I own Dollymix, Nars Sin and Orgasm and I purchased Goddess. The reason was because I wanted a coral blush to add to my collection and I wanted something without shimmer. And in my case I was going for a matt look. In addition I bought Vegas Volt and Raquel so Goddess naturally completed the coral package.

Fyi I am C/NC30/35 and Goddess is indeed bright. It's beautiful though imo, however I would imagine since you are fair you definitely need an even lighter hand with Goddess than I. I think it's a great purchase, but if you aren't into a completely matt look then Orgasm is a peachy-pink enough blush to give you the same/similiar look. (that was my money saving rationale for you there ) Orgasm doesn't show up on my skin as well so I need to use a heavier hand but doing so just increases the shimmer for me.

As for the brush, my MAC MA applied Goddess and Smile on my cheeks using the 168 and I really liked it. It's definitely excellent for contouring and it didn't deposit too much blush at all. The 168 felt soft but firm at the same time. Sorry, but I didn't get a chance to use the 169 so I don't have a comparison comment for you.

HTH!
