Well I'm happy that I was able to order Ocean City without any issues, but now I'm thinking I want to pick up Sunset Beach as well. To be completely honest though, I know they won't get a lot of use because I can't depot them and put them in my palettes. For some reason I keep buying blushes that are irregular shapes or sizes when I know they are just going sit around and collect dust after my initial love affair.

I think I have buyers remorse already lol I'm not entirely sure if I'll be able to pull off either of the blushes but I'm hoping they're less intimidating in person. At first I was hesitant about Ocean city but now I'm thinking Sunset beach may be too vibrant . I wear N1 in face and body. I also wear NC15 in studio fix , NW 15 is far too pink for me. My eyes are blue/green/grey, my lips are quite pigmented and my hair is like a medium brown with reddish/auburn that I'm letting grow out. Do you guys think I can pull of a very pink blush? My favorite blush is tendering and I also have well dressed(so I think you can tell I'm a little nervous about color lol) Thanks in advance for any help :)
Just use a duo fibre brush and a light hand and you'll be fine.

I'm NC 15 and I don't have trouble with these colors as blushes.     Its the reds, browns and burnt oranges I usually stay away from
Thanks for your input! I have no fear when it comes to lip colors or eyeshadow but I think I'm not used to blush. For a long time I wasn't using blush because I had a lot of acne marks on my cheeks & side of my face that I didn't want to accentuate. I can't even imagine myself in a red blush though lol

I ordered Sunset Beach from Nordies! I almost got OC too, but I restrained myself and reasoned I'd use the pink one way more.
Sooooo these blushes are already going for 150.00 for the two of them on evilbay.....um WTF
That's lame - what kind of loser makes money scalping cosmetics. I can understand selling for a small profit to recover your costs or a slight mark up, but that's going too far. I resorted to evilbay to buy a few of Moxie l/s as I had no idea the By Request collection had come out and totally missed it. I didn't pay much more than local prices, but never again on principle.

I have a Smashbox blush brush (standard size for blush) & I also have a Lancôme blush brush (the one that's dual ended with one side for highlighter) neither of them impress me but I make due. I'd really like a new blush brush but I haven't been able to decide on one. Which do you recommend?
i'm NC15 and the only brush i can use with high pigment blushes is the real techniques blush brush. it's so easy to use and not look like a clown LOL.

you can wear any color you want, you just have to go super light and build it up slowly :)

Well if you want to save money. i have been loving the Real Techniques Blush Brush. its Very Fluffy. i use it with the pigmented blushes that i have. i luv it with the briar rose bp which is very cool tone and pink. im warm tone.   if you want something more expensive the Nars yachiyo brush is very Good! i have it but for now im loving the RT ones.
