I ended up with 4 of the blushes, and I wear MM the least - I'm just too pale at the moment to feel confident in it!
So for me, it's: Lovecloud>Pink Tea>Immortal Flower>Modern Mandarin

I tried Full of Joy as a highlight and it is amazing! When you apply it on the cheeks, it turns subtle when you blend it out. I'm glad that it doesn't look ashy on my skintone!

I have tried FOJ as a highlight as well, but for me it doesn't work. I like it as a blush, but it's just to opague and purple to be a highlight for me.

What is on your lids/lips. we have the same eye shape type, How do you put shadow in the crease with the fold/hood eyelid? any tips on how to apply your shadow and how shape your eyes?

I'm glad you were able to get your back up. Maybe you can press it with some alcohol?
I don't know. I've never repaired such damage. I just prepared the back up for depotting and so far so good. I really would like to salvage the first... Do you know how it's done?

Oh no, this is an emergency. Mix up the powder with alcohol (pharmacy) and mix it until it's a more or less even texture, let it try a bit until is starts to get dry, it should feel drier when you touch it. Then get a clean piece of cloth and press it down with something round. I never tried to press blush, so no idea what you can use. Enkore has a great tutorial how to press pigments, the method is the same. So far I just repressed eyeshadows. Fingers crossed you can save it.

I stopped a Bloomies and Macy's Mac Counter. I couldn't remember what I needed to get at either counter. I was about to walk away from the second Mac counter when I was the Tres Cheek display and I was reminded of the Magenta blush. Well, they had it in stock. BTW they had a whole bunch of 2 colors on the Tres Cheek display. The first was Pink Cult. When I went to pick up the second color I was reminded of what I needed just as the SA walked up. I'm guessing the other color was Pink Tea since they looked similar. I'm guessing these 2 colors didn't do as well as the others.

Thank you so much ladies... I just tried. I might have used too much alcohol. We'll see. Fingers crossed....
Oh noooooooooo.....I'm so sorry to hear that.

Does using alcohol not alter the composition of the blush? I understand that it will dry, but doesn't it leave the non-evaporated part of the alcohol in the blush, and does it not then irritate/dry out the skin?

I hope you can save yours!
