IF I get one (and that is a big if right now), it'll be Earth to Earth (Purple bronze mélange / Yellow brown), because that purple/bronze thing intrigues the heck outta me. I'm drawn to it every time....but I definitely need to see more swatches.

I think I'll either pick up a Love Thing or Gentle instead.

Oh yes, I'll rather pick up the Sonic Chic blushes. They're cheaper anyway, and I think they have better color payoff too.

I'm going to check them out in person before I decide. Since I'm so fair, sometimes these kind of colors work for me. We'll see, but I'll be happy not to have to get these and save for Style Warriors.

Ohhh from those swatches I think I'll still pick up a Moon River and Love Rock, maybe Grand Duo, but I will still see it in person to be on the safe side.

Good Lord those blushes look like glitter bombs! And at $22 a pop!?! No thanks! My money is going towards Sugar Sweet!

Thank you so much for the pictures geeko!

I like Grand Duo and Intenso, but the price tag is insane and as mentioned, they look like glitter bombs. I'm skipping these.

The glitter would be ok for me. But I still have 5 blushes from Sonic Chic and want one MSF from Sugar Sweet.

Moreover I have spend my money on HK this month, for me the better choice

Well maybe you'll be able to get ONE of them!!! You know tax returns are coming haha jk!!

So I've been wanting moon river but I was reading the threads and everyone seemed to think it was too sheer. THEN I saw the swatches geeko (thanks) and now I want moon river again AND love rock. For a minute there I thought I was going to be able to pass this collection but of course, a minute always fades away. Now I'm back on and wanting these blushes! I will still have to see them in person though.

The MA tried Love Rocks and Intenso on me yesterday but I came home without getting anything from this collection. I like Intenso better, maybe I'll get it the next time I go to MAC.

they are different. these are different colors with a different kind of shimmer. i wouln't say they're glitter bombs like, say, new vegas, but they do have bigger shimmer particles than the current MBs.
