I should be sleeping, but instead here's my take on trying them all on today, and bringing a bag full of other blushes with me to compare.
FoJ: I wanted to like this, but honestly, Sakura MB looks almost the same on me, but nicer than FoJ - better texture, richer color. I actually skipped it.
Lovecloud: OK, this one looks almost exactly like Giggly MB. However, unlike FoJ, it's got a nicer texture and is much more buildable. Even though I have plenty of Giggly, I got this one, since if anything, I really don't like to take MBs around with me on the go, for fear I'll drop and break them. Lovecloud can come travel around in my purse just fine.
Immortal Flower: Another one that is VERY close to another blush - in this case, Mighty Aphrodite (the light half). IF is just a bit richer and more glowing of a color, plus it's so buildable and fuses so nicely with your skin. It's also a tiny touch less pink than MA, making it a bit more all year round, in my opinion. 'Had to get it.
Pink Tea: Not my cup of tea, to be honest. Applied sheerly, you could hardly see it, but then building it up turned it into a sort of average pink color that wasn't very special. My Subtle Breeze will do the same work, but better. Didn't get.
Peony Flower: So beautiful! Wasn't expecting to love this as much as I did. Perfect texture for a bright pink like this - goes on with total ease of application. MUCH nicer than FoJ, while still staying in the same cool family. Bought!
Modern Mandarin: Yep, most unique color of the collection. Looks divine on NC15. It's very similar to Marine Life, except it's softer and much easier to apply without going overboard. In fact, using MM along the cheekbone and then accentuating and intensifying the apples with a dab of Marine Life created a stunning effect - I'll be wearing the #$@#$$ out of this blush.
If you have to get only one, I'd say Modern Mandarin or Lovecloud, since they're both very versatile, can look soft and subtle or bright and cheerful or swanky nighttime, depending on how you apply it. Lovecloud's maybe a touch more springy, while MM is a little more of a year-round color. IF is the very close runner up and is very special, but will be more of a hassle to build up properly on darker skin tones.
Oh, one last thing! The new Skin Smoother....if you put some of any of these blushes on a 130, then dab it into the skin smoother and then apply, you get a ridiculously fabulous texture and color payoff similar to the Cremeblend blushes. It transforms these blushes into yet another great look, as if they needed even more versatility.
