A good drugstore one is by Physicians Formula. It's called Sunset Strip and it looks very similar to the BB Shimmerbricks packaging. I bought mine for 5 bucks on sale. I'm actually wearing it in my avatar. HTH!

Awesome. I'll look into that!

What else are you wearing in your avatar, skin twin?

Re: MSF's for WOC

The only MSF that I have is the redhead one from BBR, and I have not recieved it yet. Cant wait.

I have been stalking ebay for Golden Glow, Gold Spill, Northern Lights and Petticoat. My friend is going to the CCO for me and she has her eyes out for these too along with So Ceylon and Golden Deposit.

Re: MSF's for WOC

Allison1998 ... Petticoat is still available in some stores. It may not be on display but if you ask you may get a pleasant surprise. I purchased one recently. So Ceylon may be available from MAC.COM. It did not show up under MSF but when I did a search on So Ceylon, it was available. I realize that these aren't discounted but if you really want them, it may be wise to get them while still available.

The prices on EBAY for MSF seem ridiculous to me. They are higher than the original retail. I can understand this if the product is rare or discontinued, But I am seeing readily available MSF on EBAY for premium prices.

Re: MSF's for WOC

I wear NC50 in MAC and have Gold Spill, Light Flush, Shooting Star and Brunette. I will track down a decent priced Metal Rock this year if it kills me!!

if i have Gold Spill, do I need Gold Deposit? It looks pretty!

Re: MSF's for WOC

petticoat is gorgeous, and it reminds me of MAC's Pink Opal pigment. it has that same light pink/pearly duochrome. I think if you used a lil bit of strobe cream and a touch of pink opal pig. you'd get a very similar effect.

Thanks...I am new to this whole MAC thing and have decided to try the MSFs after hearing everyone rave about them.

I went on the website and Petticoat and Gold Deposit are still available. Since my friend got them from the CCO, I will see what she can find and then I can order them from MAC.

Thanks alot

Re: MSF's for WOC

I can't speak for all deep or rich complexions, but I know what I like on myself. My absolute fave MSF is petticoat. Most recently I purchased the Brunette MSF from the BBR collection and I love it, it doubles as a medium coverage foundation. Gold Deposit and So Ceylon are pretty too, and I'm excited about the new Grand Duo collection. I think it will offer a good bit of MSF options for women of all skin tones.

I recently got Gold Spill and Light Flush from the CCO. I used Light Flush today and I like it, I think. :P

What do you ladies think of Light Flush?

I'm NC40. I think Light Flush is *okay*....I don't love it. I think ever since I got Blonde MSF, I don't reach for Light Flush anymore. Light Flush is warmer though, while Blonde is cooler. Light Flush doesn't show up that much on me and is a bit chunkier than the newer BBR ones. It shows up, more like a highlighter, which is fine -- while Blonde, I can actually use as a blush too.

In previous threads above, some ladies are saying they prefer So Ceylon over Brunette. I'm actually the opposite. I like Brunette better because I like the burnt rose/coral/red undertones more in it. I think Brunette has more of it than So Ceylon and I already love Metal Rock and Shooting Star as my "bronzer" MSF. I felt like having So Ceylone was unnecessary and in between those and Brunette.

Love Shimpagne! It's wonderful! And I'm really liking the Sugarsweet ones for highlighters and glowyness right now.

^Poor baby.

I got my Metal Rock in January for $30, and I feel very grateful!

People should feel bad for jacking the price of items up (I've seen MSFs for $60!!!) and for scamming people.

I wish I had purchased Brunette 'cause I liked it...

Re: MSF's for WOC

Thanks for all of the info ladies.

I have 4 MSFs now: Light Flush which I just got this past weekend and I really like it. It shows up on my skin and has a kind of pinky/bronzy tone to it.

I also got Gold Spill this past weekend. I LOVE this one. It gives my skin a gold sheen I really like it, all except for the glitter, but that can be buffed out.

I also have the Redhead MSF (my first one). If I have this one, do I need Petticoat? The SA said they were comparable, but I want some other opinions. Sorry if this has been asked before.

I also have Med Deep MSFN that I scored from ebay for 7.50 shipped. It matches my skintone perfectly.

I was really disapointed in the Refined and Perfect Topping MSFs. Cant wait to add to my collection!

IMO Redhead and Petticoat are nowhere near similar ...Petticoat is more Pink....I would compare it closer to Blonde MSF than Redhead. Redhead has no pink in it...Redhead however does compare to Refined very closey.....there are comparison swatches in the swatch thread

Re: MSF's for WOC

A little help please?

So, I found a So Ceylon MSF at my local counter. Should I get that or a backup of Brunette instead? I really love Brunette....but I'm seeing alot of love for the other one...

Thanks in advance!

I personally like Brunette better than So Ceylon. So Ceylon and Brunette are similar, but I think that Brunette is more orange and has more shimmer to it. I find that So Ceylon doesn't show up as bright on my C7 face. I think it depends on what you want to use them for. I would highlight with So Ceylon and I love Brunette used alone as a light blush or on top of a blush. I think some others have indicated that if you have Brunette, you really don't need So Ceylon. Try them both, one on each side of your face and see what you prefer. You can always return any item you don't like back to the MAC counter/store.

I also like Brunette better than So Ceylon. However, I'm not a "backup" type person so I'd get the So Ceylon if I were you to have some variety?

Don't forget about all the new MSFs that are coming this summer too though!

I agree with Allthingsgirl...I don't do backups of MSFs. I guess b/c I have so many, I figure it'll take me a really really long time to get through them all.

I do love the Brunette, as well as So Ceylon, so I'd say make sure you've got each before getting doubles of one.

Shooting Star is my all time fave! It works great on my skin tone for contour/bronzer.

I was disappointed with these too...I got both of them, and swapped away Perfect Topping b/c it doesn't show up on me AT ALL! I kept Refined, but it takes a few coats to have an impact.

I'm hoping the new collection will be more WOC-friendly as far as contour & highlighting is concerned. Soft & Gentle is the only highlighting MSF that works for me, and sometimes I don't want that much shimmer.

We'll see...I'm counting the days til July 9th!!

I've never even seen Metal Rock in person....I've been trying to get my hands on it, but people are really picky/greedy about it.

I like to tell myself that it's all hype, but a little voice tells me to believe the hype...hehe

Cross your fingers that I get it someday
