I'm having a hard time finding a swatch for Ethereal Glow and Luminous Flush, though. Has anyone seen swatches of those?
I don't know about swatches for those two colors, but I just got my first of these blushes today!  I got the poppy colored one (Diffused Heat),and it is SO pretty.  I'll see if I can get some swatches posted tomorrow.

Oh please do!! From the looks of it our skin color/tones are SO similar, so I'm especially excited /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It'll probably be in the late morning by noon, but I'll be sure to post some swatches for sure if I can't get to it in the morning.

I really like this blush.  It is very sheer, yet pigmented, if that makes any sense?  Just enough glow to it for the "ambient" effect, but not shimmery like other blushes.

After I posted earlier I saw the link to Temptalia's page with swatches.  She swatched the same color I bought, but they look way different between our skin tones, and I strongly believe she puts much more on than I do as well (on everything, not just this).

I also bought the new bite beauty matte lip crayon, in blood orange, last weekend.  LOVE!  I'll post swatches of that too.

Interestingly, I was JUST reading this thread, which deems Temptalia's swatches "notoriously unreliable," even for those with her skin tone. It doesn't surprise me at all that they look different on you, but I wonder if other MUT members have noticed this?

Oh, today only the Radiant Magenta is available. 

I had the Dim Infusion in & out of my cart while it was in stock, but never got it.  I just wish I could see them in person before spending $35 on one.

Yesterday I received my Sephora order with the Elizabeth and James promo. I was expecting to love Nirvana Black but it turns out I'm not a big fan of either of them! This was a surprise to me since I am a fragrance fiend. Today I'll try laying them and see how I like that combo. Nirvana White smells just like another fragrance but I just can't place what it is. Oh and none of my samples were substituted, even the glam glow eye sample came. I also got an envelope with some fragrance post cards in it too:

 

[SOSRedAlertSOS]

I used the glamglow for eyes today and it did absolutely NOTHING! This is why I love samples because I would have been seriously bummed out if I had paid full price for a set.

 

[nerdi]

viceswap is coming up expired for me.

not sure if these are posted but just in case:

SMOOTHER - clinique repairwear laser focus sample

GENDREAM - lancome foil samples

i think the top notes of nirvana white smells just like Chloe See, bottom notes are very different to me though

I do like the effect of mixing the two (Nirvana Gray). On me, it mellows both fragrances out a little bit. I would be totally psyched if they came out with a double-ended rollerball, but I don't think I'll be buying the full sizes unless I've become totally enthralled by the end of the samples. Does anyone know if the the rollers are plastic or metal? Plastic rollerballs are one of my pet peeves.

I got the rollerball in gratis this month, it's plastic... at least the one I got :/

When I walked by Sephora at ass o'clock in the morning on my way to work today, I noticed that they were getting ready to put up E&J posters in the window. I might have to pop down there during lunch today to see if they're doing anything special.

Thank you! From this, I think I'm liking the Poppy! Ethereal is just a little TOO baby pink for me. Radiant Magenta is gorgeous too, but I feel like it's probably too pigmented and will be "too much" for my super fair skin. 

 

[normajean2008]

Ok, here are some swatches of the Hourglass Ambient Blush-- Diffused Heat.  For reference, I'm a medium skintone (Beige 30-Chanel, Punjab-Nars), and I have yellow complexion.

I also swatched some similar colors on my hand, they are as follows:  Nearest stripe to my knuckles=Nars Exhibit A, Middle-bottom=Dolce and Gabbana Rosebud, Top-middle=Ambient blush, Nearest wrist=Tarte cheek stain Blissful.

Took a close up of the pan, and also so you can see the sparkle in it.  The sparkles are only on the pigment, not the ambient powder part, and they don't show up as glittery on the face.

I really like this blush.  You can wear it very subtle, or build it up for bright color if wanted.  I wear mine usually middle of the road--like in the picture.  This reminds me of a softer, more wearable version of Nars Exhibit A.  It is very similar to Dolce's Rosebud, but has the ambient powder sheen to it, and is just the slightest bit more coral vs. orange.  Blissful is much darker.

And on that note, I'm off to work!  Check back in later tonight.  Hope you all have a great rest of the day!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You look gorgeous!

I really want one of these blushes now.

Gorgeous!! I love this color on you...I have similar undertones, but I'm more fair (NARS Fiji) and now I really want to check this one out, great find! I've been enjoying the Luminous Flush blush since it arrived on Tuesday...very satisfied with this purchase and want more!

I found it a little scary watching the video above at the variation in the amount of veining in the blushes, makes me definitely not want to order these online, but check them out in the store to make sure you get a "good one"...I've done this with the MAC mineralized skinfinish powders also.

 

[normajean2008]

Thank you ladies for the compliments, and I hope the swatches help some.

Also, I said earlier I bought the new bite beauty matte lip crayon the other day.  For those that like soft matte lippies, these are fun and pretty comfortable.  They don't last through meals really, but they are easy enough to quickly swipe a bit more on.  I find that a good layer of chapstick rubbed into lips, and excess wiped away after a few seconds provides the best canvas for these crayons.  Other than eating wearing it off, I find it stays on for several hours at a time with no touch ups needed.

There are only 6 colors, a grape purple, coral red, coral orange, Barbie pink, neon pink, and a medium pink.  The coral red is "Blood Orange", which is what I ended up buying.  After swatching the coral orange (Clementine), and Blood Orange, I figured if I'm going to go for it, I might as well pick the brighter of the two.  It is only marginally brighter though.

It was too busy to swatch all the colors on my hand in the store, but here is a picture of Blood Orange applied.
