Is this similar to Cargo Laguna? I'm not sure if you have that blush or not, but it is a bright orange. :)

Is the orange-red color kind of similar to Nars Exhibit A?

My Paradise is absolutely GAWGEOUS!!! If you are looking for this shade without the gold iridescence MAC Peaches blush is a good dupe. It is a very flat color but the same shade w/out the iridescence.

I purchased My Paradise and I absolutely love it. I have fair skin and pink undertones and it looks great. It goes on very sheer-- so don't be worried about it looking super bright. It does indeed feel a bit dusty BUT that is actually perfect for hot humid weather (I live in Miami, FL). The powdery-ness of the blush holds up under any kind of sweat much better-- cream blushes tend to look like shiny beams of light. As a small test I went running on the beach today and decided to wear it to see how it held up. By the end of my run I still had a good amount of product on. I also wore some of the Surf the Ocean pigments and they were pretty much intact. Just for reference: I have normal to slightly oily (in my t-zone) skin.

I picked up surfin usa and my paradise from the collection and Im really glad to see the quality of the products are as they should be...the bounce shadows were SOOO disappointing!

How would you compare the color without the gold overlay to tarte amazonian blush in tipsy? If similar I do not want to waste money on it :/

How does this compare to WW MSF GOLD LARIAT??

I love this cheek powder and I need this cheek powder. lol :)

I actually like the way this looks. I usually only wear pink blushes but this looks very pretty and I would wear it. Just not sure if it would be worth $28 though.

I Love the blush ! Maybe you should put a nude lipstick with this look :S Do you think the blush can fit for black skintones ? Thank you christine <3

Is this similar to stereo rose?

I understand that the overlay is very shimmery, but is the base color completely matte, as it looks so to me?

Thank goodness I already have enough coral/orange blushes in my stash because Im a little on the broke side as of the moment.haha Will only be picking up Hibiscus Lipstick and Krazy Kahuna Lipglass.

What skintone would look best in this... i realy like it but i've never worn blush (i just am naturaly red in the cheeks)

I saw this and called my local mac and pre-ordered!

Too orange for me. Too bad, it looks so pretty with the golden overlay. I wish they had just repromoted Marine Life, more my color type

I'm a very pale girl, NW15 is sometimes too dark, and with the gold overspray I am able to pull this off. However, once the gold is gone, I'm not sure I will be able to wear this, which makes me incredibly sad, as it will just sit and look pretty in my makeup drawers.

I'm actually glad for my wallet's sake that this is so orange - it's a gorgeous color on you, but on my NW-too-pale-for-the-scale skin I think it would look bizarre, especially once the gold disappeared :) Also, just wanted to say I think it's awesome that you chiseled away a bit of the design to see how deep it went. I so appreciate how thorough you are in your reviews!

Ooh, this is so pretty! I'm not usually a MAC person, but they've really been getting me with their blushes lately!

I like the swatch on the left side, the one blended with the gold! It's so pretty!

Lol can't believe how many people compared this to taj mahal (me included!). I don't know if I'd get this now that I've seen swatches. I'm kind of disappointed. Thought it'd be more pinky coral. Boo!

Hi Christine! As always- great job of posting swaches of everything and I really appriciate all of the hardwork that you put into your blog! I was wondering how this blush compares to MAC peaches?

Too orange for me, I'll pass

Uuuuuuuh I want the overspray-less blush, I wonder what the dupe for THAT is @.@

This is pretty I might add this to my list and it sort of reminds me of the Terre Battue of Roland Garros:)

hi Cristine, do you think it look a little bit like nars taj majal? it looks gorgeous on you. thanks again for all your hard work, i don't know how you do it.

Christine, Do you think this without the gold, is similar to Nars Gilda blush?

oh no!!! I wanted this blush so bad!! but I don't think it wil look ver y good on me :'( </3

WANT THIS! WANT THIS! WANT THIS! WANT THIS!

You dug in it! You're my hero! .. Seriously I think it's just great that you do this for this review that tons of people will read to get informed. For example I wanted to purchase a product a while ago, found several reviews, several sponsored, but no one had dug into it even a little to be able to tell if the color was an overlay on a one-color powder or went all through it, making it a blush. And I'm not complaining about that, I just want to say how great I find how thorough you always are with your reviews! xxx

so pretty to look at. I wish it didn't lose the flower design

Hmm... I actually think I'll like this better when I use up the gold. The color underneath is perfect by itself.

I am going to get this for sure. I just hope it won't be sold out really quick... :)

These colors separately are quite reminiscent of NARS TAJ MAHAL (GOLD W/ IT) & NARS EXHIBIT A (W/O GOLD). What do you think Christine?

How Does this compare to Nars taj Mahal? Xoxo

I just wondered if you knew how long this collection was going to 'run' for, as it were.... If an item sells out are MAC likely to replace it or is it gone?

Looks very similar to pan tao by sleek

Thanks for the wonderful review! I think I'm going to skip out on this one, I'm not sure yet, I have nw15 skin and it might be too orange for me. This gives you a beautiful glow Christine!

I'm an nc20 will this look too orange on me? I'm looking for a way to add color to my face...
