NEW FORMULA, NEW SHADES 

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.

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.

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.

@@beautyandsomebeasts thank you! Good info the makeup lover in me wants both but the priory will be the new shade!

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 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.

The liquids that came out recently or the kind of putty creams in pans? I have both so yes, I could do a video!
