This formula is really different from regular powder blushes though, so if it were me, and I only wanted 1, I'd still get it, even if it were similar. Unfortunately, I don't think there will be much tme to ponder these... they are going to sell out rather quickly I'm sure.

Thanks Audrey!

Like you say, seeing as I only want one, I'm best just gettiing it.

I think these are going to fly out.

I'm struggling to keep up with these collections though.....whew!!

I am so loving these after seeing Karla's swatches

I definately want
merrily
either warm soul or lovejoy
gentle

I'm worried about Gentle tho, would that be too cool for my NW35 skintone? I'm a noob to blush (I only had one for the first 3 years of using makeup) and I'm still haveing trouble finding what suits me, short from orange=BAD, lol

I hope these are still in stock at my counter when I get back from vacation 3 days after the release. Otherwise I am so driving to my store 45 minutes away. I don't care about gas! I need these babies...

i agree. i have to wait to see these on my own skintone before i make any decisions. that being said my limit is 5.

No, I really don't think it will even be close IMO. Salsarose is a bright blue true red/pink with a lil coral...but never comes off with any 'burnt' orange undertones. Its more Vivid than in the Burnt category.

I was wondering if Merrily would be closer to Serenely BPB, as that color is more of a burnt orange red....on, it looks like a brick red, very toned down.
IMO, I think that 'Burnt' colors are more difficult for everyone to pull off because it can turn orange-ish or make your skin look sallow.
HTH

I just saw those new swatches. I didnt even drool over them??

I want Love Thing. And Gentle (is that the raspberry one?) and ummm a peach one. I think that'll be it. I want Merrily too but itll be between that and love thing because I cant afford them both right away.

And we all know I have a heaaaaaaaaavy hand when it comes to putting on blush. So maybe Merrily isnt a good idea

I think Love Thing is pretty especially for Fall....but you prolly just want it for the name

so makeupmakesmehappy.com reported that the blushes are going to come back permanently in october...does that cool anyone's fervor to get them immediately?

heehee I think I remember another BIMBO saying they liked the name as well

No but really, its like plummy right? I like it a lot...but i dont have a burnt red blush so thats why i cant decide. Which one of these do you think will sell out faster Merrily or Love Thing? because I will wait a couple weeks to get one of them.

I wish I knew WHICH ones were going to be permanent. if they ALL are, then I can breathe a huge sigh of relief and only get like, one or two now. but I dont want them to not bring the colors I skipped back out...does that make sense?

Hahaha it should, shouldn't it? ...Buuuut sadly, it doesn't do anything for me!

I'm still rushing to my counter to check these out on July 10th!

I bet I'll need a 187 brush for Gleeful because it looks dark...ugh. I have a 188? Maybe I'll wait on the 187 until Sheer Minerals comes out and I get my first MSFs

As much as I hate how much money I'll be dropping, I'm SO excited for all of these gorgeous collections!!

hehehe

yep, its plummy...which I think would look lovely on you with a lighter plum lipstick, with Pervette or Utter Pervette just on the full part of your bottom lip to highlight & ever so slightly darker plum liner...just sayin...

Gosh, I have no clue what would sell out first

I doubt if they sell out that fast...but ya never know. Love Thing just looks like it would be so pretty with the Cult of Cherry collection...but I'm just guessing.

 

[CantMAKEUPmyMIND]

i might get plesantry but I might wait until October because I want so much right now!

 

[CoralBlast]

i love pink blushes but i have soo manyy even though all the pinks are different. I have sweetness bpb (hot pink), well dressed (light pink), and Dress Camp beauty powder which is sheer pink with lots of shimmer. Which pink mineral blush do you guys think would be different from these? lol i always order online b4 the store release so i really rely on everyones help and swatches.

 

[sleepyhead]

i was just thinking, these kinda look like larger versions of the Bourjois blushes. so does anyone know if they have similar textures/pay off too?

Dainty (which may be more peach on you), Gleeful & Pleasantry - with Pleasantry being closer, but probably not exact to what you already have.

Just from the pot photos, Pleasantry kinda looks like a cross between Dress Camp pink & Sweetness BPB...but just guessing

 

[iheartangE]

Does anyone else think Dainty looks like a paler version of Nars' Orgasm blush?

...I may be totally off (and usually am) but I swear I keep looking at it and comparing the two.

Honestly, I'm kinda hoping it is so I can cross it off me list

July 10th cannot get here fast enough!

 

[blindpassion]

I dont think I posted this already
BUT
I saw the blushes at my counter yesterday! o m f g they are gorgeous.
I saw Dainty and Pleasantry and I will definitely be getting those two plus more
I didnt have time to swatch much, just Pleasantry which I lovvedd, gorgeous light pink. It reminds me so much of Dame Blush. The colors have gorgeous depth to them, I cant wait!

 

[rbella]

Pleasantry, Gentle, Dainty, Gleeful, Love Thing Please!!! Hot Dog!!!!!!!!!
