I'm going to Beck on monday. At douglas.de they are putting the stuff already online, so we will be available to order our goodies soon.

I'm very sad, that I can't get the sonic chic blushes until the end of july

in Germany.

Thank you! I knew I had read a description somewhere, but I got galopping dementia... been sitting on a bus for 10 hours today, and only slept 2 hours last night. At least I've got a long weekend ahead of me now

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!

Well, some people have said it's a dusty pink with coral in it. So it might not be THAT natural, but I'm hoping it'll give me a pretty flush that'll work with NC30 skin.

OoOo, I could see Gleeful looking lovely on your skin! A perfect summer flush!

I called four counters today that I could reach - it is a general problem. I don't want posting today here.

Oh Susanne, that is just awful!

Does a manager know anything about it? Maybe call your 1800 MAC # ? Maybe you'll hear some good news soon - I sure hope so

The 181se is on my list, handbag or travelling. Plus the 182, is it not too big as a blush brush?

I think I will get Warm Soul and maybe another one, maybe Pleasantry or Dainty. Whichever is less pink on me

This is really weird. As if a van got missing somewhere along the route...

But why are the collections online @douglas and why has Ludwig Beck them already?

I just hope they get enough, even if it is late. I am in Munich in two weeks and I hope to pick something up then.

Oh! I feel so bad for you Susanne!

Sending you a big hug!

*snickering* bad girl, bad girl....I just got Pro blush Rhubarb.

I love rhubarb pie

that will work just as good as any other excuse.

I just saw a new real picture of Warm Soul - verrrry pretty!
and, Merrily....this looked really pretty too...uh oh

Are we all on the same blush wavelength? Because I just ordered Azalea, Salsa Rose, Full Fuchsia, Devil, Rhubarb, Dirty Plum and one other. I know, I know, but these have been on my wish list for over a year, and I just wanted to go ahead and get blush mostly out of my system.

And I will also add that apparently Flame Red is very similar to Mystic for those who missed out on Mystic or who are trying to find it. And House Wine is similar to Fever, but less red. Hopefully that helps anyone who like me, has to order Pro items blindly.

Anyway, I don't know how excited I am about these shades though (or the price tag). I am not making a wishlist, I will just have to wait and see what I like in the store.

 

[muibien]

Which ones would you suggest I should get as I´m NC40-42 with blond hair and blue eyes?

HaHa...I posted under your other request for swatche or description information, but decide to order it anyway. I think they will all be very pretty.

Are you getting any of the Sonic Chic blushes?

Let us know what you think of the blush colors!

 

[NatalieMT]

I picked up Warm Soul and Dainty today, was also tempted by Gentle but I was trying to keep my purchases to a minimum. When I saw the stand I thought those two especially were the ones that sort of shouted 'buy me'. I like very much how sheer they are and how the colours are not overpowering on me being so fair.

I love how Warm Soul is sort of a bronzer on me and how Dainty isn't too pink, it just looks really fresh. Definitely thought this was one of the best collections so far this year.

Well, since you already ordered them and you love us here at Specktra so much, would you mind posting swatches of them when they come in?

I just ordered Azalea and Salsarose because I'm already planning on getting four of the Sonic Chic blushes, a 187, two 227s, a blush palette, a Sculpt pan, and an Emphasize pan.

That's Awesome

I almost went ahead & bought Azalea too...maybe I'll wait to see what you think. Really, you will have a very nice blush collection then.

I think I posted this before, but I have worn Salsarose with TT Hot N saucy or Tropic Glow almost everyday because its so pretty on

Awww, thank you!

Before I decided to get Azalea, I tried some Fuchsia pigment on my cheeks just to get an idea of the color. It was way too frosty for my liking, but if Azalea is anything near that, I'm going to be one extremely happy gal.

OO, and I just sent my B2Ms in, and one of them was for Tropic Glow! Yay! I seriously can't wait for them to come in now! lol

Elegant-one, I may have missed it, but did you finally decided on what you're getting from Sonic Chic, or are you still deciding?

I've heard others say that Azalea is beautiful on. I can't wait to hear what you think

Well, I was @5 Dainty, Pleasantry, Gentle, Warm Soul, Love Thing, & then I saw that new picture of Merrily...so now I'm debating about it. Plus, i saw Merrily used on a brides cheeks on the other site, although it was hard to discern the color in the photo.

I'm only getting 3 of the eyeshadows, so i don't mind having new blushes
