Does anyone have Scarlet Ibis and Sail La Vie? I'm wondering whether the only difference between the two are the matte/satin finish?
Yes, very slight difference in color. I could not tell honestly, maybe 2 people said the could see the difference.

LOL my bad! I just knew I didn't have access to it. I never been to a MAC store, its kind of far from me.

So far this collection does nothing for me. The only items I'm interested in are: The Perfect Cheek (if its not too ashy) Preferred Blonde

I thought these videos show two different brown girl friendly pin up looks.

i watched the first one so far -- i liked the way she explained why she was doing what she was doing as well as showing us the products she used!

The shadows are bigger? I don't think I knew that. I figured the products would be a bit higher in price because of the special packaging but I didn't know the shadows were bigger.
It was mentioned somewhere in the main thread. There's a pic of the collection with swatches and pricing. The eye shadows have a price of $20 I think, and I think it was said because they're larger.

They are really close, though in person you'd probably be able to tell the difference since SI is matte and SLV is not. I have both but I LOVE SI, and I've received more compliments on it than SLV, I think because it's matte. It just pops. Talking about it makes me want to use it tomorrow

That did not even matter! Trust me I looked for hours, applied and reapplied and no matter what angle, light or anything else I could barely tell the difference in color and finish. I'll have to swatch it on hubster but for me it's like I have a bu of SI with special packaging!

thanks richelle i really like SI espoecially for the finish but do not have SLV,but might get it in a swap,so if they are the same i will probably not get a BU of SI.

I agree with Richelle...I am not planning to get SI because I have Sail La Vie..and I never really wear it. I should probably swap it or something, but I like the packaging (LOL)....anyway...

RIchelle is love goddess dupeable? It looks similar to something...not quite sure what though.

So i just recalled why I am kind of itching for The Perfect Cheek Blush...when it originally released with the Makeup Art Cosmetics collection, the MUA did a look for me using it and I loved it, but I didn't buy it as the quads were the first thing on my list and I ended up missing out. I remembered it was such a pretty flush of color for the fall and winter. I am an NC50 and I liked it a lot. So for those that are contemplating ashiness...I would suggest testing it first to see and not automatically writing it off....

My list know stands at Love Goddess and The Perfect Cheek.
