Try the 131 or in preference the 184. The 187 or even the 188 just pick up too much product for us palies. Using the 184 will give you the control and you can always add more color if you need to do so. I'm glad you like it!

I was very restrained as well! I've ordered Supercontinental and Local Wares, and that's it. I just got the Estee lauder Violet Underground palette and I want a few things from the new Illamasqua collection, so I had to hold back a bit on Styleseeker

If I can get my hands on either of them then I definitely will! Now I really want MAC to release a red MSF

I'd be curious to see this myself. RoS was the closest but it's a MB.Quote:

Everyone seems to be getting their packages today including me
This is what I got:
Top: Fashion Nomad and Supercontinental
Bottom: On the hunt, Marche Aux Puces, Whims & Fancies
I'm loving everything so far
Here are some comparisons, just in case they would be helpful to anyone!
They seem in the same family but each one is different and I love each one of them. When I got Supercontinental it seemed quite orange but compared to Illamasqua Lover it is a lot more pink! NARS Torrid is definitely darker and pinkier
I don't own many orange lipsticks but took a chance with Fashion Nomad because it being orange red, and it is indeed orange red I'm glad I bought it!! It has just enough brightnes and I love the formula of the lipstick.
I compared it to my favourite Lady Danger:

My local MAC counter at the Bay only received the collection today, so I swatched MAP and OTH again. I happened to be wearing shadows from my WnW Vanity Palette which I keep in my gym makeup bag. Though not as pigmented, it was enough to make me stop lemming MAP, so I went home, and ended up with skipper's remorse for OTH. I just called and the last one is waiting for me! It seems like the Canada site is rarely restocked, so I'm feeling lucky!

LOL! I'm sure it looks lovely on you.
Thanks
I need to try different brushes for it. I also got SC, it's lovely with that subtle sheen. And I got Styleseeker n/p which is beautiful too, nice formula.

Does anyone else have this problem? My Supercontinental has this film that has developed over it...i have been wearing it everyday. I close it tight and put it back in my drawer each day after use. Rather than a film, it almost looks like the top layer is wearing away, maybe there was a more intense layer of color on top? But now it seems that I get less color pay off and it's just strange. Almost like I broke through a layer of overspray or something. The only other way I can describe it is to say it's like it was coated with hairspray and there is one little spot of soft color I have broken through to...but I don't even use hairspray in the same room as my makeup... Anyone else having this problem or see something like this before? TIA

Do you use clean brushes every time you use this blush? have you ever swatched it with your fingers? it sounds like maybe a layer of oil has built up on the blush? if so, you'll have to scrape the top layer off.

While I have never touched it with my fingers, I might be guilty of not cleaning my brush as frequently as I should :shock: Good point...cleaning my brushes tomorrow! I seriously was just thinking I was overdue this AM when I was getting ready for work. But on a side note, I have never experienced this with any other MAC product. From day one I have felt that this Style Seeker collection was tempremental in this regard. Others have said not to use fingers in the eyeshadows as well...when I swatched in the store, I had the same issue. The testers were hard to get any color payoff from them. It is so strange to me! But you nailed it right on the head I think with the brushes! Something with oil has come into contact withmy blush and made it like those store testers...has to be it! :bouquet:

Get a metal brush and scape of the top layer. Then follow with BeautySoClean. Repeat at least one more time.
Clean brush and following the never-double-dip rule will help to prevent this issue. I love all the new formula that MAC put out there but they are more "fragile" as the softer they are, they attract more oil and dirty resulting in a nasty build-up.
I hope that helps.
