I can imgaine it's beautiful for WOC, because of the great colour payoff, which is even better than BOA IMHO.Wow. My Paradise is really orange. It would look great with Hibiscus, eh? As a WOC, I almost feel compelled to buy it.

Oh crap, imma just go ahead and add My Paradise Blush to my list!
[/quote] Me, too. :lmao: Oh, Lord. Why not? I was only planning on Hibiscus Lipstick, Gilded White Liner, and the Crushed Metals. The price of the Crushed Metals+My Paradise is gonna hurt, but...

[/quote] I love BOA, but it doesn't have top pigmentation, IMO. I have to work a little harder than I'm used to. Maybe Nars blushes have spoiled me. It's good to know that MP has better payoff.

I like this color but I prefer tangerine orange like Taj Mahal by Nars that I have to buy!! ( It's almost a year I want to buy it but I can purchase it only online ... but in june I'll be in Barcellona and hope to take it there! )
Back on topic: I'm afraid I like this blush uuffff why is it so big? I wanted a coral to depot and put in my blush palette

[/quote] I own Taj Mahal. At first, I thought MP would be too similar, but it's really not from what I can see. Taj Mahal is tangerine, like you said and it's loaded with shimmer(not glitter). See, I just justified wanting MP.

Oh gosh now its on my never ending list of things I want from the perm collection! *sigh*
LOL, I really want ALL of the Sheertone Shimmer blushes, because I like that finish so much, they're my favorite blushes. I have Springsheen and Plum Foolery so far. I prefer Springsheen over NARS Orgasm any time.
i have those two blushes also and love them!

Thanks for the swatches ladies! I quite like Short Shorts (it does look like Albatross), although it's not the most unique colour. Looks like it would be a nice, slightly warm highlight colour. I don't know if I really need that, but seems like it might be a good one to have. I think it looks nicer than the one in Fashion Flower. My Paradise is lovely, but I'm still not convinced I need it. The main thing I have to say that I learned from the swatches is that I think I really want Springsheen... I may well cave on the blush, but we'll see once I've had the chance to try it on.
PS- Thanks for the comments on my profile pic! Since I managed to score Partylicious from a lovely lady here, I had some fun playing with it and some mega metal shadows... I need bright colours to remind me that warmer weather is coming. Full description here if you want the details: http://morelikespace.blogspot.com/2011/04/making-faces-in-living-colour.html#more )

After seeing this latest swatch. I'm totally getting MP blush, no more hesitations. To me its unique enough to haul. I don't have Taj Mahal, and don't want it because of the glitterati.
MP looks more orange than any other coral blush I have. PLUS it looks like it has a subtle sheen/shimmer in there, beneath the overspray. It doesn't look too much like anything from NARS that I have. Gilda is lighter and is flat, no sheen. I like MP and once i take the overspray off, i'll like it even more.

[/quote] Aww. Don't be afraid of Taj Mahal. It's gorg. It doesn't have that chunky glitter like Angelika. Try it on, if you can.

I just found out about taj mahal, and I loved the way the MUA put it on me, but it is so intense I'm not sure I can sheer it out at home. BUT, I tried it on again Thursday, and had two pretty matching pimples on my cheeks. I have heard of others breaking out from Nars blush, but I was hoping it wasn't me. Maybe I'm just extra sensitive right now.
I'll get this if it is like Taj, without the glitter. I just loved the way that orangey color brightened my face.
