Impossible...get both!
Oh no.
I really wish the 287 wasn't LE, so I could get it some time later and get another MES instead.

Silver Birch if you want something versatile that can go simple for day or very metallic and vampy for a light smokey nighttime look.
Ice for a perfect NW10 shimmery sparkly nude (though you get the same color but with extra glitter bits if you buy Light Touch PP, which is perm)

I was told the brush is perm...hummm.Oh no.It's so hard to choose, but I don't think I can afford both with everything else I want. (I want the Chanel spring highlighter too, and I need to shop for clothes.)

Thanks so much, liba!

Ah, that's one of my favorite dreams- winning the lotto and just going hog wild on every collection EVER! I would buy goodies and RAOK them to Specktrettes too!Happy New Year! I hope we all get magically rich so we can buy all the MAC that we could ever want
Oh, really? I thought I read that it's LE. Well, that would be great if it's perm.

If you have the nude one from Electric Cool it is almost identical to Ice.Thanks so much, liba!I think I go with Ice then. Maybe I can still get Silver Birch later on.

I'm hoping to go clothes shopping tomorrow. I realized last week that I hadn't bought any new clothes this fall or winter. I'm hoping to catch some sales. I just hope I can stay away from the makeup counters while I'm there.
To stay on topic: I did order Alpine Bronze and Amber Glow blushes, Cozy Up, Hot Chocolate and Rich Experience. I don't know that Amber Glow will look like much on me but I just loved the swatch on http://www.weekendramblings.com/2012/12/mac-apres-chic-swatches-makeup-spring-2013.html It looked so nice next to Alpine Bronze. I'm imagining they will look wonderful together.

I was being sooooo good. Only pre-saled Hot Chocolate lipstick and Nice & Simple mineralize balm (both have turned out to be excellent for me) and Firm Form and Taupe Shape from STRENGTH)
A few days before it went live i added Porcelain Pink to my order, 'cuz i'm afraid i'm going to use up Blonde degradé.
When i picked it up i grabbed a Strong Woman l/s.
A few days ago i went back and bought Fireside, Frost at Midnight, Silver Birch e/s.
So much for my low-buy resolve.
Sigh.

I have both Redhead and Blonde MSF and love them both on my neutral 15-20 skin! Porcelain Pink is close to Blonde in base color, which is why i caved in and got it. The biggest difference is that Blonde has cool frost, while Porcelain Pink has gold. The base of Redhead is pale peachy-salmon instead.

YAY we got another one!!
OMG don't tell anyone, but I think LOVE HC, I wore it with dervish ll and havana on the eyes, and I like the plummy nude color. I probably should have backed this one up.

I haven't recreated it yet, but I did love it in the store.

Me too! I like the control i get with the 188, so i can get that color JUST exactly where i want it. I'm not a fluff-it all-over-my-face kinda blush guy. Most so-called blush brushes are way too big for me.
Before i got the 188 i was using a very soft fluffy angled eye shadow brush (!!), then buffing the blush and/or highlight and/or contour with my powder blush to blend it (that way, no color streaks).
I luuuuv my MAC 188.
