Sorry ladies, first time uploading pics. I'll try this again. These picture are not doing these swatches justice! I'm using my Blackberry. I am NW 45, keep in mind these swatches are on the back of my hand. With flash:
Top L-R: Heavenly Hybrid, Snapdragon, Rose Lily
Bottom:L-R: Azalea in the Afternoon and Stereo Rose

Rose Lily is a light milky pink with a lavender hint to me & subtle tiny sparkles. I have pigmented lips and horrible lighting but applied sheer this lipstick is cute. Sorry I don't think I have a similar color to compare it to (slacking on the light pink game) and I apologize for the crappy pic quality/ lighting in advanced it was taken with front facing cam pics

Thank you all for the swatches! I'm slowly getting into MAC and needed more swatches before I decide what to buy from Nordstrom.

Can someone swatch PP blush next to Orgasm? Thx!

The new SR really is a joke, compare T's swatches to the one from 2012, it's a COMPLETELY different product. I'm appalled.

I'm loving PP but I think it looks like it's going to be VERY similar to Orgasm - that was my first thought.

I don't mind the new Stereo Rose - it seems more similar to the original version from everyones pictures. Beauty Lookbook did a comparison to the 2005 and 2010 versions here:

If I just saw the pics I would think they were mislabeled by the blogger or something. The point of repromotes is so that people who missed out can get a shade. I got my Stereo Rose w Après Chic and I would have definitely been bummed if I got this new one

According to Temptalia MAC changed the PT and SR. She said "WARNING: significant differences in appearance AND in swatches for Perfect Topping & Stereo Rose in the new A Fantasy of Flowers".
Yeah, i posted that PT was completely new altogether before the collection launched.
How did we end up with Beigscapade and a messed up PT?  Did you think they tinkered with the ingredients, use new production techniques, etc?  I'm curious.   What are your thoughts on the blushes?  
I was just saying that the cost of the ingredients didn't go up. But yes, different years, batches, techniques, etc will result in variances in colours. But what people need to understand, is that PT is a new new colour (yes, same name, but new colour) this round, which i did mention before the collection launched. And that all MSFs are individually different from each other and throughout itself. So when you're using it this week, it's gonna be different from itself next week. Everyone is comparing their individual Pt to everyone else's. They're not gonna be the same. There might not be pink/purple on the top, but give it a week or two and there will be. The same applies to SR.

I ordered SR because I heard it was WOC friendly. That new Temptalia swatch looks very light. I don't want to have to dig around in the SF for weeks to get to the darker part.. there may not ever BE a darker part. I'll see what it looks like when it arrives and the decide. I don't like that they keep changing the formula. Why repromote if it's going to be a completely different product? I get subtle differences, but not a glaring difference.

Thank you! Because all the complaining is making me nervous about my SR and I feel like I shouldnt be...

I'm officially annoyed at myself for not backing up Stereo Rose when it was repromoted with Apres Chic. I hadn't used it enough to justify a backup then. I'll continue to use sparingly.

BTW Nadine, are you a late night owl, like me? Or, are you an early, early bird? It's 3:15am here in the UK and we should both be sound asleep!

Thanks for clearing that up!
Yup, I will have to do that too now. Even though I have BU.

I'm insomniac most of the time. Definitely not an early bird.

Rose Lily looks ADORABLE on you!! I hope I can pull it off too, since it's a lustre....
