Soft-shimmer super-shine pearl in a pretty tricolour veining to enhance and glorify cheekbones, followed with the pop and dimension of solid colour shimmer without an overly frosted look. The 188 Small Duo Fibre Face Brush makes the transition magnificent. A sophisticated but simple new way to get you vital minerals. Moon River - blue pink mélange / pale yellow pink Love Rock - Gold violet mélange / bright blue pink Grand Duo - Copper pink mélange / plum Light over Dark - Orange yellow mélange / deep brown Earth to Earth - Purple bronze mélange / yellow brown Hot Planet - Copper yellow mélange / mid-tone plum Intenso - Orange yellow mélange / deep brown PLUS=Brush 188 Small duo fibre face ( flat-topped, full circular brush for application and blending of blush and powder. )

Love Rock & Moon River .. come to mama!

I totally agree! I am thankful that the only two that appeal to me are Moon Rive & Love Rock. Saves me more money for Sugar Sweet.

I asked Bjooti how glittery these are and she answered:
"Glamqueen undrade i kommentarerna till pressvisningsinlägget hur pass glittriga Grand Duos var. Jag skulle vilja säga att de skimrar mer än vad de glittrar, men nog tycker jag mig kunna minnas ett och annat glitterkorn bland dem också (men jag vågar inte svära på det)"
translated "I'd rather say they're shimmery than glittery, but I also remember one glittery chunk or two (but I wouldn't swear on it)"

I'm glad I'm not interested in this collection at all. It's gonna be rough enough just with sugar sweet in my future!

 

[GlamQueen21]

Ok, now I know what blushes that I want from that collection. Both Grand Duo and Hot Planet. I might purchase the 188 brush next month and then get both blushes so that I save up for the Sugary Sweet Collection.

Seeing the product photos on T emptalia...Earth to Earth is really intriguing me. That bright swirl of purple is so very interesting! But definitely likin' Moon River and Love Rock. I can't resist mineralize face products of any kind, especially blushes (have really been getting into cheek products lately!) so this is my kind of collection!

I'll have to see how the MSFs are in the Sugar Sweet collection to make a proper judgment though.

 

[RayannaBanana]

What color is Intenso suppose to be? It says deep brown but the picture isn't. I think there was a mix up with Intenso and Light over Dark. This is going to bug me.

 

[Ernie]

I want the lighter ones as blush and I'll probably get the deeper ones and use as shadow.

 

[genduk26]

i never buy mineralize blush. so i'll wait for the reviews these blushes. i prefer MSFs over these blushes though.

You should get the sugar sweet MSFs, then!

Why do I dislike every single one of these so much?

Because they are really not very original? I mean, I can do what I do 90% of the time and use lightscapade/porcelain pink with pleasantry/dainty/gentle and get the same effect.

Now the Sugar Sweet MSFs I am all over.

'cause they kind of look like ass? (Sorry!)

So a little bird told me these are extremely pigmented and designed to last years.

Think the new view duos shimmery side. Even the pale ones go on very pigmented. An extreme light hand is pretty important when applying them :3

 

[MAC_Fafinette14]

Very pigmented MSF/blushes, sounds good...Moon River, get your pigmented ass over here.

 

[BunnyBunnyBunny]

I didn't get to touch these myself, but they're said to be EXTREMELY pigmented. Like the most pigmented blushes to ever grace the MAC counter. A little bit goes a long way.

As already said, they are duos, and have one marble-like side, and a solid side, both with a frosty pearlized finish.
