Man do I agree with that! I was wondering what you thought of Warm Soul?
At first, I didn't think it would be a color for me, but after seeing some swatches, I thought it would make a very nice natural look.

So far I'm getting...Dainty, Gentle, Pleasantry, Love Thing

So, I this was asked earlier in the thread but I dont believe it was answered. For those of you who have/have seen the 181SE, is it large enough to use to apply mineral makeup and studio fix, etc? Bc I would like to be able to use it not only for blush application but for for other face powders. Should I just save up and get the 182 later? Also, is Nuance similar to Sunbasque at all? Bc I just got that blush and I LOVE it, and if Nuance is similar I will def want to pick that up!

Originally from the color descriptions I had wanted Nuance, but since I am so fair, I think it will turn orangey on me. I feel like Warm Soul will be a good color for the summer & will sit in a drawer all fall, winter & spring until next year. So, at that rate, I'll have it for years, lol

I would be tempted to buy more, but after gettinga few of the BPBs & the MSF's that will be back out in October, I am going to be good or I will have so many face products that will be collecting dust. If I was smart, I would only get Dainty in this collection, but a girl needs to splurge a little, ya know?

Yes, I think it would work just fine for those applications IMO. I just checked & the diameter of the full head of the brush is exactly the same size as the full size 187 brush.

I don't have Sunbasque.

HTH dear

Yep, I thought the exact same thing about Nuance! I was thinking that Warm Soul would give us pale girls that pretty natural 'no makeup' makeup look without being a bronzer. But, its hard to tell so far.

Splurge it will be. For me, I use blushes more than anything else because some days thats all I have time to throw on (& a lil lip color). And, a girls gotta have a little color

Im glad u agree with me! Pleasantry looks awesome when its not glowing in the dark! I should just buy it though...I could always sell it if it doesnt work out lol

ur awesome. That helped so much. I dedicate this post to you. Aaaaaand I'm stealing rbella's Starbucks gift card for .37 cents and its heading your way!

So now guys I'm not sure if I want dainty...or if I should skip it since I have light flush MSF.

Or if I should get Nuance. Or skip THAT since I have warmed MSF.

.37 cents???

....prolly all i would get with that is...what, an empty cup

...or, maybe they'll let me have a little flavored syrup

I haven't even seen these in person, and I've already decided on a third! I'm adding Gentle to my list, Dainty and Lovejoy being the other two. I've thought long and hard about which blushes I reach for the most, and it's the brighter pinks that I like to apply lightly over bronzer. As much as I love the blue based pinks (True Romantic and Dame come to mind), I still don't reach for these near as much. So there it is. That's my list and no swatches will make me change it!

Actually, if you register the Starbuck's card online, the syrup's free, lol! Um, it could get you part of a petit vanilla scone?!

This is why I'm so on the fence with Pleasantry. I'm concerned with slopping a shit ton of pink on my face. I think I might wait until I see it in person.
