Me too! About Gleeful, that is...I've been looking for a really neutral (not like, brown neutral, like...hard to explain. Close to just a basic natural not-trying-to-alter-your-cheeks-too-much kind of flush, if that makes sense) blush for a while and I have a feeling Gleeful might be it. A dusty deep pink just sounds great to me, if applied lightly on my NC15-20 skin.

I'll gladly report back to this thread once I've tested it and possibly purchased it in person, but by then so will all of you so it might be a moot issue. I still will though!

Just my opinion, but I really think Gentle is the prettiest color of them all

Prolly one of the first to sell out.

...hahaha...It seems to be the one my eye is always drawn to. And, I think its a flattering color & transitional into fall. There, are those enough reasons

I seriously cannot spell today...& NO, I haven't been drinking...yet

Same here. I would definitely try a lot less if it weren't for Specktra.
Sometimes you need someone else to suggest things and time to think about them.

 

[Luceuk]

My order has dispatched

with my 8 Sonic Chic blushes, they should arrive on monday. I'll post swatches when I get them.

That logic is good enough for me.

And since you are such a blush fiend, what PRO shades would you recommend? I'm debating between Azalea, Salsarose, Devil, Cantaloupe, Full Fuchsia, and Dirty Plum. Right now, I only want to get 1-2 of them, but they all look so appealing.

Definitely Salsarose! it is such a pretty red/pink slight coral. I don't have the others, but I'm eyeing Azalea & Rhubarb right now. I've heard that Cantaloupe is pretty. I think purrtykitty just did a FOTD using it.

I just got a look at Dirty Plum...that color looks beautiful. That would really work with Cult of Cherry

I just did a eBay search on Dirty Plum to get a better idea of the color, and it looks like it might be my purple blush! Just perfect to go along with the CoC blushers. The only thing is that it's a matte. Are they difficult to work with? I've never worked with them before.

my dilemma as well. ive got the 182 brush but for some reason i really want the 181se but i dont know if i need it...?? i was thinking itd be good for my makeup bag i keep in my handbag.

also i ordered pleasantry, nuance and warm soul yesterday and now i cant stop thinking about dainty! lol i just dont know if i need them or not, its so confusing!

 

[x.DOLLYMiX.x]

I ordered Dainty, Nuance and Pleasantry but I really want to order Merrily and Gentle!! I have so many blushes but I just cant resist them

i feel your pain! lol. i think im going to get dainty tomorrow...

 

[Karen_B]

Those of you that have seen these blushes in person, would you say Dainty is similar to Light Flush? Is Dainty very peach? I tend to veer towards peachy toned blushes (like Springsheen, Milani Luminous, Light Flush...), so I'd like to get something that isn't too similar to what I already have, but Dainty looks oh so pretty...

Oh and AudreyNicole, if you are contemplating Love Thing I might have to, also. I was worried that it would be too dark for me but I believe I am just a tad darker than you (NC200).

Heres what Audrey originally posted:

Dainty is the lightest of all of the colors, and is a peachy pink, similar to Shy Beauty BPB. Nuance was very pretty, but I am afraid this one might have the same tendency to turn orange on some skintones like Spaced Out from NSF.

Sorry, I am pissed off. MAC Germany has delivery problems, no goods have arrived yet and no one knows when the new collections (Cool Heat, Electroflash, Sonic Chic, New View) will arrive here.

All the rest of Europe has them already and we are the fools here again

I am really frustrated and sad today. I have saved money for these collections since weeks and now no one wants my money. I called four counters today that I could reach - it is a general problem. I don't want posting today here.

mac is so inconsistent in europe, its really not fair

 

[Bluebell]

Susanne, ich which city did you call the counters?

In Munich ist everything (Cool Heat, Electroflash, Duo MSF) available, but not Sonic chic.
Maybe you can get your stuff at douglas online tomorrow?

 

[Luceuk]

Susanne, I know how excited you were. I hope Germany get the collections soon.

Oh that's fab to hear! I ordered Dainty earlier, and am now very pleased to hear that it's similar to Shy Beauty, I absolutely love that. Can't wait to recieve it, thanks!
