Tx for reminding me Iyse about Pink Cult. Maybe instead of LoveCloud I should get that one. I need to google some swatches.

Oh my goodness :O!
I'm really on the fence about both Pink Tea and Lovecloud... As much as I would like to own them all, I think I'm really going to have to pick one or the other! Modern Mandarin is beautiful but I'm still really in love with Optimistic Orange from S3/C3 that I don't think I need another orange so soon! Besides, Sephora's Pantone collection is out now, I think, and if I get more orange, I think I'll be on a Tangerine Tango overload xD

Ahh that's good to know. I knew MM was a definite no, but I was holding out hope for IM. The only orange blush I can tolerate is OO and that's when used with a very very light hand and mixed with Stunner or Subtle Breeze
My list keeps getting smaller and smaller! Score! I'm still on the fence with Lovecloud and Pink Tea, then. I know Pink Cult from Reel Sexy is a for-sure because it's matte and therefore is unlike anything I currently own. Just not sure how the other two pinky blushes in this collection compare. I'm almost throwing Full of Joy off my list because I own Coygirl and Vintage Grape, not sure how much more purple blush I can handle, since I don't often reach for them.

Trés Cheek: Hits: Modern Mandarin: This one is lovely. On my skin, it reminded me a lot of a powder version of Optimistic Orange. On lighter skin, it was definitely more red-orange. It's kind of reflective, so a sheer layer of it looked a tad ashy on me. I had to layer it on before I liked the color. Peony Petal: Love! lol It's a very bright blue-pink, but it's so fun & vibrant. Can't wait to pick it up. I wonder how it compares to Azalea. Lovecloud: It's a more peachy-pinky shade. It's quite pretty and girly. I liked it, but at first glance it wasn't a must-have. I'm sure I'll change my mind when I see it again lol Misses: Full of Joy: ... lawd.... frosty, reflective, greyish.... everything I don't want in a blush. BUT a friend tried it on (NC20), and it looked beautiful and so unique on her. It's like Budding Love in a blush form... it's soft & kind of pinky-purpley. Pink Tea: Okay, I didn't try this one on... but it looked boring (for me!), and I could already tell it'd be ashy, so I didn't waste precious swatching time. Immortal Flower: It's a beautiful, soft shade, but it wasn't pigmented enough to look good on me. I think NC/NW42 and lower will like this one. If you liked Fresh Honey, you'll probably like Immortal Flower.

After much thinking and oohing and ahhing...I am still on the fence. On the one hand, I have so many blushes I could never use them in a lifetime (I wear makeup about once a week....yeah....:lecture. On the other, I have a feeling this may be unique. In addition to SR/RS and the Extra Dimension, I have been lemming some mac pro and Glitter and Ice MES (they are still on Canadian MAC) so I maybe on team 2 or 3 for this!

Ya- I'm wondering about this as well. I'm NC20 and hope that Pink Tea will just be a really (build able) wash-- not something that will make my face look like I just stuck my face in baby powder!

If you are NC20, it certainly won't look ashy.

No, not at all! It will look great on fair skin. On my NW45/47 skin, not so much lol it has good colour to it, but it's just too light for my skintone. I'm sure it will be a big seller, like all the rest
