Urban Decay Sesso (Blush) (PiP, ) is lighter, warmer (85% similar). Cover FX Sweet Mulberry (Left) (PiP, ) is less shimmery, darker (85% similar).

The formula is supposed to be pigmented, long-wearing, and blendable (for more on how it compares to the previous formula, check out this post). This is one of the less-pigmented shades in the line-up, as it had more semi-sheer to medium coverage. The texture didn’t seem as smooth or as finely-milled either, which made blending it out more work than it has been with the other shades (and I don’t think it, ultimately, evened out as much as I wanted it to, looking back at the photo). The texture seemed to become more blendable after a few uses, so there was that, but I wish it was softer like the other shades I’ve tried, as the color is lovely and harder to dupe. This shade lasted for eight hours on me before fading.

Oops, ordered this sight unseen, and I should know better! First C in my recollection, for a mug blush. Hasn’t come yet. Well, as the saying goes, make it work! I get sucked in by the discount…..
Keep me posted 🙂 Maybe yours will be smoother.
I must say I love this one and Puppy Love a lot from the new range! I ordered a couple of the old range that were still on the MUG site and while I do like that satin finish better, there were no issues at all with Soulmate for me.. hopefully you ll like it 🙂
Too bad blending was a bit of a challenge with this one.
I wish it was easier to use!
Too bad, I was hoping for better application and satin finish.
Same here!
I saw the picture of this and I thought: Yay! But then I saw your grade… 🙁 This is a pass!
Aww 🙁
I’m not feeling this one. It looks patchy and the matte finish just isn’t working with it.
I agree!
Oh bummer, I like its muted quality
Same here!
Oh no! This is sad, indeed, because I had high hopes for this one. In particular, because it looked deep enough to give me a nice plummy-rosy cheek color. Perhaps one of the dupes will work?
Fingers crossed one of the dupes works!
Looks like a matte NARS Sin.
I can see some resemblance!
OHHH! I love this colour! Reminds me of one of the Clinique Cheek Pop shades… Berry Pop I think!
I can see what you mean!
Too bad on this one. I was hoping Soulmate would actually be a good match, heehee 😉
Hahaha! 😉
