its kinda like a matte blush with beauty powder on top... you have that shimmer effect but its very fine texture

But Sweetness is the "mattest" Beauty Powder Blush of all.

I was whining to my friend and he was like yeah well you can pay less for make up, but more for health care!!

Not me, we don't have health care. Don't want it. Prefer preventative maintenance.

And more inexpensive makeup too....if you can find it- we don't even have a MAC counter here at all!

Again, I gotta see these babies in person. I don't want to get all 8 and not like them. I have to learn how to be picky.

One more day!!

My order came and they are gorgeous, especially the texture! I can see where they could fall apart during depotting tho - they're kinda crumbly when I use my skunk brush on them. My faves are True Romantic, Joyous, and Secret Blush. Not so sure about Feeling yet....I'm feeling it may be too dark for my paleness even with a light hand. LOL

Good heavens Winthrop44...that was really fast shipping! Those 3 seem to be everyones favs so far. I was wondering about feeling too. Soooo glad to hear that you like them...yay

I feel like i need a bunch of blush brushes now *sigh*

Winthrop44 · 03-12-2008, 03:42 PM #**257** (**permalink**)

Oh I know -- I was *shocked* to see the UPS man pull up with them! Hope yours come soon too.

Are these really glittery? I'm not so much into glitter but i like shimmer.

elegant-one · 03-12-2008, 03:58 PM #**259** (**permalink**)

No, there is no glitter in these blushes

Winthrop44 · 03-12-2008, 04:04 PM #**260** (**permalink**)

ITA - no glitter. I can't stand glitter and I love these.

Edited to say: Now that I've received Shy Beauty I would have to say this one does have some glitter, but I don't find it to be obnoxious glitter, if you know what I mean. HTH!

Ethel · 03-12-2008, 05:52 PM #**261** (**permalink**)

The True Romantic I ordered just arrived--I ordered it yesterday! Now that's fast shipping!

It's really pretty a medium pink with a very slight mauve undertone and a pretty sheen. I think I'll be ordering more of these.

jenntoz · 03-12-2008, 06:24 PM #**262** (**permalink**)

Yessssssss!!!

I got mine today too...Shy Beauty, Secret Blush & True Romantic. I love them all & am super happy with my picks!

thank you!!! for stating the quality of blushes and that theym might crumble during depotting...i've been asking around and it seems as though i'm freaking talking "alien"...do you think through time depotting will be easier once its been used and molded to be more of a not so flat and easy to crumble?

elegant-one · 03-12-2008, 06:38 PM #**264** (**permalink**)

man, where is my order???

I'm sooooo happy that everyone loves the blushes!!! So far, I have not heard one negative thing about them. MAC scores on these

Hmmm...I really couldn't tell you. I've never depotted blushes myself, just e/s, but if I did I think I would probably just leave these the way they are and not risk it.

i didn't have the other blushes to compare if it is the matt-EST, but i still wouldnt call it matte. i can see it shimmer in the pan lol. when i put on sweetness, it has a bit of a sheen of a beauty powder on me. i still wouldnt call it matte anyhow...

i got my feeling in the mail yesterday... its a nice muted browned plum... less plummy than i was expecting... and it has equal shimmer as sweetness when i swiped it with different fingers on my hand, in my opinion.

i cant wait to go to the MAC counter tmr!

I know there are two colors that look like the Fafi blushes. What two colors are those? So I won't buy them.

I heard Joyous is like Hipness, and Sweetness is a slightly brighter version of fashion frenzy.

I tried to go look at these babies today (I had to kill time between classes) so I went to a Nordstrom that I dont usually go to, and asked if I could see them. The MA was like "they dont come out until tomorrow." And i said "I know, i just want to look at them." and he REFUSED to let me look at them! i was like DUDE, its not like im gonna steal em. I just wanna see before I tell my boyfriend what to order online for me. sheesh =/

And the funny thing is, they had Heatherette on display in a glass case. But i couldnt see some freakin BLUSHES that come out the next day?!

some counters don't like to give a sneak peak of stuff. my manager doesn't offer sneak peaks to people, some just don't get excited enough to give sneak peaks. i offer peaks to loyal customers and people who ask if new stuff comes out. it's an personal thing, that's all.

I'm so excited!! Only 10 hours until I head off to my nearest (alright, the only one in the province) MAC store to purshase these suckers. I'm getting True Romantic, Joyous, Sweetness, Secret Blush, and Shy Beauty. I'm seriously deprived blush-wise, and the glowy aspect of the blushes is right up my highlight-addicted alley!

Julzie · 03-13-2008, 02:29 AM #**271** (**permalink**)

Is Shy Beauty comparable to NARS Luster?

oh yeah, i totally understand, i just thought it was weird that heatherette was out but i couldnt just look at the blushes.

and also he was being a little bit rude about it, it bothered me, like just bc im young doesnt mean im not a serious customer.

I need advice!

I'm in the UK for awhile and I don't want to pay UK prices so I am going to have them shipped to the States. Can anyone recommend shades for me? I'm a N4/NW20 and I am looking for two shades that are varied - one that's a light, rosy color and the other that's more for a darker, bronzier look. Based on the swatches and what I've read, I'm thinking Sweetness and Joyous.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I don't really think joyous would be good for a bronzier look, it's more of just a coral/peach - very pretty still, but I think eversun would be better for this.

dirtyfishydish · 03-13-2008, 11:46 AM #**275** (**permalink**)

Could someone recommend either Shy Beauty or Joyous for me? I'm NC15, blue eyes and auburn hair. I'm worried that Shy Beauty will be too light , and Joyous will be too dark. I can really only afford one right now.

Thanks!
