Another NW15ish saying try the Fresh Honey. It is surprisingly wearable on pale complexions (as was Early Morning--at first I was like, wait, this is going back! but glad I took the plunge). The texture, is LIKE BUTTER.

I would say there is justification for getting A Perfect Day even if you have HoneyLove (if you like the color) because the finish is different. I prefer the APD finish over the Lustre finish of HoneyLove. APD is a creamsheen IIRC...

OOOh, I just had the idea of layering HoneyLove over APD!

*Self-Enabling* Lol. I'm thrilled that you like it. The texture of these blushes is simply amazing. I hope that make continues this formula.


PS: It also means, that you can pull of Modern Mandarin :)

Okay, sold! I don't have any neutral blushes like this and I do have pale skin and some redness, so I'm sure it will be beautiful. I love the formula on these blushes too.

APD is actually Amplified and Honeylove is a matte.

On me, APD and Honeylove look very different. Honeylove is very beige nude and APD is nude pink, but almost peach. But that's just on my skintone, it varies greatly from what I've seen. It actually really surprises me that APD pulled peach because I can see no peach in the actual product.

You could try ACW. Even if they don't have it now, they usually get limited edition items at some point. Even the sold out ones.

I got Fresh Honey off Ebay today for about $32 . I don't like to pay above retail, but I rationalized that I would pay that much with shipping included if I got it from Nordstrom. I'd say it will be on ACW and it might be cheaper on Ebay at some point.

you lucky!! On me they are almost the same probably because of the natural color of my lips! If it was'n drying I'd like to try lip erase!

I know I am too late in the game but I just yestreday did my haul. I don't know why it took so long to be released here, it's not normal.

I was lucky to be at another place and go to MAC, because I always get nervous at my local store about the MSF's, they have only a few and most of them they keep them for thmselves!

I got both the MSF's, APD lipstick, I spent sometime thinking about the blushes, I liked EM but I hace many similars, the MUA helped me, he was SO excited with the FH blush, so I got that, too.

I have finally gotten Fresh Honey to work for me! being a NW20 and always reaching for pink tone blushes, Fresh Honey was a purchase I made to expand my horizons and try different things. I have persisted with it and finally got a combo that I felt I quite liked. I was so close to selling it but decided to try one more time

I put on a neutral eye with shimmery white golds and shimmery browns mixed together and a thick winged liner. I used Scarlet Ibis lipstick and then put on Fresh Honey with a 168 Brush and then used Strada to contour! All on top of the miracle powder that is Elude and Studio Fix Fluid

It wont be a blush that I reach for every day because it will clash alot with my intense eye colours, but it is something that I will have sitting there for a later date.

OOOOoooo that sounds beautious! I just got SI, so I'll have to pair it up with FH! Thanks for the idea!
Post a FOTD if you get a chance... I'd love to see it!

Well I finally got around to buying my items from this collection. I got the 286 brush and daylight mes. I love both. The brush is great when you just want a subtle crease look or have a dark shadow and you don't want it to look too heavy handed. I want to try using it to apply under eye concealer too but I haven't had a chance yet. Daylight is stunning! Nothing like anything else in my stash. I wore it over half wild pp today and it took it to another level!

FYI the 286 is now perm according to one of the muas it sat on the display for mineralized products!
Yeah I had heard it was perm but I had also heard the 211 was perm but I can't find it anywhere now so I didn't want to take the risk with the 286

When I bought Fresh Honey I thought it was different enough from Warmth of Coral. I just looked them side by side swatched and they are awfully similar, very close. Now I regret buying FH because I don't want to end up with colours too close to each other anymore, because of my already huge collection. :( I should've remembered to bring WoC with me to the counter. Well, you can't always get it right can you.

Subtle Breeze has become my go to blush for every day this winter. I am starting to use Twilight Falls MES in heavy rotation too. I used it with Constructivist PP as a base and it was gorgeous.
