Re: WOC - Grand Duos

By looking at the pics, this looks like another collection that I'll pass on. I could change my mind when I see it in person though.

Re: WOC - Grand Duos

i was hoping for a taj mahal (nars) type color but i don't think it's going down........but i'm leaning toward love rock and earth to earth.......and maybe moon river.

I can't wait to see these in person. This is the only collection that I've been interested in for 2009 so far.

I love the glowy look but I find the MSF's tend to be more glittery than I prefer. Unless the formulation has changed and the pearl is finer than past MSF's, I think I can work with my existing blushes, highlighters and bronzers to achieve the similar effect.

Looking forward at future collections, mixing my current blushes up with the High-Light Powders June's Naked Honey collection and the Beauty Powder Blushes & Bronzers in May's Style Warriors collection look like a good option. Plus, Style Warriors is going to have special LE animal print packaging ?

I guess I'll wait till I see the MSF's in person. At this moment, it looks like a pass ... I dunno either

Re: WOC - Grand Duos

I need to see them in person too. I'm not bowled over by the mineralize blushes I already have so these need to be a better format.

Re: WOC - Grand Duos

I might pass them as well since the swatches are really sheer on the nc20's, so it must be mega sheer on my skin tone.

Re: WOC - Grand Duos

I am looking at Moon River, Love Rock, Intenso and Earth to Earth.

I have alot of the Sonic Chic ones already though...but I really want one of those light ones because I missed out on Lightscapade.

I can't decide if I want to try Love Rock or else wait for the Sugar Sweet MSF.

Re: WOC - Grand Duos

Well after work I ventured into the city to have a closer look at the new Grand Duo's. I was pretty excited about it all day and I practically ran to the MAC counter. Okay now - ladies don't over look these blushes. They are comparable to Nars IMO. Very pigmented, smooth and buttery texture, and the melange side is not chunky glitter at all. It's kind of like the loose Beauty Powders in pressed form and is very finely milled.

I ended up with Grand Duo and Hot Planet. Grand Duo is a gorgeous raspberry pink and Hot Planet is a warm coral orange. Intenso was also gorgeous and lives up to it's name! It's a really intense red/orange. Moon River and Love Rock were very pretty too but maybe more suited to girls with cool, fair skin. They were quite frosty/ashy on my NW45 skin. I didn't really get to play with the other two, Earth to Earth and Light Over Dark as they were in use. I'm really happy with my two purchases and will get swatches up as soon as I get those batteries :x

Pass for me too. They're pretty and all, but not must have IMO. I'd rather have more Dazzleglass and Style Warriors.

Re: WOC - Grand Duos

I bought only one blush-so far! I got Grand Duo which is gorgeous!! The mono side is plum with a gold shimmer and the melange side has light pink/dark pink/dark bronze veining. The shimmer is not large and chunky at all and provides a thin veil of shimmer. The blush is very finely milled. I think I also like Light to Dark (on me it looks more like a bronzer). Hot Planet is also really interesting, may have to get that one too!
I'm NW 45

Re: WOC - Grand Duos

I am passing on this collection. If the blushes are anything like the mineralize blushes from Sonic Chic Collection, they really wont have any staying power.

Re: WOC - Grand Duos

I'm passing on this collection too. As much as I love mineralized skinfinishes, that's how much I unlove mineralized blushes. After seeing swatches, there's nothing for me.

Re: WOC - Grand Duos

I bought Love Rock and noticed if I put too much it will ends up looking too frosty ashy =S (in pics) .....all of them are super pigmented and very shimmery!....so I'd have to apply it with an angle blush / 188 brush and buff it out and not put too much.

I would definitely recommend Hot Planet (a pinky plum shade: this one's my fave), Grand Duo (solid side reminds me of Nars Crazed blush), Intenso (solid side is a bit similar to Mac Merrily blush) , and Earth to Earth ....I LOVE ThESE!

I love the ones that have the gold marblelized sides.
