Alright ladies, my box came in just now so here are the pictures!

First I'll post the veining of my Perfect Topping:


It looks like I got some pretty veining with mine, but it does swatch beige as you'll see in the next picture:


On the left is Perfect Topping MSF, the middle is Shell Pearl BP, and the right is Soft and Gentle MSF, my skin is NW15, natural light.

Ladies in the comments have been comparing PT to Shell Pearl and Soft and Gentle as dupes, but on me PT is a bit different. It's lighter than both for sure. Shell Pearl is much pink/peachier and Soft and Gentle is a little darker, bronzer and much more sparkly. While I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't lean pinker like I thought it would, to me it is different enough to justify keeping since I have a highlighter addiction, which can be hard when you are as pale as me. I will say though that half the reason I love MSFs is that they look pretty in the compact. Also, PT is BUTTERY soft, like holy crap. It is smooth and silky and has the best texture of my whole MSF collection. If texture for you is a big thing, I would at least swatch it in the store, seriously. It's like swatching a kitten or something.

And finally, I have swatches of the fluidlines below:

On the left is Phlox Garden, in the middle is Sassy Moss, and on the right is Ivy from the Mickey Contractor collection in case anyone was curious, in natural light. I did an eyeliner swatch on the left and a larger opaque to sheer swatch on the right so you get a good idea of the colors overall.

Ivy is much darker and greener than Sassy Moss. Sassy Moss has a gorgeous sparkly almost iridescent but not quite quality. Phlox Garden looks a little patchy because it is much matter that the other two, but you can see the eye liner swatch looks fine compared to the large swatch. It does buildup nicely and sheer out well, but it's a little harder to apply IMO.

If you have any questions about any of these swatches or products, let me know!

Went to order HH and lily white piggie from Nordies and just saw that Macy's restocked their Huggables so I bought a bunch of those instead as my box with Dreaming Dahlia, Naked Bud, and Pink Lily are supposed to arrive today. I adore the huggables so I figured I'd stock up on those instead.

L to R: Snapdragon, Bubblegum, Pink Popcorn.

Snapdragon is SOOOO MUCH like my beloved Bubblegum! It is not as "purply" as Pink Popcorn….more like the Lilac-y Pink with shimmer of the Bubblegum. I may have to buy 10 of Snapdragon! LOL!!

I am NC40 by the way.
