Thank you for the review. I love the old So Natural blush. Based on your review, I wasn't sure I will love the new formula, so I found a shop which is still selling the old Glow play blushes and bought a replacement. They might change the foluma once again until I finidh my current blush and a replacement.
Really trying to scrutinize them in swatches just now I would say the new ones are ever so slightly more matte/dry. The old shades also have more shimmer particle in them, it’s subtle but it’s definitely there. However, in the video I think what’s really exacerbating it is how dry my skin is. I’ll report back, but I believe with better skin prep on my part, they would look the same on the face as the old ones. I have super dry and dehydrated skin so if my skin is going through it, it’ll suck the moisture out of anything.
You Are Right. I have bought so Natural my fav Shadw but the old Formular is smoother and has more pigmention. The new has More powder formular it is smilar with hifhlighter powder not so creamy. Sorry for my english
@@beautyandsomebeastsSmall correction. You mispronounced Marrakesh😂. No worries you're not the only one. But as a Moroccan myself I find it kinda funny but interesting how people pronounce it elsewhere. But I blame the french cause they started this mispronouncing catastraphe. That a lot of people say it wrong across the globe. It's not meri-cash. It's marr (hold the r sound) marr-rraksh that's how you pronounce it. So the first part you pronounce it slower and hold the R-sound a little longer and then rol into the other r (again hold the r but pronounce it a faster) no cash more like kesh/ksh. As for MAC i personally no longrr buy from this brand for ethical and political reasons so won't be purchasing these. I do however have some of the older ones like so natural and blush please.
I think the really do apply differently. I can get the powder to apply fairly sheer and it builds really well, the Glow Play will always have a little more translucency to it because of the formula. The biggest difference between the two is that the powder is truly matte and the Glow Play isn't and will take on the finish of the foundation beneath (whereas the powder always mattifies what's beneath it). If you think that flexibility of finish will be useful to you, I could make a case for owning both.
I prefer something fairly dense, with medium length synthetic bristles. My favorite (non-discontinued) brush is the BK Beauty 109 (go.shopmy.us/p-6187311). I have an old d/c e.l.f. brush I love, and I think their putty brush would work really well (go.shopmy.us/p-61874280). A brush that is too fluffy will have a harder time picking up the formula.
new sub here. i loveeee the glow play blushes and own almost all of the originals as well as a couple LE’s, and true harmony, ginger luck, and pinch of marrekesh are screaming my name. i wanted plush pepper until i watched this video until i saw it looked more pink than the burnt red i was hoping for on you. i hope that shade is still available in the original powder form. my favorites have been so natural and blush palette, and i’m wondering what the new one looks and feels like on the cheeks. thank you so much for the swatches. can you please let me know what nail polish you’re wearing??? 🥰🥰🥰
My nail polish is the shade Perfectly Suited from KBShimmer! It's from an older collection of theirs. Most of my polishes and indie brands I purchased through Polish Pickup, or from brands I found through them. Glad the swatches were helpful!
Hi! I just subscribed today. It's great to see someone as obsessed with blush as I am! Haha. I noticed the shade name similarities as well. Ginger Luck looks so pretty, but I'm still not sure if it will show up on my skin tone. Gingerly powder blush only worked on me when I was my winter foundation shade. I might take a chance and order it in the future anyway. I love having Pinch of Marrakesh and Plush Pepper though to join my older Glow Plays. Yay for the shade extension!
They do build a little, but if you're much darker than me I'm not sure if you'd get a ton of color out of it. It may also have to do with undertone, though. I (think) I'm neutral leaning warm but it's possible Ginger Luck would show up more distinctly on someone with cooler undertones. But the deeper shades are such good additions! I may even go back for Big Diva Energy at some point but I had to show some version of restraint. Thanks for the sub! I love finding out there are other people who love on blush like I do!
i tried pinch of marakesh at the store. I swatched it on my arm but on my cheek it turned out too red. Harmony and Ginger luck look beautiful on you. I have gingerly blush and i love that! now i wanna check out gingerluck and harmony at the store

The new formular looks less radiant and more dry?! Can you tell the difference? Than you!😊

Good to know. I own burnt pepper in the powder formula so I’ll pass on power play version. Despite having it in my cart. Is it worth having both?

@@beautyandsomebeasts thank you! Good info the makeup lover in me wants both but the priory will be the new shade!
True harmony is calling for me. I love the cool toned browny tones.
How interesting that ginger luck looks so similar on camera on your face, even though in the pan they are entirely different.
I know, I thought it was strange how similar they are on the cheeks. I like both but was hoping they'd show up more distinctly on me.
What sort of brush do you recommend for applying the putty formula?

True Harmony 💜👍💕
Will you try the Armani blushes?! The creme gel
The liquids that came out recently or the kind of putty creams in pans? I have both so yes, I could do a video!
true harmony is your color!
True harmony looks good to me. They have some good very brownish shades that I love. I tried colored blush and it’s just not me.
