I don't know Erine - I just swatched Agate and it sure seems like it has a lot of brown to me, especially, after all of the red frost sparklies fell away like fallout from hell.
MAC describes it as: mineral brown sparkled with red frost
I was left with a nice enough, almost, mid tone and subtle plum brown - less plum more brown.
To make myself feel better that Agate wasn't a complete waste of money on Lustres that don't perform as advertised I popped some Blackened Red Reflects Glitter on top of it.
With the Blackened Red Reflects Glitter on top - it, actually, looks the way it supposed to in the pot. Lustres!
100 Strokes couldn't compare, as I dont think it has the brown in it that Agate has, according, to my observation.
Erin
...Danelle? Any thoughts?

Yup, that's exactly what I did! But they're so nice about it. Lol, I think they see dollar signs when I come walkin' up!
D - you are the hotness without Blonde MSF, but you are extra-special hotness with it!!
I really must try mine out tomorrow. So far, only Redhead has been loved.
TamEva - I am so glad you found your shadows! That was a fantastic bunch that went a-missin'. Innuendo is one of my faves!

That is good news, Elaine! I've always thought that Redhead is meant for use as a highlighter, but if it shows up dark enough as a blush for your NC30 skin, and I'm NC35, I think it'll work for me too!
Ok, so Redhead's in my list now, and Brunette too? If it looks good on you, hopefully it will look good on me because our skintone is almost similar.
And yes, I'm proud of you! No more violence from me in the future.
And you'll have more money for future collections and the MSFs coming along with them!

^^ Agree with jenntoz. With the amount of makeup we have, I hardly hit pan on anything. I agree that sometimes I feel uneasy if I don't get a backup on an item that I really adore, but I talk some sense into myself that I will never ever need those backups if I don't hit pan on anything.

Rbella, I am completely and utterly won over by the photos!
Which means.. I need to get all 3 MSFs now (Redhead and Brunette enablement from Elaine, Blonde enablement from the mighty rbella ).
Shhh I hear my wallet crying.

Yay! I'm glad I didn't get a Redhead back-up! Because I want the peachy one from Sugar Sweet! Aren't you proud of me? No violence was needed after all to make me not get a Redhead back-up!

I can't help it. I am likely to always get backups of things I adore (the upcoming collections included). Please tell me I am not the only one who gets "MACups"  . |

I got the brunette MSF yesterday and I can't wait to try it! The Redhead MSF was pretty, but it was too close to my beloved Petticoat and I wanted to go with something bronzier, instead of pinkish. I'll definitely be using it as a blush and overall face finisher.

I still have not used blonde or brunette MSF. After seeing Rbella's FOTD with Blonde I might have to pull that sucker out tomorrow. I have just not been in the makeup mood lately but maybe putting a new MSF on would help!
