^^ I got Blooming today too and also love it...but I did not order a second!
Thanks for the tip on She-Gold. I'm not sure I would have thought to try that!

Yes, I'm amazed at how good this blush looks on. I can't wait for cooler weather to get here so I can flaunt those pale flushed cheeks. I'm really thinking about getting another Blooming. I don't normally love MAC blushes as much as my NARS and Chanel JC blushes, but this goes directly to the top of my top five blushes ever list.
I also was going to mention that even though Chock-ful is brown, it has strong plummy undertones to it, which is what makes it so wearable. I swatched both Chock-ful and Bing at my counter yesterday and ended up walking away with only Chock-ful. Also picked up Nightmoth lip liner as well, since I don't have any dark lip liners. Gah! I've picked up so much more than I intended from this collection. I just adore the CoC!

After the BPB & Mineral Blushes, I did not think that MAC could possibly make another blush color that I would fall in love with - they did! This color would be so sweet & perfect for any bride. |

Ladyvirtuous - all 3 of those lip looks are amazing on you! Thank you for posting!
I received Kirsch and Rapturous in one of my online orders yesterday - Rapturous is stunning and I love it, love it. Kirsch kind of freaked me out when I put it on - my lips have very little pigment so I looked goth! But I blotted and I started to feel the vibe.
Can't wait to get the rest of my CoC lippies!

hello,
I hope this has not been asked before
How does the Blooming Blush compare to the Angel Blush (d/c), is Blooming very peachy / greyish? There were some great swatches but it didn´t look the same in every pic, sometimes just right for me and sometimes too dark / too peach.
And how does Lightly Ripe L/S compare to the Party Mate L/S (or also Sweetie? - I tried the search on Sweetie but seems the previous question by someone else was lost or no one knew it at that point).
Thanks a lot for all comments! =)

Blooming is not peachy or greyish at all. Its a beautiful soft candlelight pink plum/rose.

Elegant, I am SO glad that you love Blooming!
I am wearing it again today, and I agree with SMMY, this is going to be one of my HG's I have a feeling. It looks great with everything I have worn it with, and today, I wore Lightly Ripe (YES, Rbella, I am eating my words. I really like it!) and Cherry Blossom. So pretty! If I keep wearing it as frequently as I have been, I will grab a second one before it's gone!

Hey there ladies!
So how is it that I, lover of nude lips and loving this collection so much?! I now have 3 lipsticks, 3 mattenes, 3 l/g and the 3 quads! Oh, and that Blooming blush as well! I went back today to pick up Museum Bronze pigment and somehow walked out with that and Jampacked. I am holding each and everyone of you responsible for this! I haven't played with much of yet, because I'm just not feeling the rich shades while there's still a bit of summer left. But I did try the Spiced Chocolate palette and was very very happy with it. Also put on Chock-ful today very lightly with Lightly Ripe over it, liked Chock-ful, not sure if I'm crazy about Lightly Ripe though. I'm thinking of exchanging this for Rich & Ripe lipglass.

I am with ya on the nude lip thing. I am still so surprised that I am loving these darker lip colors! I am thinking I want the Tempting and SC quads as well as Plum du Bois blush still and maybe a few more lippies. I don't think I will be satisfied til I have one of everything. And to think, when I first saw the promo pics, I swore up and down I was passing on this entire collection!

I thought I was going to get chock-ful on Saturday, but I passed and got only plum du bois instead. After thinking about it, I decided I really wanted kirsch, so I went to get one tonight and....they were sold out. The SA saw the look on my face and the poor guy started apologizing and apologizing, he could see I was just so disappointed.
The moral of the story? If you think you're going to want it...get it!!!
In related news, plum du bois is VERY VERY PRETTY!

Well now Rbella, don't get too excited. Looking back, I worded that poorly. While I do like Lightly Ripe a bit more than I did at first, and will wear it, when I mentioned picking up a second one, I was talking about the Blooming blush. It wasn't quite clear
Lightly Ripe is pretty though. I am finally seeing the light. It looked a bit different on me today than before, almost a Strawberry pink color. I think the last time I wore it, I was swatching lip stuff, my lips were irritated, and that made the color look different.
I can see why you feel the love though.

On me, they're quite different. Party Mate is definitely pink, and Lightly Ripe is more plummy/berry. Both are pretty. Also, Party Mate is brighter. Get Lightly Ripe!
