I think I need to stay away too because I'm very tempted to get golden elixir too smh
Get a tester sample then decide!!!! Macy's counter seem to have more stock of everything versus Nordies so while you are deliberating your chances of getting GE may be better later on at a Macy's counter. I had bought it yesterday. My Nordies SA gave me two sample sizes today and I tried it and loved it. I dabbed it on select areas of my face combined with Prep and Prime Natural Radiance prior to applying my foundation. The effect was nice and noticeable. I then used a bit of Double Definition EDSF as well and Hidden Treasure Blush

Do it! Rich Glance stuck to the inner corners of my eye from 8am to even right now! So gorgeous!
I have trouble blending the darker shades but this one is perfection.

I forgot to post comparisons with NARS' Pierre Hardy blushes Top to bottom: hot nights...boys don't cry...Rotonde....RFL
Love the swatches! Definitely helps us out on here :) Also how do you like the texture of these NARS LE blushes compared the regular blushes? I have a ton of NARS blushes from the permanent line... Just curious?

Finally got my goodies. I have found another HG nude! Altered Beige takes it's place next to Restrict! I'll have to bu this up if I can. RFL is everything that everyone has said! First time I put it on I put to much. I was like woh! Def needs a light hand lol Here's me wearing both. At first I put blazing haute, but wanted to try rfl so I lightly put it over it. Love!

They applied chalky when I swatched with my fingers (might apply differently with a brush) but after I blended them a lil they were fine. Smooth to the touch and stayed on until I washed it off almost 3 hrs later. They are extremely pigmented! I will def get one (or both) just not sure which one yet. Dont know if it was mentioned but the gold cubes were not there on the tester so I believe it's just an overspray. Hope this helps!

I think you have to get RG, too. I bought it on impulse when I wasn't really all that struck on it when I swatched it on my wrist, but it's absolutely gorgeous on the eyes. Very happy that I bought Polished Jet as well. Thinking maybe I'll get the other two, even though I already have Eclair from BB. Love them!

I have Boys Don't Cry. You are correct: the gold is just an overspray, and it's gone very quickly, at that. VERY pigmente blush.

I have both. Peaches doesn't have any shimmer, so RFL is a lot glowier. So they look quite different in that sense, but the colour itself is not super different. They have a different effect, if you know what I mean. if you want a more matte or subdued look, Peaches would be useful. I would never back up a blush myself, though, because I have never in my life even hit pan on a blush! By time you do, you will probably be yearning for something else, anyway.

Thanks! Both your 1st & 2nd BU orders are awesome. I hope to have a NP change on Sunday to wear Tropical. Right now I'm first wearing Chanel's Bel Argus. Heck, I still haven't worn everything that I got from the last three collections!
girlhaha.gif
Definitely product overload! So of all that you're ordered form TR, what's your fav item???
Ooh I had a hard time changing out of Bel Argus. I'm on product overload too. Still haven't tried everything but I think Underdressed may be my favorite.

Thank u so much for your honest and very useful reply (and indirectly talking me out of bu..) i hav nvr bu a blush coz ur right dead on abt not hitting pan and new ones coming out.. and i understand wat u mean by rfl being glowier.. Out of curiosity, do u get much use out of peaches Ty! [quote name="Rainbunny" url="/t/182268/mac-temperature-rising-collection-may-2013/4890#post_239666.6"] I have both.

I haven't tried everything yet...still waiting for 2 lippies and a lipglass to come. Actually love the Underdressed Lipglass....Rhythm was a little disappointing (wanted it to be more pigmented) but it's ok over FMP. Love FMP (I'm in that purple lip phase so anything remotely purple/lavender I'm drawn to). Altered Beige is barely there on me...it doesn't look bad but I had to use a little chocolate lip liner to kick it up a notch. TR Quad...have to play around with it a bit to decide if I really like it. Missed out on Bare My Soul. We'll see what I think of the other 2 lippies hopefully tomorrow!

I think Peaches is a pretty good basic peach blush. If you already have quite a few peach blushes, you probably don't need it especially. It was my first peach blush because I only had pinks and roses before, and I think it was a good choice. Now that i have other peach blushes,i don't use it much. You are probably fine with RFL--I would get the next LE blush that catches your eye, personally!
