I have SO many blushes that I hardly ever wear (having some application technique problems) and I went crazy with the BP blushes. But I could not let these go! I wanted Nunance and Warm Soul also...but my bank account wouldn't let me...lol

My god, words cannot describe how much I adore these blushes! I received my haul yesterday (Gentle, Gleeful and Warm Soul) and literally 5 minutes after I opened the box I was back online ordering Pleasantry!

My blush collection tends towards the neutrals/peaches, but I just love the look/feel of these mineralized ones so much I figured if I'm going to branch into the bright pink territory I want to do it with this formula! I'm also thinking of picking up Nuance eventually, but I suspect that would be a "safe" color for me..how many peachy blushes can one girl own?! Unless Nuance is unique enough in that "gotta have it" way I think I might be able to pass on this one.

I'm finding it really hard to pick a favorite of the 3 I already have, they are all just lovely. I wore Gentle yesterday and I'm wearing Warm Soul today, I cannot get away from the mirror checking myself out!

Give Love Joy a try. You won't regret it.

If you want to branch into plum that is.

I went for Nuance, Dainty and Warm Soul in the end.....can't wait for them all to arrive.

I am not normally a "pink" sort of girl - I am nc35 and i tend to stick to the bronze tones but I am tempted to try one of these in a pinky shade.

 

[iheartangE]

I love Warm Soul and Gleeful so much...as much as I don't have the extra cash right now I am SO lemming Pleasantry, Dainty, and Nuance!! I'm just praying that they'll be re-released with the mineral display later this year so that I don't miss out on them forever. Although they seem pretty popular so I think I have a shot.

Oh, they are so beautiful!!

I will get the peach ones in October if they come back. They do come back, I am sure

Now for summer I have bought the pink shades!

It did not turn orange on me at all. I think that the reason its not turning orange is because it actually has a rose/pink base to it even though it doesn't look like that in the pot. If you wipe it off your face with a tissue, you'll see the pink. I compared it to Serenely BPB....Although they are both in the same color family, Serenely is much lighter, more peach. Merrily is more coral/pink/peach & several shades darker with more of the gold pearl.

Yay, glad to hear you like it Elegant One! I love the way it looks on the brides but was a bit worried it might not be good for PPP's after all.For some reason I'm kind of drawn to this colour. Maybe it's because I love Benetint and that's also highly pigmented but good for fair people.

Wow Merrily is very pigmented! Even for an NC35'er its pretty dark/pigmented. I tried it on my cheeks last night and it was bold! I think I like it. But my surprising favorite out of my bunch is still Nuance. It gives the perfect glow with a hint of color. I love it! Now I have to try Pleasentry! I'm trying NOT to go to the swatch forum cuz I'm debating about getting some more!

Oh, I want to try Merrily next week if they already have it.
Would you wear it if you were NC20?

Interesting is that Nuance does not show up on me, just the glitter.

Just wanted to thank you ladies for all your amazing swatches. Some of us depend solely on your swatches because we don't get to see the products in person until they arrive with mail. You did an awesome job with Sonic Chic photos and product swatches!

I just bought Dainty (i prefer gentle cheek colours and since i have Don't be shy from Barbie i couldn't justify getting Pleasantry because I don't need another pink - unless i win the lottery) and I'm so excited.

 

[TangoMT]

Thank you ladies!

Funny thing about that Love Joy! It was actually in my Top 5 picks when I was first checking out the Sonic Chic collection, but I ended up limiting myself to 3 in an attempt to be good with my hauling (I'm failing miserably, can you tell?

) I'm already anticipating the "side eye" I'm going to get from my husband when my Pleasantry box comes in, so I should probably wait a little while before I go back for Love Joy (and maybe some Nuance too..why won't the idea of this one leave me alone!)!

Susanne, that is so pretty!!

Damn, I wished I got warmed now

I got Warm Soul today though..........LOVE it, I think it will make a nice glowy bronzer for us pale ladies.

I wanted dainty but they were sold out, it seems they are sold out of quite a few at my counter..........

I also got expensive pink........WOW, why the hell have I not bought this yet??
