Do you like other cool pink blushes? I like SA as a blush, but i'm a lot lighter than you, so i'm not sure if it would show up as a blush or highlight on you.
FF shows up as a blush, but I know that one is darker. But I do like the overall sheen that it gives and I suppose I'd get at least that from SA even if it doesn't work as a blush. Just still debating since it seems such a cool toned pink...
All this talk of the Vera powders has made me dig mine out from the depths of my blush drawer, I will have to use it again tomorrow!
could u tell me why do u like them?
I don't have SA Pearlmatte, but I'm thinking of getting it. I do have FF and I LOVE it... Because it's such a multi-tasking product for me. I travel a lot for work, so it's great to find products like that! The main color works as a blush on me (I use the 109). The outer rim I use as a highlight (I use the edge of the 109 to grab it), and then I can swirl all the colors together (with a 188 or 187) to dust the product all over my face for the most beautiful sheen on the skin. HTH! I think either shade would work for your light skintone. SA is still available on the MAC website.
You're reallly making me want my FF (still available on the Canadian site) to come RIGHT NOW!!!

It sounds great - I'm so glad that I ordered it.
What is hilarious to me is that a site noob can wander in, ask a question about a product everyone else is over, and trigger another buying frenzy.I'm glad to know I'm not alone!
Both these face powders were my favorite face products of the year. Even better than Glorify or WoG from Extra Dimension. Even lovelier than any of the Tres Cheek blushes. So glad my fellow speckraettes talked me into trying these. I was going to skip because I thought they looked gimmicky. If anyone is on the fence, I'd say get them both.You are going toIT!!! Enjoy!
I am pretty pale, so I can't speak to the WOC feeling that way, but I can say the texture is LIKE BUTTER. I think that the FF could work for a highlighter or blush on WOC. I cannot see these going ashy, no way. Take the texture of the Tres Cheek blush and make it smoother, buttery, more subtle glowing. Have I praised them enough? Words do not justify them...
I think she is close to your shade http://www.mochamishmash.com/2012/02/mac-vera-collection-haul.html I did swatch them in store but wasn't really in the mood to pay for them. If and when they hit a CCO I might buy Sunday Afternoon. Oh I believe both are available still on Nordstrom's site.
I see.... if i travel id rather get a trio or something. I hate having to pick parts. the lazy part of me...
After seeing her swatches, I feel like you. LOL
I'm so happy that you love FF! I bought it months ago, but sadly it's been ignored due to all the amazing blushes MAC has been releasing. You're encouraging me to give it some love this weekend.I received Flower Fantasy today - it's lovely. Not too shimmery, just a healthy glow. I haven't been able to try it as blush because I lack the motivation to remove what I'm wearing and start again, but I'll try it on a foundation base the next time. It was a much better choice for me than Crew, and I can't imagine needing many of this kind of product anyway. Thank you, ladies!
Edit: I couldn't help myself. I took everything off and started again. I can't tell you how much I love this product. It's sheer, natural and definitely a blush for me. I love love love it. It is - by far - my favourite face product. I think it's my Stereo Rose. If this is what face powders are like, I won't be buying many more blushes. I've bought plenty over the last few months. I need more of this kind of product.
As of WOC if I were to get one I'd probably get Flower Fantasy. I see Sunday Afternoon is still on MAC's USA site.
