Oh man, after seeing Erine's swatches, they totally look like halves of the Sonic Chic blushes were used, like I thought so, when I first read the descriptions.

Moon River = Dainty
Love Rock = Pleasantry
Intenso = Gleeful (which I love btw though

)
Grand Duo = Gentle?? (I don't own this color)

And any of the browns could be like Love Joy or similar enough to not make purchasing one worth it if you have Love Joy already.

That's what I pointed out earlier too, but I doubt moon river is anything like dainty. They don't even look close to me in the pics. I guess we'll see when they come out.

It's so hard to choose which collection to skip. From this collection, I only want Grand Duo and Hot Planet blushes but I might end up getting just one blush and the 188 Small Duo Fibre brush.

I just bought the 188, on your recommendation. And while I was there I picked up Moss Scape p/p (because now I have finally tried p/p's and I wanted to get this before it was totally DC'ed from the site) and the 239 brush because the reviews sounded really good. Ugh. My THIRD order this month.

But I do really need some quality brushes and I want all the paint pots I can get so.... I guess it was worth it so THANK YOU!

Well, I do think the 188 and the 139 are both really good investments. I've had my 139 for several years and it's still like new. And I use my 188 most days because my favourite blushes are the brighter or darker blushes, so I rely on the 188 a lot! I won't recommend any other brushes for now!

^ I can't wait to try it with my Pink Swoon. I love the color but it takes soooo much work to make it look good on me. Otherwise its so bright. So if I can make PS work, then I'll definately be getting Love Rock.
