I've tried some on this afternoon and my favourites are Pleasanty, Dainty, Gentle and Warm Soul, but I do love them all. I'll just have to be very careful not to use too much on the darker colours like Merrily.

I'm trying to do swatches but it's so hard!!

from the swatches it seems like Dainty looks just like porcelain pink MSF - does anyone know if they are alike, or even have swatches of them?


Hi,
I'm NC15, I use Porcelain Pink all the time as blush, and I love Dainty as well. The two colors are not the same, PP is much softer/sheer than Dainty. Dainty has more coral to it. Here are some swatches. Click to enlarge. Left to right and top to bottom, Dainty and Porcelain Pink.

I just did a live chat... the model in the Sonic Chic promo image is wearing Love Joy blush on and above the eye, and Love Thing, lightly under the eye.

The MAC site swatch of Love Thing, looks absolutely beautiful!

Their swatch squares appear a little better this time, especially of the Electroflash eyeshadow duos.

Ok, there I was thinking I was not a blush person.

So I went back today and had a better look at them.
And what I got was Dainty (lovely colour), Gentle (will probably be my favourite) and Warm Soul.

I loved Nuance, but when I tried it on it was just glitter on me.

Like jasminbarley said before Gentle is a bit purple, but not really on me. An amazing colour. Really great.

Pleasantry was too pink for me and one of the other colours, cannot remember the name, was a bright orange on me.

And I got the baby kabuki brush.

I think those colours are really great and choosing was not easy. They are not as strong as I expected them to be.

Thanks to CantaffordMAC and trollydolly.

Dainty, Gentle & Warm Soul seem to be the 3 that most are choosing...hmmmm, interesting. Those 3 are my first picks too.

Do any lighter toned ladies plan on getting Love Joy? I am NC25 and wonder just how brown this is. It is hard to tell from swatches. In some it looks really brown and in others more reddish. Any thoughts?

Talk about raining on my parade! I was thinking of getting three but at $25CDN, with the number of blushes I have and some of these coming back, I'll cut down to 2, maybe even one. Oh the pain!

Deciding between: Gentle, Love Thing, Merrily. But waiting on swatches requested (w/ Lovecrush and Apple Red) before finalizing things. GAH!

I am NC 25 and for me Love Thing looks more brown than peachy. I will pass it.

EDIT: Sorry, I mean LOVE JOY here.

Bummer...I just saw on nordstrom's websie you can order online & pick up in store for electroflash, so I decided to call & order it through a person instead(after adding everything I wanted to my cart to make sure my local store had it in stock) Anyhow, when I called the MA said they are not selling anything from the collection until the 10th. Boo
