Well that’s not fair, they’re all beautiful! Rapture might be my favorite from the swatches although I’m more drawn to the bright pinks and purple! Gorgeous.

Every single one of these looks stunning on you, Christine. You seem able to wear warm and cool tones equally well. I really like the look of Rapture – it’s a bit different for me and not like a shade I would usually buy but I think I just might spring for this one. I also really like Obsessed, Quickie and Afterglow but those are more like shades I already own (in quantity!) so don’t really need them (or so I tell myself!) but I really want to check out Rapture.

Wow! I would love to check these out. I loved Lounge, Paranoid, X, and Fetish. Ran out of most of my backups and moved on to NARS. I can’t wait to see these in person. I loved them, but I didn’t like the newest versions with a highlighter and bronzer. I wish they would bring back the old Baked Bronzers, they were lovely!

I think it was because of the whole Naked introduction. The Baked bronzers were really my favorites, and I liked all three. The matte bronzer never looked muddy on me, but other brands do.

I can’t wait to get my hands on that purple blush! Not enough companies come out with purple blushes, so I buy pretty much every one I see!

I want Bittersweet and a few more, been looking around for a purple blush that’s wearable. Hope it reviews well! So glad they came out with some matte options and the shimmery ones aren’t glitter bombs.

Bitter Sweet is the one that caught my eye, can’t wait to try it! I’ve been searching for a nice purple blush on to compliment my yellow skin tone for awhile, Marc Jacob has one but the formula is not that interesting to me so I hope this one will be the one I am searching for. Thanks for your great swatches 🙂

Wow! I need Bittersweet and Rapture in my life. I’m so happy to see UD come out with blushes, including some non-traditional colors.

So far, Rapture and Crush have my attention….but I will sit tight and wait on your reviews of these before I commit to any of these. Like others have noted, there seems to be a powdery-ness with these in the arm swatches, although applied on your cheek they appear lovely.

I really love the way Obsessed is looking. I’m curious about how Rapture would look on my VERY pink undertones and wondering if I could apply Bittersweet with a light enough hand for my fair skin. Looks like I’m going to be visiting Sephora in the near future! All of these blushes look so great on you. You can make almost everything work with your skin tone and I am envious!

I just recently became obsessed with UD and this summer line is looking amazing!! I want all of these! The swatches look great, thanks for sharing!

Your swatches are lovely and I am very excited to see these in stores.

One thing I keep getting hung up on though is that the Afterglow blush line isn’t new…this is a relaunch. UD had a line of individual blushes called Afterglow just a couple years ago (I’ve been rationing Quickie every since it was discontinued so I’m SO GLAD it’s coming back)

Either way though, this is good news! Thanks for sharing!

If I own fetish and quickie from the Anarchy Face Case, would you say that I wouldn’t need to purchase the afterglow blushes with the same names? Are there differences?
