I tried Dainty today and it is gorgeous. These blushes are so pigmented. I don't think it is anything like Alpha Girl. Dainty is what Alpha Girl wishes it was. It does remind me a bit of the Dress Camp blush but better. I only needed one swip to get the blush on my cheeks... they are very pigmented and soft... and no glitter.

I will do swatches tonite of all of them.

I really like the look of Merrily (and the idea of wearing at Christmas!) but I thought it might be too near the colour of my naturally overly-flushed cheeks which I take so much care to cover up, so I gave it a miss. I don't want to look like I'm teething or have had a slap in the face, which is how I think it would make me look! Shame though as I imagine it will look great on some people.

Thanks so much - can't wait for the swatches. I'm glad that you described Dainty - it sounds so pretty.

Do you have alot of peachy blushes. I prefer Nuance because I love peachy blushes. I was going to use Warm Soul to contour this morning... it looks like it would be beautiful to contour.

i havent got any peach blushes apart from peachykeen so i thought it would be a nice change to get one. would you say warm soul is too dark to use as a blush?

From the look of it, I don't think so. I think if somebody is really pale... it might be too dark. I am going to try it out tonite but i loved it for contouring and maybe a bit of bronzing.

Thanks Audrey! I have both SB and AG so I think I can safely pass on Dainty.

However, after seeing melliquor's haul pics, I seem to be wanting more.

I have a 188 that I use for my more pigmented blushes, so would this work? And my other question is in regard to the amount of shimmer in these. Do they give as much of a sheen as the MSF's? I used my Shy Beauty BPB this weekend and was quite happy with the colour now that I'm a touch darker, but when i looked in the rear view mirror, I was quite shocked at how much shimmer there was... I'm hoping Dainty might be somewhat similar to this but without the obvious shimmer. Any thoughts?!

Well, I am NW15 and Love Joy (that's the brownish one right?) was pretty dark on me. You might be ok with the 188 though. It's funny, I have Shy Beauty, and while I can see the shimmer in the pot, I can't see it once it's applied to my cheeks. There is shimmer in these, and IMO is seems more obvious in the darker shades. I am not sure though, if it will remain once applied, especially if you use the 188 to put it on. I'm sorry I can't be much help

So I saw these blushes today in person and I was really only drawn to four of them. The rest were too dark for my NW15 skin IMO. The ones that I ordered were dainty, gentle, gleeful, and pleasantry. I also pre-ordered the 181SE because it was soooo soft and cute. I was blown away by pleasantry because it is such a bright pink when you look at it but goes on really soft looking and not too over the top. These are so gorgeous and they are like feel buttery smooth!

See, that's what I am worried about with Merrily and Love Thing, but oddly enough, those are the ones I am most excited about... The ones you preordered, with the exception of Gleeful, were the ones I went for right away, but then kept thinking about the darker ones. I guess I am going to have to go to the counter without blush, and try them on.

Shhhhhhh! I had talked myself out of Dainty, even though I still really want it. I sure hope that I get some major giftcards for my birthday so I can get all 5 that I want and not have to worry about it

I hear ya girl! Those are the 4 that I am stuggling with, and now I am back to wanting Dainty, even though I really don't need it with Shy Beauty and Alphagirl. Why do they have to be so beautiful?!?!

I knew as soon as I heard MSF blushes... that I would be getting them all because they are in the same family as the MSF. I own all 18 of the MSFs and love them. I knew I would want all of these. I didn't even try to lie and say that I would be good and get a few.

I tested out four of them so far and they are so soft and pigmented. They remind me of the earlier MSFs... Pleasureflush, Stereo Rose, Porcelain Pink. They are similiar texture. I have posted swatches... sorry if they aren't brilliant. It is bloody hard work to get it to show up properly on the camera.

Nuance is gorgeous... it is a bit similiar on me to Joyous but I think it is a bit softer and you can layer it to get darker.

Warm Soul... is very surprising. I don't have a blush like it or seen one like it before (could be wrong). I thought i would only use this for contouring but I can def use for a blush... it is a very soft brownish peach colour.

Gentle... is very bright. I have to becareful with this one and use a light hand. It reminds me of Crazed from Nars. Is there a similiar blush from Mac?

So far... I am in love with these and already thinking of backups.

I picked up Gentle, Warm Soul & Dainty! They're so pretty. I'll try post swatches when little one goes to bed

I swatched BB Pink Raspberry on the inside of my wrist where you swatched Gentle...it seems as though they are in the same color family, but BB is a bit more of a vivid raspberry shade
