Oh yes, I will.

My confirmed list = Grand Duo, Earth To Earth, Hot Planet

The sneaky creatures wanting to jump on my list = Moon River, Love Rock

The undecided one = Light Over Dark

The 99% sure I'm not getting one = Intenso

I got Love Rock, Moon River and Hot Planet from this collection. I tried really hard to pick favorites but you know what? Each of them does something special for me!! Hot Planet is just peachy goodness on my neutral skintone. Love Rock is a gorgeous flush color and Moon River, well...Moon River just makes me happy

I considered going back to pick up Intenso and Grand Duo, but I think Intenso looked a bit unnatural with my paleness and Grand Duo looked like a deeper version of Love Rock on me for some reason. Definitely a swatch in person kinda deal!

 

[TISH1124]

yeah I got a feeling I will be picking up Hot Planet tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow ... Oh sorry....Got all caught up in Annie for a minute there

 

[sparkle1017]

^^^ You will love Hot Planet! I went today to pick up my Sugarsweet haul and ended up picking up Moon River and Hot Planet. I also liked Grand Duo and Light Over Dark but didn't want to overdo it with the spending...oh wait, I did that anyway! I may end up going back at some point for Grand Duo. Why oh why do I have to be so addicted?!?!

Ummm...If I had to pick only two which ones should I get? Grand duo, Hot Planet, or Love Rock?

I would say Hot Planet & Love Rock, but I'm biased!! But definitely Hot Planet..must must get it...

 

[TISH1124]

Grand Duo and Love Rock (if you don't have Pleasantry or Tippy) would be my 1st choices

But Hot Planet is now on my list...so I like all three

 

[gespiritu]

Just picked up Hot Planet and it is gorgeous!

I am new to MAC but have become so addicted. I bought way too much today. I just want everything I see!

 

[ladyJ]

I don't have pleasantry but I do have tippy.

If you have Blonde MSf then Tippy + Blonde MSF = Love Rock

so get the other two if you can only pick two

 

[ladyJ]

^^Thanks TISH. I'm glad you didn't tell me I needed all three! haha!

 

[rocking chick]

I had bought 6 pcs out of the whole collection. Here is my rankings for them

1. Moon River - pretty in the pan and on the face too, absolutely perfect! Already got a backup.

2. Love Rock - pretty in the pan too with a nice sweet pink but might be too pinky on me when I applied too heavily.

3. Grand Duos - unique too especially the veinings part.

4. Earth To Earth - Oh I love love love the veinings part, that's all.

5. Intenso - too pigmented and red for my likings.

6. Hot Planet - have not try out too.

 

[clslvr6spd]

Well, I am in fucking love with Earth to Earth, Love Rock & Moon River!

Those would be my FOR SURE picks for anyone!

Adina and everyone else on team no I am sorry to say that I cracked. I am now the proud owner of Grand Duo mineralize blush and I am not at all a bit sorry that I cracked!! It is insanely gorgeous on my NW15 skin. It is one of the best blushes that I have used in a long time.

I almost got Moon River after seeing Karin's (purrtykitty) swathces/pictures but it was too light on me. I felt that I could dupe it with a MSF. And I loved Love Rock but it looked very similar to Pleasantry which I have.

So I am very, very happy with my purchase!!

But I made a pact with myself that I am not getting anymore!

 

[TISH1124]

Those were my two of choice too Katie!!! yeahhh we cracked on the same one...Grand Duo !!
Just praying I don't crack on Hot Planet tomorrow

Anyhow I'm lemming for Moon River now (surprise, surprise lol). I just need a little more enabling before I run out to get it. And god forbid, I'm thinking about Love Rock too, even though I already have Tippy and Blonde MSF.

Hi! I'm sorry for low quality of pics, I have made it with webcam without any flash. The light have you seen is the blush, My skin tone isn't fair, I'm nc35 mac I think, generally I use number 3 o 4 of the others foundation. I have made a video about this blush, but I don't love see myself on web , sound of my voice seems to me so orrible

, I can put online for you for few time, I hope it helps you. YouTube - sparklinggloss's Channel from minutes 2:30 (it's in italian)

sorry for my english, I don't study it from many time.

 

[Corvs Queen]

You English is fine. It doesn't have to be perfect to get your point across. I'm sure your English is better than my Italian.

Hmm. Is Moon River visible on you? If it's light on your NW15 skin then it might not work for me...

I'm glad that you're loving Grand Duo though.

Great that you're around NC35, because I am too.

How does Moon River show on your skin? I couldn't see any video when I clicked on the link.

Hmm, sorry but no. I think you need one more - Grand Duo - before you're done.
