I had no problems with either blush either. I have a bunch of blush brushes and they all work fine. Ocean City is more unique--I don't have anything like it and I don't think I'll find anything like it. The are both finely, FINELY milled. They just meld to my skin and have the prettiest sheen. For the record, I wear a moisturizing foundation (IT CC+ cream) these days (moisturized skin really seems to bring out the glow in my powder products). I love, love, love these blushes. Another big surpass is my love of Primrose--really pretty sheer deep color and very unusual.Okay, I've had some time to play with the blushes. In my experience, they both work fine with a brush (a good brush..I used the 168). Of the two, Sunset Beach seems stiffer. I didn't have to scrape anything for swatching or application. Ocean City is
. I am so glad that MAC fixed the mistake, because I like it way more than Sunset Beach, though it IS pretty.

Totally agree. Moisturized skin is the key to a beautiful glowy skin.

As i've said, i don't swirl my ombré blushes. I like to take advantage of the color differences. I confess so far i've only worn Ocean City, the orange one. It seems fine and smooth to me. I use the light part on top of my cheek bones and the full color on and just under my cheek bones. And i blend them where they meet.
I still need to test run Sunset Beach. It looks so intense in the pan, but i have several brushes that should work - the NARS Yachiyo, for example - to make sure it goes on lightly.
I stayed strong and did NOT get Pink Fringe. I'm on Team Low Buy and trying to limit myself to colors i don't already have relatives of. I need to wear Woodrose again. It looked slightly peachy to me, which was a disappointment, but maybe it was just a trick of the light. My lips are naturally a little blueish and I was soooo hoping it would look grey-pink on me.

BeautifulI'm wearing Ocean City blush here and it's absolutely a gorgeous shade without being overly orange and shimmery. For reference I believe I'm about an NC50. Excuse the weird selfie lol

I STILL think Be Fabulous Mineralize l/s is better - just a better texture and a tad more wearable shade too. I'm more into Sweet Experience too. Woodrose, on the other hand - LOVE.Thank you! I wore it again today and I like it a little bit more today than I did yesterday, which is good. Not totally wasted.
I think it looks lovely on you. It's not a very unusual color, especially with all the similar pinks MAC brought out this year, on top of the perm pinks, but can't deny that fabulous packaging!

It's not too heavy on the grey. It's one of those colors that appear cool, but are actually for warmer people overall. I'm not surprised it ran a little peach on you. Do you have Hip & Happy lip pencil? I get super results using that one with all my lipsticks that run a little too brown, that I want to look pinker and cooler on me.
I do have Hip ‘n’ Happy. I'll give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion!

I will be collecting my order from Selfridges (UK) after work today sooooo excited. I ordered both blushes and Mangrove, I really hope I don't have the same problem as a lot of other people have mentioned when using the blushes.
