Love Thing just looks like it would be so pretty with the Cult of Cherry collection...but I'm just guessing.

Stop it. STOP IT!

I am soooo getting a plum liner...as soon as I see an autumn leaf change colors, I will be wearing those exact lips+love thing+boots+scarf+a fall jacket

I will bust out the plums this fall. definetly. Thanks girl

Okay, I seriously want every one now.

But realistically I should only get three.

I thinkg that Dainty is getting crossed off my lit because I have so many peachy-pink blushes that it is borderlining ridiculous. But I am really feeling Love Thing for some reason! I think it will be gorgeous once I use a stippling brush and sheer it out.

Also, does anyone know how Gentle compares with Secret Blush BPB? I'm Because I am looking for more of a 'purpler' plum/rasperberry than on the pinkish side.

I want Dainty for sure now! It looks more like the peach that I was looking for opposed to Nuance. And a lot of the other ones are pretty too.. I can't decide!

I will get three. Hopefully tomorrow.

My list of what I'm going to buy changes everyday!! I know I want Pleasantry, Gentle and Dainty but not sure what else. I love them all!

I find the Bourjois line generally not very good. I mean its just okay. I would invest in the MAC blushes instead.

O am still not impressed with this collection. I simply can't see use for more than 2-3 blushes in my entire collection

I have to agree with thelove4tequila, Bourjois is so hard baked, you almost have to scrape the cake to get some colour off! I think these are more comparable to Nouba, an italian brand. I even suspect that Nouba are making the blushes for MAC, as I read they are made in Italy..
One of my favorite blushes is Nouba´s no49, a lovely coral. It´s soft ,silky and very high pigmented, the texture is fantastic! The bubble also looks gorgeous!

Even though I was orginally all for the lighter colors of Pleasantry, Dainty, Gentle, and Nuance; I decided to be adventurous and go for Merrily, Pleasantry, and Love Thing. Which is really odd because my skin is so light! But I am just so excited for the release!!

I understand, Adina. At first sight, I wanted 5 of these, but now, I am trying to cut my list. As beautiful as they are, I am fearing that they just won't look *that* different from what I already have. So I have decided that I will pass on the ones that are similar to ones already in my collection, and get the ones that are different. Even though I am sure I will probably regret it somewhere down the line, I am trying to narrow it down to one *crosses fingers* I feel a bit better knowing that some of them will be back in the fall.

Same here! I have Pleasantry, DAinty and Gentle on hold, but I called yesterday to have Merrily and Love Thing put on hold because if I am going to add blushes to my collection, I want them to be UNIQUE. I know I keep going back and forth on these, but I am trying to resist the temptation and only walk away with 2 at most. I am most excited for the Merrily and Love Thing now because they are different for me!

I've been like that lately too. I want to see a lil more color on me but nicely blended (thanks to the 187). And, I think I'm going to scratch Dainty off my list too - like you said above because of having an extreme amount of light peachy/pink blushes.

I think you will like Gentle - it does appear to have a more plum/purple undertone than pink. I'll bet its going to be a gorgeous color - Love Thing too!

Elegant-one! No Dainty for me either. I have realized that Shy Beauty and Alpha Girl b/p are enough for me. I am trying to decide between Gentle and Love Thing. They seem to be of the same color family, just Love Thing is MUCH darker. I am wondering if applying Love Thing with a 187 would give close to the same color as applying Gentle with a blush brush? Hmmm...

 

[elegant-one]

If you look at the Promo shots of the girl - around her eye, it really looks like they've used a combo of Merrily & Love Joy (possibly a third) and I'm not that fond of how it looks. But IRL it could be better. I love the similar tone Serenely in the BPB, but I have a feeling this (Merrily) may be a lil more burnt than that shade.

Also, look at the actual chunks of the blush - they look so gorgeous!

Yea totally - Alpha Girl is the best!

I will have to get both Gentle & Love Thing

cause, I love them both equally. Also, I was thinking Gentle high on the cheekbone & Love Thing in the hollows of the cheekbone to contour. And, both would be so lovely on their own.

I know, the promo images kind of scare me a bit, but I think the model is much fairer than me. I am still going to try them on before I buy them. And I agree, the image of the chunks of blush is gorgeous! The colors look so rich!

The more I think about this (overnight, whoopty doo) the more I am unsure of what to do. I own a plethora of blushes and only really use the ones from my NARS collection. I have quite a large collection of both NARS and MAC blushes, but if I'm always gravitating toward the other, perhaps I could skip this altogether and save some money?

I have always felt that the payoff of NARS blushes is so much better, and that the colors are more workable for my skin tone. I wonder if I am just getting tempted by all the excitement of this launch? Perhaps this is not a necessity for me. Somebody please talk me out of buying these.....

Thanks for your help, Dainty is what I was leaning towards. I really want to narrow this down to one blush considering the price is $21 according to the collections thread. I am buying A LOT of stuff from the Electroflash collection because I have been really looking forward to it. Not to mention Colour Forms this month. This is a really bad month for me with all these collections coming out. GRRR!!

Oh, you're more than welcome...of course I'm just kinda guessing by what you said & the pics in general. I hope Dainty is exactly what you're looking for

You know, it's really ok just to pick up one or two items from a collection

No one should buy just because of excitement, but because its something that you love & know that the colors will work for you

Good heavens, page 28 wants to be page 27 all over again

Does that just happen for me?
