A pale pink blush, s'il vous plait

Post by mlle.gnome » Mon Nov 02, 2009 2:39 am

I am submitting a request for a dupe of Benefit's Thrrrob. Its a true very light pink, doesn't look like it has any orangey bits in it. It does have slight sparkle, but it is less than Stardust, it seems more its just for show and being cute than actually showing up. *Hopefully these photos work*

Here is a small review of it, and another gorgeous pink from Chanel called Narcisse.

I really like Narcisse.

You might want to try a sample of Cherub glow if you haven't done. It's a bit more shimmery than Throb, though it's really finely milled and not chunky, and it definitely meets the pale ice-pink criteria.

That's the color I've been looking for. Karen use to have a blush called "strawberries and champagne." I saw on the swatch page that looked exactly like what I was looking for. I don't know if you saw it.I've been mixing tart light with angel glow to try to come close. I love cherub but I am looking for a little more of that light pink color that you mentioned.

You could mix Ballerina e/s with a bit of Angel or Cherub to get to this color and the slight sparkle. Or Karen could just bring back Cheeky or Strawberries and Champagne :)

The Strawberries and Champagne sounds lovely!!

I could probably do some mixing, but I really don't want to involve myself with mixing blushes, foundations are enough for me.... I like my makeup to be easy and not worry about stocking this and that to make the right color. :mrgreen:

Oh, I can certainly appreciate the prepackaged colors that work nicely. I also like to mess around and dip into the multipurpose-ness of these minerals. I love Ballerina as matte pink shadow, and I also have Angel and Cherub - even a sample will suffice. I try to make do like this while I wait on the perfect stuff to come out of Karen's master witch kitchen :)

Did someone say Strawberries and Champagne? :D

Just want to chime in that hopefully we can get a matte version if this is coming out in the Holiday collection? Im not sure if Strawberries and Champagne was a shimmer or not, so it would be nice to have options of sparkle or none. 8-)

I think Cheeky was the matte version. I'd like something that's about the texture and intensity of Stardust, except in light pink instead of light peachy-pink. Can that be done without making it a shimmer? It's the only one I have from that release, so I really don't know.

OMG... I have the same sentiments as you Rhys! A lighter pink and no shimmer, that would be perfect bc I also like Stardust but don't wear it much because of its shimmer and its a tinch too pigmented on.

reviving this thread as I just saw swatches of Cheeky and Strawberries & Champagne (http://host.silknaturals.com/forum/view ... 67&start=0), and fell in love. Any chance of having them in 2011?? spring collection perhaps?
