nooo!!!
I am lighter then NC15 and Pleasantry is my favorite blush from this collection

that being said, I do love the fake blush look, I make sure people know Im wearing it, but its very buildable, you can do a light application and it just looks like a dusting of pink.

The 181 that is available now with Sonic Chic and will be available again in October is made by hand and is very, very soft, definitely as soft as the 182 if not softer. The 181SE that came out previously with Novel Twist is machine made and I have heard not as soft. I would not hesitate to buy the 181 from Sonic Chic. HTH!

I only bought Gentle (I am being really picky now!) and I loooooove it. So pretty and unique!

And ya know? I love each and every one of them. Unlike past blush purchases where the love died very quickly, I just love these all! I wore Dainty again today with the melange side of Two to Glow on my lids, they really look great together.

I agree with the others that Pleasantry will work very well. These can be worn sheer if applied lightly. Love Joy however would probably be too dark. How about Warm Soul? It's a beige-y colour with a touch of pink, definitely not too dark.

I was washing it and the entire head of hair came out in my hands. WTF?????????? I'm so pissed b/c it was so soft and buffed out my colors so well. I am hesistant to get a new one b/c of the constant problems I had with shedding and, oh yea, the ENTIRE brush falling out in my hands. I am also hesitant to get the 181 b/c I'm afraid it won't be as soft. What do I do?????????

Aww thanks! It feels so good getting a package in the mail nowadays. I'm loving my stuff so far.

I'd like to add about your 182 brush. I have one and it never sheds. I suppose you got a bad brush? From what I hear the new 181 is just as soft as the 182. Honestly if you are worried about another crappy brush, try a different brand! There are soooooooo many great kabuki's out there to try!

I use the 187 & it has the best light touch. I barely touch it to the surface of the powder, so some times I have to do it twice, & I don't have to blend it out. BTW, I just bought the green set of the Nordies CF brushes & the 187 in it was sooooo soft I couldn't believe it

Yay! Doing the Happy Dance for ya

BTW...I just came back from spending the day at Nordies so I got to see Merrily in person (mine arrives by ups tomorrow) & it is sooo pretty. I can't wait to see what it looks like on me.

I had such a blast & I'm still hyped up from my Vanilla Latte

It just doesn't get any better than MAC & a Latte does it

how were you washing it? it sounds like you got too much water down into the ferrules, causing the glue to loosen up and the entire head to pop off.

next time, if you decide to get another one, just use brush cleanser. or, if you feel like you need to rinse it under water, cup your hand with a bit of water and rinse from that little "pool" in your hand, keeping the head down at all times. then air dry it laying on its side. DON'T stand it on end to dry. all this does is let all that water drip down inside the handle, ruining the brush.

I am so excited for you to get Merrily and try it! As soon as I hear your thoughts, I am going to get that baby! I have birthday money, and I have to pick my husband up at that airport on Saturday, which is RIGHT next to the mall!

I think I want to get another one besides Merrily, so should I get Warm Soul or Dainty?

I was sooo hoping the counters in Munich have them already, but they do not

I wanted to have a closer look at the "darker" colours like Merrily and Gleeful, but I want to do this with my fav MA. Maybe they are around next week?

Come on MAC, speed up a bit. We are waiting here and changing our minds every day. Deliver the goods now.

Aww...I want to go shopping for MAC with you darn it!

Wow, Dainty or Warm Soul...that is a really tough call cause I really like both, but prolly Warm Soul is the more unique of the 2, but I would see how you like it on you first.

I agree with Elegant-One on this (as well as many other things!). If you have to choose between the two, I'd say Warm Soul.

 

[andreacvbb]

hey audrey,,,,,

i would go for warm soul..just because dainty will be repromote in october 100%..so you can get it later...hth...its just my way of thinking...


so i am still waiting.......

 

[GlamYOURUs]

Just when I thought Fafi blushes AND the BPB did it for me....I now want more of these puppies!

But I don't know which one(s) to get. I initially wanted Nuance and Warm Soul. And maybe even Love Joy. But I do have Eversun and I am wondering if any of the two, are just like it.

Love Joy and Gleeful would look gorgeous on you.

I LOVE Love Joy myself, and I'm NC30. And I would cheat on my boyfriend with Gleeful.

(Not really, but you get the point. XD)

I don't even remember what Gleeful looked like. lol I am thinking of getting Love Joy though. Its a bit dark but its probably a great shade for the summer.

No money left!! We will get Colour Forms on August 2nd here - I will pick up the 181 in October then. (LOL - my list for the mineralized line in October is soo long...)
I have a small kabuki brush from a cheaper brand here that works fine for me.
