OMG when i moved I left my two caboodles kits there haha they had most of my le stuff from 08-10 Heatherette, Barbie, Neo Sci Fi, Fafi, Dame edna etc and she chucked it out when she turned my room into her sewing room :( I was so sad!

Ok ladies, sorry for the wait, had technical difficulties so hubby helped lol Excuse my lighting as well had no time to set up lights... Here are the product pics & swatches: On the left Alpa Girl, On the right Pearl Blossom... Swatches: On my left fist, I've separated the Alpha Girl swatch & Pearl Blossom with a brow pencil line... I put my right hand in the photo so you can see how it's illuminated my skin without making it look ashy :eyelove: Pearl blossom is a beautiful pearlized glow - i thought it would be ashy but they got it just right. Alpha girl is THE BEST beauty powder I have in my collection from MAC. You can use it to subtley add a luminous glow ALL. Ova. Yo. Face.  Normally the BP's arent suitable to use all over for us tanned and brown girls but this is a winner. The lens isnt picking it up as my eyes see it but its perfect for us medium and brown skin girls. You MUST see it in person. My swatched hand next to my bare hand so you can see the subtle color difference & glow :) I loaded more Pearl blossom on so you can really see it built up... Opposite side of that line is still Alpha Girl. Other swatches are Reel Sexy l/s, Diva ish l/s, Preening e/s & Bouffant e/s  Hope this helps!
You're awesome, thank you!

Only two lipsticks on my to buy list from this collection. Diva-ish and Make Me Gorgeous. I still have plenty of Silly to play with if Silly is the name of the other matte lipstick in this collection. :D

Here is T's review of Alpha Girl. She has Fun Ending listed as a dupe but the lighting looks different in both swatch pictures. Does anyone happen to have both to directly compare? Thanks!
They are definitely different. My photos don't really show how bright Alpha Girl is, it's almost like a neon, which my camera didn't really pick up. Fun Ending is more pink and beige, very subdued, wearable and not as matte. My Alpha Girl is horribly dry and powdery though.





Alpha Girl on the left, Fun Ending on the right.

both BPs look so good but I don't want to get both bc I know I won't end up using one. I'm leaning more towards Alpha Girl but I'm thinking it's too pink for NC 42
