In my opinion, the promotion picture with the lady in it does not do these blushes justice.
These blushes are gorgeous. They have a slight shimmer. Watch out! They can fool you. They are pigmented. A little goes a long way. They will last you a long time.
I tested a few on my face and was shocked how just a touch goes so far. Let's just say I was walking around with an attention getting look with three different blushes on my cheeks.

I finally saw these in person and they are so cute!! I wanted every one and the brush too! I was playing with the 181 when my sister came up and started yelling at me that I don't need any more brushes. As if! lol But I was really just wowed by them, just blush perfection.

I had NO intention of buying anything from this collection...I am a huge fan of Nars blushes and I have alot of other Mac blushes (I even forgot about some of the BPB I had). Anyway, I saw all the raves here and checked them out in the store. I am now the proud owner of Gentle, Warm Soul, and Dainty.
I never thouht I would like Gentle, I am NW20 w/warmer /yellow undertones so I shy away from pinks/purple colors. I am wearing it today and it is great! It reminds me of a less shimmery version of Afterdusk (one of my all time faves)from Moonbathe.
I am still debating on buying the 181 brush. I applied Gentle w/the 187 and it seemed to work just fine. These blushes are super-pigmented.

I am wearing Merrily today and will take some pics when I get home. Merrily is great... but you need a really light hand with it. I am NC/W20 and it works great for me but I just dab my skunk brush in once and get enough colour. I love it though and is one of my favourite ones.

I 'm going back today to pick up either Love Thing or Merrily. Which one do you guys recommend for NC 35 skin with pink undertones?

OMG, I tried Love Thing on my own (i.e. without MA help, lol) and talk about FLUSH! I barely tapped my 129 into it and the bristles were covered in product! Not a very successful first use - buffing it out made the blush go everywhere so now I'm prettily embarassed all day, lol! - but definitely goes to testify these babies will last forever and can be used just as you'd like (sheered or full-blast).

Ugggh ): I was definitely going to pass on this collection to save for other ones...but after I saw the new swatches I can barely resist
. I'm happy the're super pigmented! They will last my a long long time with a 188 brush too. I'm thinking about Merrily, Love Thing, and Gentle. I will limit myself to only one or two.

I finally dragged my sorry tail in to MAC to look at these IRL. I got Gentle in the mail (love, love, love!!!) but Love Thing & Merrily are both calling my name :/ NW15 or not!

Got my 181 brush today and it is heavenly soft, maybe not quite as soft as my beloved Stylistics 129 but definitely as soft as the 138. I don't have the 182 but the 181 is even softer than I remember that one feeling. It did bleed quite a bit when I washed it but that has been the case with just about every brush I've bought from anyone in the last year. I also received the synthetic Aromaleigh baby kabuki that I mentioned umpteen pages back and it doesn't compare to the 181 in any way, shape or form (literally). Although it is super soft it's much punier and less full than the MAC brush. Very glad I bought the 181 and I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already!

Holy crap, these things are the shizz!!! This collection has single handedly made me a blush whore. I'm pretty sure I'm going to totally skip electroflash in favor for more of these. I just bought two yesterday in an effort to show restraint, Love Thing and Love Joy. Love Thing gives me this perfect plummy flush and Love Joy is the perfect "no blush" blush for my NW35 skin! One thing I know is that I am so going back for more as I get more money available to me. Merrily, Nuance, Gentle, you will be mine!!!

I think Love Thing would look lovely on you! (then again, I love LOVE thing like no other!)
In fact I'm wearing it today! That's what I love about these blushes is for the first time, I'm wearing the blush to show off the blush color over the eyes and lips. Simple bare eyes, nude lips, and a shimmer of color on the cheeks! Mind you I NEVER do this and have been the past few days.
They just make you feel glowy in the perfect way. Dorky, I know but I can't explain it any other way.
