Mmmm, I totally get that one!! My own random mixed undertones cause some very, very odd problems with some SN shades!

I've been working my way through the foundation thread the past 2 weeks and came across your post from when you were trying to get a match. I suspect we have a similar problem with foundation bases...our undertones get in the way!

Date Bait isn't a match for me though.
Cherry Blossom is not the most complimentary color on me. The skin around my eyes hugs some colors the wrong way and they end up looking gunky, like I tried to apply them wet then proceeded to try rubbing them off?? Hard to describe, but looks like a mess!

oh no, not another peachy color I need to try?!

Is it somewhat similar to Highbeam, but without the gold? What's it like compared to Sandy (which I should get in a couple of days)?

Annika, would you let me know what you think of Sandy when you get it, please? Either as a lid colour or a highlight
