Oops, I've been digging my 129 into the blush then tapping and swirling onto my cheeks... duly noted to just use one side!

Oooh, I totally forgot about that post! There's been so many swatches and pictures to keep track of. Thanks for posting it again. Merrily is less red than I thought it'd be which makes it unfortunate for us wanting a red blush but well, it'll be a good replacement for what I thought Gentle would be!

thats almost 10 uses per blush! and once i add these bad boys...oh no! since they can't be depotted, i hope they won't be tossed in a drawer and long forgotten. i always go straight for my blush palettes.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Sonic Chic Discussion

The swatches of Pleasantry look so pretty! But I'm kind of unsure about it because of it being a blue-pink. I am really pale with strong yellow undertones and I'm afraid of it looking really bad on me. Does anyone know if it will turn out like that based on other blue-pink blushes they own? TIA!!

Re: MAC Cosmetics Sonic Chic Discussion

Does anyone know how much these are going to be? I want at least half of these and need to figure out a way to budget them in.

I'm wondering this too! I know I definitely want Dainty because it's a yellow pink, but with the blue-pinks.. I wonder if it'll work with my yellow undertones as well.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Sonic Chic Discussion

I may be wierd but I find blue-pink blushes actually look better on my pale yellow-undertoned skin than warmer blushes. Can't say the same for lip products, but blushes yes.

I heard on MUA they were going to be $18.50 but I am not sure how true that is. I doubt they would be too much more than that though, maybe $19.50 at most

Haha, we are such color twins! I have Dainty on my hit list, too! Because I' already planning a massive Cult of Cherry haul, I'm trying to limit myself to two blushes, three at the very most.

My list-to-be-analyzed-to-death-to-decided-how-broke-MAC-is-going-to-make-me is:
~Dainty
~Nuance
~Warm Soul
~Gentle
~Pleasantry

The same thing happens with me and lip colors! That's why I am so hesitant about Pleasantry. I'm really hoping that the next few swatches I see of it make it look really *horrible* so I can sleep easy knowing that I don't have it in my little hands. lol

It's so weird, I can pull off cool looks so long as I colour coordinate well but some pink blushes turn on me during the day and actually look peachy by mid-aft! I think it depends on the finish too. I'm hoping these msf blushes will stay more true.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Sonic Chic Discussion

As of now I think it will be Merrily and Pleasantry for me, plus the 181se. I like the looks of Dainty, but it reminds me of both Shy Beauty and Alpha Girl b/p, both of which I already have.

Re: MAC Cosmetics Sonic Chic Discussion

I'm looking at these for exactly what they are, mini-msfs. I won't pass on a single one. I see serious regrets if I do. July is going to be seriously expensive. Dammit.

Oh Jen, WHY did you have to put it that way? Mini MSFs? I am so done. Crap.
