if they're made the same as the current MBs, they aren't approved for the eye. but that's never stopped us, has it!?

Don't know why, but that made me laugh.

Seriously MAC, I'm sure you can do better than to repromote the Sonic Chic blushes as one-half of a new line of products.

I don't own the Sonic Chic blushes, but if I do, I'd probably be in a dilemma over whether I should purchase the Grand Duo blush just because I want half of it.

I haven't tried MAC's Mineralize stuff before, but BPBs are pure love.

I can't wait to get my hands on Moon River!

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. Mineralize Blush Duos Limited Edition $22.50 Light Over Dark - Orange yellow melange/Deep brown Moon River - Blue pink melange/Pale yellow pink Love Rock - Gold violet melange/Bright blue pink Grand Duo - Copper Pink melange/Plum Earth to Earth - Purple bronze melange/Yellow bronze Intenso - Pink gold melange/Terracotta rose Hot Planet - Copper and yellow melange/Mid-tone plum Brush $34.00 188 brush (permanent)

Well, I was thinking I could skip these, but after reading your post I am intrigued! The colour pairings don't really appeal that much to me, but I may just have to check out Moon River.

The Specktra colour story has been updated with the complete collection, pics and prices. http://www.specktra.net/forum/f250/m...r-09-a-128216/

^^ At the top of the promo pic it says Colour Ready collection

 

[AudreyNicole]

Holy crud, $22.50? Maybe I will only get one...

 

[Moxy]

The more I look at them the more I love them. Poop.

If I had to pick now (without any swatches) I'd get:

Moonriver and Love Rock = you can't beat those pinks

Intenso = golden plummy colour

Light over dark = could be an awesome cheek bronzer for pale skins

I'm with ya Moxy. See my post above where I am trying to talk myself into only buying one.

I am loving Moonriver and Love Rock. I don't think I can choose between the two. I am worried I will spend on these when them come out, and love Sugarsweet and then I won't have enough money... What's a girl to do?

I think we should set a working appointment at our corner especially because of Sugar Sweet!

Off topic, but how do you use the new smilies in your siggie?

 

[Moxy]

Steal it from someone, put it in your photobucket and then in your sig

You can add the "I am a MAC addict" etc smileys with the smileys-link but the newer MAC smileys aren't working right now since the server change. But I am sure they will work soon! They are currently in the wrong folder.

 

[Moxy]

Yeah if all of the Jeanette's smileys were in the Specktra smiley list that'd be awesome. It'd save us a lot of siggy space

And you could have even more Hamsters in your signature!
