Funniest thing, I had just could not resist sharing......
It is nurses' week and we are having a week-end long celebration with lots of fun, food and festivities at my facility.
My mgr came by bearing a few gifts and tokens of appreciation including a certificate for me
This year they gave out some cool pens in a bronze box......pretty much the exact color and packaging look as Temperature Rising
I took one look and couldn't stop laughing and everyone was looking at me real weird and funny.
I was thinking about the coincidence of their theme and a pretty Mac item actually being enclosed in the box
BTW, I was voted by my peers and support staff for the Nurse Excellence Award in my department for the first time this year
Happy Nurses' Week to all the caregivers, support staff, health-care industry workers, everyone!!!!

I think actually this year I'm going to go much lighter on the Mineralize collection than usual, in favor of more from this one. Usually I want every lipstick and cremesheen in the Mineralize collection and this year there are repromotes I have or just colors I've got plenty of other options for. The MES are going to be very similar to MES I already have, though I might get pulled in if they're yet another improved formula. I'll probably mostly buy MBs this time, is my guess.

Usually I'm restrained with the standard summer collection and all out on the Mineralize one, but yep….not this year.

GOOD NEWS: I get to go check out the collection Friday, so I'll make sure to blab on and on about it!!!

oh i was probably just feeling unwell yesterday. :)

i don't know what i was thinking.

and seeing the swatches of the nail polishes and lipsticks made me go googly-eyed.

one question i have about ripe for love -- is it similar to peaches in any way at all? in corally's photo it looked very bright in that same kind of way....

looking forward to your review, liba!

I have all the highlighted ones and RFL is not like any of them. In other words, you probably shouldn't skip it. It's really pretty.

Seriously? Let's be rational. Of COURSE you can skip it. I'm sure you could Frankenblush it with the ones above if you wanted to.

I have the highlighted ones as well as: Melba, Fleet Fast, Early Morning, Light Year, Amber Glow, Flower Fantasy Pearlmatte, Flatter Me Pearlmatte, NARS Deep Throat, Orgasm, Liberte, Torrid, Rotonde, South Beach and Estee Lauder Peach Nuance. Clearly I love peaches and corals because I've already bought a lifetime supply of them. And while I make an effort to rotate through all of my blush, the reality is that my default/preference is to reach for the same five over and over: Deep Throat, Douceur or A Perfect Cheek. Marine Life (new but I absolutely adore it), Launch Away and Warm Soul (summer only). Those shades are my no-brainer, always can be counted on to look great staples.

RFL looks like a gorgeous blush and I'm sure I'd like it. But I prefer a light hand with blush (with most makeup, really) and I find that many of the more subtle differences disappear. I bought Rotonde and it's not much different on me than Liberte; nicer to blend, but I should have passed. I don't think I'm going to keep it. They looked different when swatched more heavily, but that doesn't translate to my cheek. No more blush for me. I won't take a vow on powders, because I am a sucker for those and I know I'll break it at some point.

Definitely skippable for those of us with ridiculously large blush collections. It's always a struggle to not keep buying near identical shades of our favourites, but I know I've gotten to the 'this is just silly' point.

ok ladies. i guess i'm hearing the same thing everywhere....i started to rethink after temptalia said it looked a bit like ripe peach and my paradise. but everyone is saying it's special... and it's probably the most flattering family of blushes on me as well, so i guess that explains the abundance in my collection!!!

WOW! That is a lot of blushes! Now here is a question for all of you out there: If this blush is so very pretty that you shouldn't pass it up even if you have a boodle of peach blushes, then how many backups are you getting?
