Whoooooohooooo!!!! Congrats girl! I can never find a reasonably priced LE item on Mac, but you've just given me hope for the future! lol!

 HeeHee!  Keeping the LE BU dream alive! 

Cloudy Afternoon is still available on Nordstrom's website, if anyone is interested.

Oh no!
I am so sorry to hear that.....this is really VERY disappoiting!

 Try calling customer service. Sometimes it is a glitch. It happened to me with the MW 187. They had it online but when I ordered it canceled. I called and they got the brush out that week.

That blows, I was hoping to find one of those, I skipped it so of course I have remorse.  Maybe I can find one at the CCO around here.  If I find one, do u want me to get an extra for you?

I think she was able to call Nordstrom and order it! You may want to try . 

were there dupes of the blushes in MAC or other lines? Especially Fresh Honey. 

I know this thread is old, but wondering if anyone can recommend dupes for Cloudy Afternoon?  I can't find it anywhere for a reasonable price...

I regret not getting Fresh Honey and Early Morning MB from this collection. The only thing that I got was Redhead MSF.

Fresh Honey turned out to be one of the most unique blush colors from MAC this year. You can just sort of get a similar effect if you mix Immortal Flower on top of Modern Mandarin with some bronzer under or over, but Fresh Honey pretty much stands on its own. 

Early Morning had some closer dupes, such as Ring of Saturn (more shimmery), Hidden Treasure (darker and redder), etc. but it still wound up being pretty unique for its beautiful texture and long lasting power, unusual for a MB.

I love Subtle Breeze too - all the blushes from this collection were superb - they're at the top of my most used blush list for sure.

I regret not getting Early Morning since I love red blushes, I hope MAC will release something similar again..)

I bought both Fresh Honey and Early Morning this summer, months after they were launched. A friend gave me Fresh Honey (didn't suit her colouring) and my MAC store got a few in. I like both, although Warm Soul is probably my favourite MB.

I wish I'd gotten Redhead; I wasn't buying mineralized products when the colleciton launched because I thought they broke me out. I've since discovered that they don't, but a bit too late.

....SB is my favorite out of the 3 MBs from this collection!

My mom gave me Subtle Breeze as a birthday present a few months ago; I need to try it out, and I'm hoping I can actually use it.

I got Early Morning when the collection launched, and didn't try it for a few months. Once I did, I wished I could take it back. It's very pretty, but unfortunately for me, my skin starts stinging and burning the second it hits my cheeks. I've tried it several times in case it was a coincidence, and it bothers me a little less each time, but it is just not pleasant.

I'm guessing it has to do with the dyes. Ring of Saturn did the same thing to me when I swatched it on my hand. Do RoS and EM have a specific red dye in common, anyone know? I guess I have some kind of allergy I wasn't aware of. So disappointing.

Does anyone think layering it on top of another product (like a beauty powder or MCLP) might help prevent it, or is this just a lost cause for me?

That's so sweet of you! :)

I think I'll try to get Stereo Rose when it launches again and I wouldn't need both, but thanks for the offer.

I think it's a mineral ingredient in the mineralize products themselves. It may be best to stay away from those kinds of products. Makeup shouldn't hurt or sting when you put it on, and if it does it's probably due to an allergic reaction (unless you get some fallout in your eye, that stings, lol)

It could be a specific colour, too. My friend is allergic to some ingredient of the color green (this specifically with a Mac Mineralize green).
 

I really like the MB from this collection; they're a lot more wearable (for me) than their shimmery HC cousins. I wore Warm Soul to death this spring and summer and I've surprised myself by reaching for Fresh Honey quite a bit this fall when I thought of it more as a spring/summer colour.

I've been trying to play with my stash more lately and try different combinations. I loved today's look: F&B, Forever Marilyn, Fresh Honey, A Natural Flirt (inner 1/3 of lid) with NARS Paramaribo duo on remainder of lid and crease, Local Wares fluidline, Chicory liner and NARS Autumn Leaves lipstick. Great fall look. I'm trying to put together a different look every day from now until Christmas; I feel like I've barely gotten to know half of my products.

I agree wholeheartedly. Early Morning was my everyday blush for a month straight, but I've been using Subtle Breeze quite a bit over the last few weeks. Thank goodness I recently scored back-ups of both. I still have seller's remorse over offloading Fresh Honey though!

Does anyone know of a dupe for A Perfect Day lipstick?
