I got Happy Together and Hang Loose based on my personal taste. These blush duos are a two sided mineralized hybrid of a satin finish blush combined with a more frosty blush.

The frosty/pearly sides of these duos are full on shimmer so they are not for the faint of heart or frost fearers.
The satin side is soft, smooth and with more sheer pigment for a light sweep of color.

When combined these duos give a similar effect as the MSFs but not quite as shimmery. Mix and match as you like with these to achieve your desired look.

Happy Together reminds me of Comfort MSF with more shimmer. The satin side is a close dupe for Comfort but the pearlized side adds a frosty sheen. Versatile enough for a blush or highlight shade for all skin tones.

Hang Loose has a very pretty soft pink satin side paired with a frosty lavender that blend together to give a light purple/pink shimmer. While the pink is a nice blush color, the lavender makes it more of a highlight color.


A Little Bit of Sunshine is similar to Happy Together but more suited for lighter skin tones. On darker skin it may come off a bit too frosty and ashy.

Band of Roses is a great rosy color that would have been perfect if I cared for rose or red toned blushes. Definite possibility for those who like rose colored blushes.
 
New Vibe is in your face! It's not subtle at all. That golden frost packs a bang. It gives a great rosy golden glow that again is worth a look if you are into golden and rosy blushes.
