Wow, incorrect information all over the place. Colour Craft isn't Nordies only, but it releases on 7/9. Graphic Garden is special for Nordies and will release on 7/17.

Are Fab-dabulous and Warm Soul similar, anyone know? No ones answered yet.

Wow, that is expensive. I need to consider very carefully and will only buy it if it is a good blush brush, which I have been searching for.

I find it kinda irritating that the blushes have more of a MSF finish and aren't more like the Sonic Chic ones. It makes the release of the blushes AND the MSFs in this collection kinda pointless because you probably won't need a MSF on top of the CC blushes because they are already shimmery enough.

Thanks for pointing that out. I have been thinking of getting a MSF or MB here because they are equally shimmery. They confuse me.

I should have compared it to my Afterdusk to show that while Afterdusk leaves mainly gold behind with a touch of rose, Daft Pink shows mostly pink with a touch of gold.

DP looks warm in your swatches. I most likely will not get a warm blush because they turn warm on me naturally. Your swatch of DP looks very pretty though!

Ouch, your poor wallet!

[allThingsGirl]

My list keeps getting smaller and smaller while reading this thread..

Just wondering, for those of you that have many of the MSFs, Sonic Chic MBs, and Grand Duos -- what are you getting? I'm trying to figure out what is unique and different out of these and which are dupes/passable..

So far, I think Cheeky Bronze is back on my list and maybe the brush.

I hope I get to see these in person.

Relative to some of the other pinks in the swatch, DP does look warm, but compared to my warmer pinks, DP is relatively cool, lol, in that it is still a blue-pink rather than a yellow-pink

Those MSF are all mine!! (evil laugh)

Hey everyone I missed you all!!

How's everyone?

I'm way too excited for this collection because of all those MSF haha

i use a q-tip for powders and the brush tester wands for glosses.

where's your counter? at a nordies or a macys? its coming out on the 9th (it hasn't been pushed back), and euristocrats is a store/nordies only collection.

you might be able to find one that has a tad more pink, but for the majority of em there isn't much in there.

And if you already have Warm Soul to you need Fab-dabulous?

Warm Soul and Fab-dabulous are not close. Warm Soul on me is a nice subtle blush, Fab-dabulous was on my list, but is way too pigmented.

Warm Soul - Mid tone beige with gold pearl

Fab-dabulous - Mid-tone burnt coral with yellow gold veining




No idea about Style Demon and Notable. I guess it boils down to finish. SD is brick red and *very* pigmented, but has the MB finish (shimmery).

[sapnap]

ouch!! is it out at Tangs already? and the blushes? will probably ask someone to get it from the airport...

Do you mean the 131? If so, I saw it and the two blushes as DFS Scotts not at Tangs.

yes oh thanks!!

[SometimesTheyComeBack]

My list is changing daily! Haha

Everytimes I see some swatches I change my mind!!

[Paradise213]

Hey Girls...

I really need to narrow my list of MSF'S down

so I was woundering if you could advise me on what msfs to get based on the ones I have so far.

I am NW20 when I am not tanned, and about NW35 when tanned in summer.

I have;
Refined (love)
Blonde (like this but hardly ever use)
Global Glow (Love)
Soft and gentle (this is okay as a highlight)
Shooting Star (love this but it's alittle dark)
So Ceylon (my all time favourite)

Can anyone compare So Ceylon, Shooting Star or Global Glow with Sunny by nature and cheeky bronze??

[NeonKitty]

Oh for crying out loud! What is it with this collection? I called my MAC store and this collection isn't launching early, yet it is in other parts of Canada? Why is it that it seems to be launching at different times in different countries, different parts of the same country, and nobody at MAC seems to know what is going on? Arghs.

Fabdab is so going to be my beyotch. A coral blush with gold veining,
it reminds me of the darker stripe of Brunette MSF,
StyleDemon looks like it would warm my NC50 right on up with lightly applied. I hope it is not like Merrily which was entirely too red on me.

I am most excited by these two. I want the MSF too, but these are being got as soon as they hit the site.

[Yagmur]

Thank you KarlaSugar for your gorgeous Swatches!!!

Smooth Merge MSF, Cheek and Cheerful MB, Style Demon MB come to Mommy

Maybe the 131 and maybe the 226, but just maybe
