.....this is a super pretty combo.

I am sure that is looks very beautiful on you Pinkdollface!

I got Blonde, Redhead and Subtle Breeze today. I'm wearing SB with Blonde on top as a blush and it's lovely.

I'm pretty bummed that I missed out on Beach Sand. I'm gonna check the sale thread to see if I can find one

 

[Pinkdollface]

Thanks! I love the blushes and msf's in this collection and i feel like they look very pretty on everyone.

 

[MACina]

Yes,the blushes are awesome!Such a lovely texture....it is really a pleasure to use them!
I got BUs of Blonde and Redhead.Especially Blonde is one of my favourite MSFs.

Subtle Breeze may surpass Pet Me as my fave MB.

If I am a pale cool toned person NW15-20, would this blush be too orange for me to purchase? i have heard so many people raving about it, but don't know how i would pull it off? thanks

fresh honey has been my go to blush all week! i love how i can sheer it out or make it more noticebale... and i was scared of the orange! i'm certainly not anymore!

This is a comparison between A perfect day and Honeylove... I think they are quite similar!!



I have more pics and review on my blog!


Fresh honey

 

[lmcmullen]

I just got Fresh Honey yesterday. I like it, it doesn't look clownish on me at all, very natural.

I think it would work better on paler complexions than mine (I'm about NC25), since because of my skin tone I lose a bit of the contrast between the cheeks and the rest of my face.

I might use a slightly lighter foundation next time (I have 2 colors going at once) and see how that goes.

One thing I noticed is that it brought out the blue in my muddy dark blue-gray-green eyes, sort of like an orange or peach eyeshadow would (but without making me look like I have pinkeye like those do LOL).

I don't want to promise that it will work on you but I am NW15-20 and I was completely shocked by how great it looked on my cheeks. I had ZERO interest in this blush because it looked so yellow-orange and even when I swatched it on my wrist it still looked too orange, but somehow on my face it looks nice and peachy....somewhere between a bronzer and a blush, and it made me look healthier than I have in quite sometime. I think it is worth a shot and if it doesn't work out for you perhaps you can swap it? Hell, I might even want a back up so let me know if you get it and it doesn't work out! LOL.

BTW for application I have been using the 168 (contouring brush) and I am liking the way it applies, but also the 131 would be great.

Hope that helps!

I think it does wonders for pale NW complexions, especially if you have some redness in your cheeks. The orange-ness is absorbed by any red and/or pink undertones and turns FH in a beautiful peachy color. I use a cool-toned contour to balance the color out. Love it! And it's a great preparation for Modern Mandarin!

PS: I second the 131 for this particular blush!

 

[PixieDancer]

Ugh! I hate that I don't have this brush!
Wonder if it will ever be repromoted?!

 

[PixieDancer]

Just did a search for a dupe of the 131.
One site recommends Hakuhodo G545 brush. It looks VERY similar. Anyone tried these brushes? Thoughts?

I also saw someone compare the Sigma F15, but it looks flater and wider... so if it has a completely different density and shape I can't see how it's a dupe... But I do have a set of Sigma brushes that I like. But I'm on a search now for something like the 131...

 

[Mac-Guy]

I'm sure it will be repromoted at some point. Hang in there.

 

[Copperhead]

Nevermind. You said brush but I read blush.

All these new orange products do wonders for blue eyes. Same goes for orange lippies.

 

[HoneyMilk]

For, me, I disagree. The orange really competes with my sometimes neon blue eye color... Kind of like wearing a bold eye with a bold lip. Maybe dark blue eyes or gray blue eyes.....

131 is a great brush for more pigmented blushes (and creme blushes). I've been thinking of getting a fan brush. Does anyone know if the PRO fan brush is still available?

 

[Mac-Guy]

The 184 is d/c on Pro, but I'd try finding it on ebay.

 

[MACina]

I do not know where in Europe your are based but you might try to call a Pro Store and ask if they still have one in stock.
As far as I know it was still available at the Pro Store in Cologne/Germany not long ago.

Or,as Mac-Guy said,try it on ebay.
I got mine there too!

Another NW15ish saying try the Fresh Honey. It is surprisingly wearable on pale complexions (as was Early Morning--at first I was like, wait, this is going back! but glad I took the plunge). The texture, is LIKE BUTTER.

I would say there is justification for getting A Perfect Day even if you have HoneyLove (if you like the color) because the finish is different. I prefer the APD finish over the Lustre finish of HoneyLove. APD is a creamsheen IIRC...

OOOh, I just had the idea of layering HoneyLove over APD!
