been there done that

Today I recieved my CP of Pink Tea blush in pan!!! I'm officially done with Tres Cheek owning all of the blushes!!!

As pretty as Immortal Flower is, It is not really showing up for me.  I was playing with benefits coralista, and I think I like that better.  Were there any better peachy/color blushes out there?

There's that peach + gold MB coming out with Heavenly Creature.... Maybe that'd be a good one? I don't remember if any darker skinned folks thought the Naturally MBs made them look ashy, but I don't recall it.

i thought we were pretty similar in skintone, and i found IF showed up well, albeit it requires layering...LOL!

i dunno if you have access to illamasqua, but dixie is a nice (pigmented) peachy coral....

otherwise, maybe there's a good tarte dupe? i can't recall which tres cheek shades had tarte dupes....

i love pink tea...though i don't think i've worn it often enough because i bought so many blushes the last few months!

every time i wear it i wonder why i don't wear it more often...

For those who have all the 6 blushes, which 3 are must have or do you recomand for NC35?

I want to pick 3 from this collection and from the next collections since it is my birthday this month so I can buy what a I want as a gift for myself loool

Many (if not all) of the TC blushes are sold out, ZoZo; you may have trouble sourcing them. Do you have more neutral or warmer undertones? In our house, the faves are Lovecloud (neutral undertone) and Immortal Flower and Modern Mandarin (warm tone).

 I have natural undertone, I am overseas right now and this collection is launched before 3 dayes so all the blushes are available as I know.I called MAC store and they kept on hold LC, MM, IM and PP, but I want only 3  so will go and see.

i think i'd agree with audreyc's choices...but check em out in store if you can!

I tried on Pink Tea on my bare cheeks and it looked amazing! I'm going to have to try it when I do a look soon with foundation on. I thought it was going to look ashy on me but when I swatched it, it looked so nice and pretty!

 Same here. At first, I was going to skip that blush but somehow my curiosity gets the best of me and gave in to try it.

It doesn't seem to last, and like you said, I have to really layer it.  I'd rather find something similiar that is more pigmented. I took it to sephora to compare, but forgot to look at illmasqua.

You guys are awesome, thanks for all of the recommendations.

Here, here. It's the best! A matte that should show up on everyone.

I tried Pixiedancer's Restores Dazzle/Magenta/Full of Joy combo yesterday.  Really pretty!  But boy is Magenta pigmented.  I used the #131 brush but I still had to blend like crazy.  I have to be careful with Magenta but I loved the look.

Yeah... That Magenta sure is a doozy!  But once you get the application down, this combo is excellent!  Glad you gave it a try!

I skipped Magenta.  I swirled Amazonian Princess on my cheeks the other day and it was almost too magenta, so I cannot even imagine my reaction to the actual magenta blush.  And the WW blushes really were not as pigmented as these newer ones, so it would have been magenta overload.  I don't think I could have handled it.

Given the pigmentation... It will definitely last forever!  But I also have Exhibit A blush from Nars that looks super scarey in the pan, but I have made it work on every person that I have ever tried it on.  Just by using a different brush and a light hand.  But I totally understand if you have a blush already that satisfies that color need in your stash.  I didn't have a true Magenta colored blush, so I was happy to add it to my collection.  I doubt I will ever need another!  HeeHee

Sorry to dredge up an old thread but if anyone missed out on MM I was able to successfully order it from Nordies and it shipped today (along with companions lol) so they actually have it in stock online. I am excited to get it and am glad I got the chance. The website actually has all 6 in stock which is amazing.
