WOC - Grand Duos

[makeuplover7239]

I got Light over Dark and Earth to Earth. I didnt really like earth to earth since it didnt do much other than look like a pseudo highlighter. So I exchanged it for Hot Planet, which wasnt there when I first got the blushes.

I love love Hot Planet!! And I got them for 21 bucks too at Macy's on the first day it came out

.I'm NC 50 in the satinfinish

Same thing happened to me! Went in to mac to get some studio fix, came out with the studio fix and my new lover, intenso

I can't wait for the summer because i know with sexy wet curly summer hair and summerish make up, glowy cheeks will look fab.

Is it similar to Merrily on your skin? How did you like the other colors?

On me, NC40, Merrily and Intenso (tested at the store) were very similar -- Merrily is a teensy bit more "red" while Intenso was a teensy bit more "deep red rose".

Okay folks, I just have to say that NARS' Taos is way more intense than Intenso (depending on how you apply it, it can also be worn subtly), plus NARS blushes are the business. Just throwing that out there.

I agree -- I swatched them both in the store and I loved Taos sooo much better.

Unfortunately, I can't wear NARS blushes...so sad. They break me out.

It took me 10 blushes from NARS to realize this and I had to get rid of all of them.

I still think NARS blushes are the best too (if you can wear them).

But I do love MAC's MSFs!

I have both merrily and intenso and i think they are very similar. Merrily is just a tad bit deeper but very close in color IMO.

I will suggest Intenso, it so so gorgeous on the skin!

I must agree with all the intenso lovers! It's sooo sexy. Its a subtle bright blush (if that makes sense) and i really like my light over dark, multi-purpose as a bronzer, highlighter and/or blush.

The same thing happened to me. I never even wear blush...then I saw Earth to Earth and I loved it. Someone on an other board reminded me that the solid side looked like Nuance...and so I got it. I love it!

I am on the fence about Intenso...I am thinking it might be too intense for me
