I don't buy Lustres, Frost and Cremesheens anymore.

Don't like the finishes even though the colors may be gorgeous (Musky Amethyst, anyone? LE).

IDK about y'all but I seem seem to zoom through the Frost and lustre l/s so fast because they disappear so quickly on the lips.

For some odd reason my lips dislike Cremesheens - too weird! - no matter how much  prep them.

ITA.  I put myself on a Lustre finish no buy because I had at least 25 of them and they just don't last, although I love the creaminess and the shine.  Creme in Yr Coffee is a lovely Creamsheen but I notice they leave my lips really dry.  Love the pigmentation, hate the dryness.  Amplifed is a great finish.  Glaze is good for a wash of sheer color.  Frost I either love or hate, usually it looks too metallic for me to rock it every day.  I have been trying to focus on the Amplified, Satin, Matte, and Mattene instead and luckily MAC has come out with some doozies this year.

Those are my favs too! I love me some pigmented lipsticks.

 My favorites too. I haven't tried the mattenes yet, but I'm sure I would love those too.

I got my Light Year and Center of the Universe BU. I don't know how I feel about my BU. I wish it had more swirls of the coral and copper colors like my first one. But I do like my Light Year. The color is more peach than pink when it first touches my skin, then it blends away to a soft gold sheen. I wonder if this is how the Marilyn Monroe Beauty Powder will be?  It's pretty, but I don't feel that I need a BU of Light Year. I'm happy to have the entire MSF set, but I still don't feel complete. I need to track down a more pink Aurora. To be continued...

I thought it was going to be a totally dupable color, but it's actually quite unique! And you don't need tons of the purple to get this pink sparkle, I bought 2 diff ones (one w lots of brown and one with more purple/gold) and somehow they still swatch very similarly.
If you are into deep taupes, purples, burgundy-browns, etc then I recommend checking UA out. It is a really gorgeous everyday rich neutral, and you can swing the color in a lot of different directions. Great w Added Goodness, Hyperviolet, Morning Frost, Half Wild, etc! Also lovely w golds.

 Is it anything like Rare Find?

My Meteoric has maybe 1/3 left - less than Star Quality and Double Dare. I think I got one that wasn't quite full and didn't notice though because I haven't worn it nearly as much as the others.

I've been working through SQ and DD this summer. I thought I'd get through them but I'm getting bored of gloss and lemming my more opaque fall transitional shades. I could be through SQ, DD and Meteoric by the end of September if I tried. I probably should but I want to get back to my old friends and play with my new stuff. :)

Same here. I forgot about glaze.

Don't buy those either.

I went to my counter today, and there's no more MSF's left, only eye shadows! I'm glad I picked up LY when I did :).

All of the msfs are sold out from my local MAC counters as well. From what I understand, they went first.

Some of the e/s and a few blushes are all that remains.

This was a great collex, one of the best this year and one of the best mineral ones in a long time.

So I wanted to post this pic because today for the first time I wore my Star Wonder and OMG! I am in love! It gave me this beautiful pink almost purple sheen this pic is after wearing it all day and u can still see the glow on my cheeks I put it on at 9am and took this pic at about 6 pm so it last it a long time, now I feel that I need a BU of it since this is the only one I did not get a BU for.

very pretty!

Actually it's third! Little over a thousand more to second lol.

NOOOOO! I'm still dithering over this - GAD! It's been sitting in my Nordstrom's cart for days! Oh- Alright! You made me do it - pull the trigger! Some people .... 

Edited: 9:25 am - alright ! I did it - pulled the trigger. I should receive this by the end of next week. No more lemming for SW! Back to the upcoming NO BUY!

Goodness gracious! Perhaps the new motto should be "She who dies with the most makeup wins!"

I'm thinking about gifting my sister an Earthshine msfs.

I'm not sure she'll like it though.

Her absolute favorite is Warm Blend and she is working on her last one.

I've been trying to decide if I really want Start Quality and/or Double Dare.  If you get a moment, could you post swatches of the two side by side?  

Unless I'm mistaken, the MSFs are no longer on MAC's website.  I even did a search for ES, SW and CotU - nowhere to be found.

You're right they are gone. I went to the site map and Hey Sailor's links have been cleaned up. The items are still in the sidebar tabs of the products though (lips, eyes, face, etc). MAC must have done some cleaning.
