I don't own PP, but having seen and swatched it, Blonde is darker and has more sheen. I also find it's a bit cooler in tone. You definitely wouldn't have trouble telling them apart.

I have both and they are quite different, PP reflects more golden pink on my NW20

where as blonde is more rose pink with silverish sheen

Wow, I finally caught up with this thread.

I snapped a few pics of a look I did but I only post two...I'm just getting to grips with the iPad photo bucket and I can't figure out how to tell what size my pics are, so apologies if they're huge!
Face:
Chanel perfection foundation in 20
Subtle Breeze Blush
Natural MSF in medium deep to contour
Snowglobe BP as highlight
Eyes:
Blanc Type all over lid
Vanilla to highlight
Twilight falls in crease
Lips:
Perfect day


I think it's a lovely day time look or a casual date look....I love how smooth and pigmented these mineral products are

You look gorgeous and fresh! I love the look!

Enjoy Redhead!

I folded and brought A Perfect Day today instore after swatching and trying it on. Waiting for the rest of my goodies to arrive via CP though!

I didn't think APD would suit me, but the MUA used Spice lipliner underneath and it looked great! I was tossing up between buying it or not, but the MUA I had was just so lovely (a change from usual!) and we had such a great chat I thought it was worth me paying 250% of US prices for the item.  I'm a sucker for good customer service.

today I'll finally buy my products!! Fresh honey and A perfect day!! I hope they suit me ^^ .. but I don't know if I should use them together since APD it's a cool nude ...

A perfect day on me looks a lot like Honeylove.. it's a touch lighter and of course it's more creamy.. but they are quite similar! The good thing is that it suits me better than Honeylove 

Awww....I'm so sad I missed out on Subtle Breeze. I haven't bought any MAC in a while because I was in a horribly deep depression, still am working on getting out of it. Anyhow, I searched all the websites and called a few stores today and if is totally gone, this blows. I have to try and think of another place to search for it but I'm totally not paying above retail for it. I LOVE briar rose and this looks like a more pigmented sister of hers.

I finally got my order delivered yesterday. Oh my! Everything is just beautiful! I LOVE it all! (Yeah I know, too many exclamation marks... they are needed though lol).

Eyeshadows I got

Twilight Falls - lovely mauvey brown. Richly pigmented and so so so smooth.

Summer Haze - mine has got really nice veining so I can get a champagne shade and also a light gold. Really lovely and smooth and pigmented. Such a great lid brightening shade or to be used as a highlight when sheered out a bit.

In the Sun - the veining on mine isn't that good but I still like it. It is a lovely golden copper. If mine has more fuchsia underneath it might mix to be more of a reddened copper. It has some sparkle in it so fallout may occur.

I've used all of the eyeshadows today over UDPP and then a thin layer of Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy to help stick the eyeshadows and make them really really intense. If you don't own Pixie Epoxy, just order a tube, best thing ever for pigments and mineral/baked eyeshadows. I love how they came out, all are totally colours I am drawn to and love wearing.

Subtle Breeze - wow! This is pigmented. I swirled my brush in it and it kicked up so much powder so just tap gently. I put way too much on and had to buff it with a clean brush. It is so soft and blendable but you really only need a little bit and build from there otherwise it is like BAM bright pink cheeks ahoy!

Blonde - Wearing this today, tapped over Subtle Breeze and it looks lovely. It is such a soft MSF, I wasn't expecting how soft and smooth it would be. It gives a beautiful glow and is a lovely colour.

Redhead - Beautiful golden shades. Not tried it on my face yet but it is so smooth and has nice colour payoff when swatched. I'm looking forward to wearing this. Would look nice over a peachy blush too.

Perfect Day -  I got into work this morning and tried to find a backup tube online but it is sold out everywhere. I think it is such a fantastic nude, probably my favourite nude on me as I find they can look quite stark and odd against my skin. This one really is perfect :)

I smell a repromote of this sometime in the future.  It sold so fast MAC marketing has to know it would make lots of $$$ if they did it again.

I am on the fence about going back for Cloudy Afternoon.  Does it pull green enough for me to want it is the question???  Can anyone say whether it is a warm grey versus a cool grey?  I really don't need any more blue based grey, but if it leans mossy green grey, I am on it...
 

This collection came online in Sweden this morning. By now 2 of the mineralize blushes have sold out, leaving only Fresh Honey left. I'm so glad I ordered my Subtle Breeze before it vanished!

Mine pulls warm but it all depends on the veins!

I'm loving my Early Morning blush! It's super pigmented. I only needed the tiniest bit and it's perfect and very unique in my collection.

I thought I would give this collection a pass, but i ended up getting

Fresh Honey mineralized blush

Subtle breeze mineralized blush

Early morning mineralized blush

Daylight MES

Summer haze MES

In the Sun MES

A perfect day lipstick

I love love love A perfect day lipstick as as a nude color on my lips when i'm wearing heavy eye make up. But i can't wear it with light or no eye make up. Makes me look kinda dead. But i love it with strong eye colors

As for the MES i bought, I bought those colors which I felt I would wear on a daily basis...basically everyday colors...

Nice collection although nothing too fancy. But is it kinda take me back to the basics...

I'm wearing Early Morning today and I love it! Super happy with the two blushes I picked up from this collection! :)

I was told on MAC Chat that Fleur powder blush is close to Subtle Breeze, does anyone have both? If so, can you swatch them and let me know if they are close to each other. I still haven't found a counter or store that has it so I am trying to find something close.

Fleur Power is more coral IMO.

So I tried Fresh Honey today. It looked bright orange on me, even sheered out. I'm sorry it didn't work on me. I ordered Something special and I hope that'll work better on me.

I'm NW10 btw.

If you have Rare Find MES from Semi-precious, it pairs well with Daylight MES from Naturally.  I am wearing that combo today and I have to say, Daylight is my favorite MES ever.  (I am NC20 with blue eyes and dark brown hair with burgundy/red undertones.)  Daylight is my favorite purple e/s ever, and that is saying A LOT. 

Early Morning is up on the US MAC site (at least as of last night it was) for those still searching for it!!!

I was tempted to purchase it but the price went up! Two weeks ago I paid $22 for Subtle Breeze. Early Morning (as well as the other mineralized blushes) were listed as $23.50. Not much of a price difference, but I was iffy on Early Morning looking too terracotta on my skin...when I checked it out in store the MUA didn't want to put it on me because he felt it would be too dark. Fresh Honey looked like a bruise on me. I guess I should lock my inner-lemming away because me and EM just weren't meant to be! Lol. Subtle Breeze on the other hand is fabulous! Once it's buffed on my cheeks it gives me a very healthy and natural glow :)

My daylight has a lot more of the pink veining, so it's a really pretty pink with a sort of lavender sheen. Love it!

 

I noticed the price too! 

I really don't think EM is worth is on really fair skin. I have a hard time working it.

That is quite an increase, they were 25$ right?

I think they were 28 before, but I might be wrong.
