The Optimistic Orange Cremeblend blush! I’m hoping for a chance to check it out in person today – I live in NYC and just found out it was already released here ):

I’m most excited for Restores Dazzle! Cremeblend Blush. I never really use cream blushes and it looks scarily dark in the pan, but it looks so pretty and natural in swatches!

The Sunday Afternoon powder.
I wish the Watch me Simmer lipstick was in the giveaway… it was sold out even before launching of their website… 🙁

I’m really excited for the Sunday Afternoon Pearlmatte Face Powder! I just fell in love with MACs Face-Products. But I just bought lots of stuff from the Naturally LE (that just came out here in Germany), so I guess I will have to skip that because of the price…

The Sunday Afternoon Pearlmatte Powder is sublime; because of the lovely powder tableau and also because it sounds (according to your review) as though it would do wonders for my very fair skin. What a lovely product!

I’m so excited to try out the Kissable lip colors!! I had been eying them every now and then on the swatch gallery for a few months now, totally sad I didn’t purchase any when they were available, so I was pretty excited to find out they were being launched with the Shop Mac collection. I bought a few yesterday – online!

After seeing your review for the Florida blush, I totally want it!! Even if I don’t win this, I’m going to get that and one of the lip tints. Thanks so much for your reviews! 🙂

Wow, great give away! 🙂 I filled out the form since I’d LOVE to enlargen my MAC stash, haha. I’m most excited for the Optimistic Orange Cremeblend Blush, since I don’t have make make-up products in orange, and not even one blush! I’d love to try out this colour 🙂

The optimistic orange creme blend blush! I love both the Vera blushes, but I’ve been looking for a good orange blush for a long time! This one looks amazing!!

I’m probably most excited for Sunday Afternoon pearlmatte. It’s beautiful. Though, I do live in Florida so a blush of the same name is awesome:)

I’m most excited for the Optimistic Orange Cremeblend Blush because I’ve never got the chance to work with one and the few videos I saw featuring it were really convincing about the easiness to apply it and its doll but also modern finish. And it looks both so sophisticated and fresh. I love that it has all of this options so you never get tired of it. And the color is……… amazing!! Love this orange, it’s a one of a kind colour!
To conclude : unique blush to come for amazing looks !

I would love to try Restores Dazzle! I don’t really do cream blushes, but after seeing the cremeblends in action, they seem to just melt right into the skin and has such a nice dewy glow.

I desperately long for those pearlmatte powders. I’m a fanatic for vintage Vera scarves, so having a face product with that ladybug logo would send me over the moon!

Honestly, I’m most excited for the Sunday Afternoon Pearlmatte Face Powder. I love the design on it and I think it would work gorgeously as a blush on my very fair skin (NC15)!

That must be the Flower Fantasy Pearlmatte Powder. I want to know what that will look like, but I won’t be able to see it (vacation overlaps with the release, so I’ll miss it in both countries) :/

Nina Avatar

Well that’s just silly, which ONE are we most excited for. =) I would say I would probably wear Sunday Afternoon the most, but would be really curious to see if Flower Fantasy would work with my skin tone. It sounds/looks like one of those colors that either would be perfect for me, or awful, no in betweens. Optimistic Orange, would probably look horrible on me, but… I still kind of want it… cause… it’s Orange! And awesome! So maybe OO would be the one I’m really most excited about, cause I just couldn’t ever justify purchasing it for myself. But winning it… ; ) Thanks for the giveaway!

I’m probably most excited for Restores Dazzle! Cremeblend Blush. I’ve been really interested in that formula and berry/plum/pinky colors lately so that looks gorgeous! I probably won’t pick it up on my own unfortunately.

Ahhh. I think I’m most excited for Restores Dazzle! Cremeblend Blush because I don’t have any cremeblend blushes and I think that that color is absolutely beautiful. I’m also excited for the pearlmatte face powders! You can use them for so much because theres different colors.

I’d definitely go for the flower fantasy pearlmatte face powder. I like both of the face powders actually! I don’t have a lot of experience with cream blushes…I’m a bit afraid to use them! My skintone is very pale, I wouldn’t want to overdo it.
