Your thoughts on Blossoming blushcreme?

[deathcabber]

I got Sweet William and I love it! Now of course I am thinking of getting Blossoming. I know there was some debate over whether it was LE or not but since MAC's website says it isnt Im not quite as rushed. Basically, I have a ton of corally blushes like Foolish Me and Stereo Rose, etc. Do I still need this? Any thoughts on it? Thanks

they both are a bit dark for my complexion

For me it's too coral.

i love blossoming, but i also have lilicent and i know i'll have trouble alternating between them since they're both pretty similar. i got it in a frenzy at the culturebloom party and no one was giving a straight answer to whether or not they were perm! anyway, i'd say wait on it until you run out of one of your corally blushes (but for ref. it does look different from stereo rose).

i LOVE LOVE LOVE it, i use it everyday. if you have too many corals then i dont know dont get it? but i think compared to the other coral blushes i have seen this is a more natural coral..

ohhh how does it look like compared to stereo rose??? I love stereo rose and it was described as a coral--- how is blossoming different, if this is TOO bright or vibrant i'll pass...!!

to me stereo rose is lighter but blossoming isnt vibrant or bright at all on me and i have super pale skin. sorry i cant do swatches for you but i bet someone else can.

actually, i find stereo rose much more vibrant than blossoming. blossoming is more muted, and i think it goes on a little more sheer than the other blushcremes, but it's buildable.

i can't do swatches right now because my digi battery is dead, but i can do one later this evening =) for now there are separate swatches in the swatch gallery.

ohhh thank you-- please do swatches I'd really appreciate it!! Does blossoming give that glowy look like skinfinishes do or what? Is it hard to blend and is it sticky at all--- those are my worries :S....

 

[deathcabber]

Oh, this would help me out a ton too!!!!

 

[mandirigma]

not the best swatch, as i had to use flash and i swatched stereo rose dry, but i hope this helps at least a little. for reference, i'm an nc40.

also, keep in mind that when you brush the blushcremes on, they go on much more sheer and they're buildable. they're pretty much as sheer or as bold as you want them to be. and to answer your q, dstroyedangel, IMO the blushcremes EXTREMELY easy to blend. they are sticky, but if you set with a powder or MSF or powder blush then your hair won't stick to it or anything.

i absolutely love it, and was debating on wether or not i should buy sweet william, i think it's goregous, but i can't compare it to stereo rose since i don't have it....

 

[deathcabber]

thanks so much for the pic!!! it really helped

now i know i need blossoming

wow thanks for showing the difference--- blossoming has A LOT more color then stereo rose- or it might just be my eyes Im an nc25-30ish I believe and so thats why Im hesitant in getting blossoming- Im worried about looking like barbie... yup...
