Quote from nerdgirl :
some swatch photos [essiebutton.com] of douceur and exposed. i love pink brown blushes, bc they look very natural but give you a nice flush. another douceur [temptalia.com] review (temptalia - she is medium skin toned but it still shows up on her)

imo luminoso is more like the ebay one than amazon. it does not show up golden on my skin that i can see - more just peachy pink (more peach than pink). search for 'milani luminoso swatch' to find some photos of it swatched. here [bunbunmakeuptips.com] is one that compares it to orgasm.

i may have an extra aglow. if i can find it i'll send it to you. is ur address still the same?

nice! woot hope you like that item!
Thanks a bunch. You Rock! Yes, my address is still the same. Blowkiss

I got a code for 20% off at Tarte, because this would be my first purchase. Is there anything else you all like that I should order with the blush to get FS?

wait! before you order the blush you should really see what type of colors you like on yourself first... they have a bunch of nice ones actually, but it all depends on personal taste. i would hate for you to order a color only to find you don't like it! (also consider getting from somewhere with a good return policy... sephora and ulta are both great and if you dislike the color you can exchange it or return it.

what do you have at home? the thing about blush is, there are sooo many dupes that it's actually pretty easy to duplicate a cheek color... but i also have a bajillion colors. laugh out loud

i thought of a pink i like - cargo bluray blush/highlighter in pink. it's a peachy pink and comes off as a nice flush, and it's pretty light (i'm surprised it shows up on my medium/olive skin).

i can go on and on, but honestly, i have a whole bunch of blushes i don't need. i would feel bad if i made you buy so many high end blushes that you don't need! maybe your DH can go to target and pick up the milani blush for you first...?

I thinking about getting my sister something from VS for her bridal shower. What do you gals think of this. [victoriassecret.com] ? She wears an XL so I didn't want to get her anything tight fitting. She is more of a sweatpants kinda girl, so I don't want to spend much money on it. I guess I'm just getting it for entertainment purposes at the bridal shower.

I agree. Blush is weird. Some looks crazy in the container but pretty on and vice versa.

Those are pretty. They do show a lot of skin though if she ever wants to wear it.

Did I really just read the voice of reason from nerdi? EEK! The sky is fall, the sky is falling. laugh out loud As for what I have here, I have Senna (or Sienna- I'm not sure w/o looking), Clinique, Rock & Republic (which are too bulky to travel with), Smashbox, Stila NYX. Hmm... that's all I can think of off the top of my head. They're pretty much all in the pink family, except for the NYX that I bought for contouring but never used. I'm just not loving any of them at the moment. None of them are the perfect shade. My drawers are full of makeup I've bought, tried once, then stashed away to die a slow death. Obviously, I need to heed your advice. Stick Out Tongue I probably should order from Sephora. Our closest Sephora is in a JCP, but there's one really close in North Miami. I'd wait until I got there to buy it, but I want to experiment. We have a really big standalone Ulta, but they don't seem to have as good of a selection online.

Those are pretty, especially for someone with dark skin. I agree with alvs though. If she doesn't normally wear lingerie, she may like something like this http://www.victoriassecret.com/sa...ueType=OLS better. I have one like this & it's really cute & not so revealing that she would feel uncomfortable.

Me: Confused These packages are not ours.
Fedex Lady: Doh I knew what address these are supposed to go to. But I got so used to delivering in your house. You're the only one I deliver to in this street.

try the milani baked blush i recommended. if all the ones you currently have are pinks, the peach might be what you're looking for. i swatched luminoso and clinique aglow on my arm, and luminoso was sooooo pretty. not sure if you'll like aglow actually - it's pretty nude and doesn't show up that well (but i don't have fair skin).
