For WOC wanting to see OC on a darker skin tone (NC50); I'm in a car shop, so the lighting by no means, is good. Also, I'm not a selfie or picture taker AT ALL so excuse my hands being all up in the view, lol. It looks pretty faded in these pictures, but it's not. Pigmentation is good. I actually overdid it and had to wipe some off, lol. I also really like being able to control the nuance or shade of the blush depending on how I mix the ombre gradient. I'm satisfied. :)
So gorgeous! Your skin is beautiful. :)
Mangrove is surprisingly beautiful in all the pics I've seen. I may cave and atleast pick up one lipstick All of you ladies look beautiful, thanks for your swatches and I'm sorry to hear about the whole fiasco!
It is and it will look fabulous on you my lady! ;)
Damn, Temptalia just gave OC an F. I think that's a bit extremee
Really?? I don't see it being an F at all... Well, to me that is..

Well my order is still on track to arrive tomorrow. I've already accepted the fact that it's going to end up being SB instead of the OC I ordered. I know a few people here are thinking of heading to their local stores/counters first thing in the morning to get the blush they really wanted, but has anyone heard if any stores actually got these in stock yet? I only remember seeing that people heard from their fave MAs or inside sources that many (if not all) counters haven't received the blushes yet. I would hate for there to be yet another fiasco stacked on top of this one with people rushing to counters to get the blush they really wanted only to discover the counters did not even receive a shipment of the blushes yet. Not saying people shouldn't try, but just throwing that out there as a cautionary reminder.

As for me, in light of this disaster, I ordered Clinique's Peach Pop blush yesterday from Sephora. If I'm not going to get my OC, I'm going to get another orangey/peachy color I've had my eye on, damn it! And although I do adore the look of OC, I am not going to drive myself crazy hunting it down. I chose to order it online rather than going to the store because it was convenient and easy (ha!). So if they sent me the wrong one, which I'm sure they did, then they can either send me the right one or give me my money back. No use crying over a blush from a company who keeps proving more and more that they can't keep their act together. So turned off by MAC right now.

I forgot to say that my Woodrose broke off while applying it yesterday.. I see ForeverJenn noticed some wiggling with hers. I went to apply and it just fell off...lol. Funny but not funny..

My MA told me they have a combined total of 5 blushes all together! I said 5? So, maybe some aren't getting any and some may have a limited supply.. Sigh...

Agreed also. I haven't tried it on the face, but there were NO issues swatching. Color showed up fine. (NC50 here).

ETA: This is in regards to Sunset Beach. (OC is fine as well.)

I'm wondering if there are quality control issues. Some ladies here have said it isn't very pigmented for them and others say it has a lot of pigmentation. Who knows though. I haven't read her review yet I'll go do that.
When I swatched the Sunset Beach that I received it hardly showed up and I had to really rub my fingers across it to get any color payoff. Late last night I decided to see how it applied and my brush picked up plenty of product. I almost ended up having too much blush on one side because I wasn't expecting it to show up so well.

Same here. Mine is not dry at all & is pigmented.

I also just swatched OC next to Ripe Peach & RP is lighter. OC has more tangerine base. I also noticed that mine seem to have more of the deeper color & a lesser amount of the lightest shade.

my box says ocean city and ocean city is in the box. my packing slip says sunset beach.
Mine too but vice versa.

Here is a couple of pics taken indoors with no flash of Mangrove (no liner) and Ocean City. The blush is not working so much for me but I am liking the orange lips (Go Giants!!) (oh, FYI, I am NC20 during summer and NC15 during winter)





Better lighting (window light, no flash)
