Hot Planet and Grand Duo. If you like bronzers, then get Light Over Dark. Love Rock is nice, too. I personally like Earth To Earth (would work well as a neutral 'glowy' blush) as well, but it doesn't seem to be very popular here.
I'm NC35.

For one, Hot Planet is a lot darker than Earth To Earth (solid side similar to Nuance). I'm sure there are lots of pics in the swatch thread.

I will be getting those 3 for sure too!
Which one is your fave?

My little collection blush is: Gentle Hipness (fafi) X-rocks and some no mac blush (fuxia givenchy, coral-brown madina) what gran duos I need?

Because on my finger it was a dirty plum which made me not interested in it. It resembled Flirt n Tease which does not work for me as a cheek color. Pics would greatly be appreciated...geeko? lol |

Wow I feel so bad, I bought 6 out of 7 (I didn't get Light Over Dark) of these suckers lol...I'm NC15 and these all worked out really well for me, some of these are more pigmented than others but I usually use my 187 and kind of lightly twist back and forth between the two colors than put them on. They sooo smooth and glowy looking I just love them
! I have oily skin so I produce my own 'glow' usually put these don't make me look super shiny or anything so I hope this helps someone out lol.

Argh stop it! All you enablers are making me want them all too.
I've already caved in to 3, but who knows, if I permit myself to get one blush per week, and nothing gets sold out at my counter, I may jolly well end up with all 7 (hmm except maybe Intenso).

Erm, Grand Duo? It is pretty, but it's also pigmented, so you gotta be real careful with the application, especially since you're fair skinned.
It depends on what sort of blush colors you want to add to your collection too.

Alright, you have all convinced me that I need to have one (or a few
) of these in my collection. I don't own any actual blushes
but I do own a few MSFs. I am an NC20 with dark brown hair and blue eyes. I have been told by more than one MA that my skin is not really cool or warm but more like a porcelain color. Can any of you lovely ladies or gents give me some suggestions on which colors may work for me? I am open to anything! Thanks

Ok I'm thinking of getting one of these bad boys on Thurs when I go in for my Sugarsweet. So...what would be good for a NC15 who loves Redhead MSF? I don't really want anything exactly like that but i like that sort of color, or even pink but not hot pink (I sold Tippy, never wear Dollymix). I like pale pinks like pink swoon or well-dressed. Is Moonriver wayyy pale, like won't show up on me pale? Actually, I should know seeing as though I did take swatches LOL. But I just don't know if it will make a difference on my face, esp. since I'm getting Perfect Topping from sugarsweet.
Thanks for your help, ladies!

Oh no Tish! That's what I was afraid of! I am going to have to pick up a few on Thursday when I get my Sugarsweet order. Luckily, I cut back my list from that so I save a little money...now I can spend it on Grand Duos! Fantastic

I played with my new blushes today and they are everything I hoped they would be. Love Rock I had to apply with a light hand, but it was beautiful. More glowy than shimmery, and this gorgeous pink. Moon River is an amazing highlighter and I could also see myself using it in place of blush if I was going for a minimalistic look. Just beautiful, but a little metallic-looking at first.

If you love the glowy look of Redhead, then I think Earth To Earth would be a good choice. And if you like pale pinks, then Moon River would be great!

I shall remember this mantra from now on.
So technically, there is no enabling here, just lots of caring.
Good that you are stopping at 3... I may just get sucked into buying all of them.
