MAC - Grand Duos Discussion

[coachkitten]

I finally got moon river from the clearance bin and I can't wait to try it. I figured if I am still lemming that blush after this long that I needed to get it.

I think you will love it, Katie.

This combo sounds beautiful. I like the brunette msf, but I don't know if I love it. Pairing it with Moonriver sounds amazing, I would have never thought of that! Hmm...I've found myself coming back to wanting some of these grand duos before they're gone. The only one I've tried is Earth to Earth, which was lovely, but I didn't buy it. Part of me really wants one, but I can't decide if it would be smarter to wait for Color Craft.

Earth To Earth is gorgeous, seriously.

If you're still thinking about it, then maybe you should get it.

I feel like I've got model cheekbones when I put it on.

I am wondering if there is a dupe for the plum side of Hot Planet? Has there ever been any other mineralize blush that was plum or simiar?

No, there was no plum blush with Sonic Chic last year. Those were the first mineralized blushes.

fad-dabulous MB from colour craft is identical to hot planet, but mixed, not just one side.

I caved and after seeing Color Craft, I had to have Earth to Earth. I managed to track it down at a store--it sounds like they're in the process of RTV-ing them, if they haven't already, in case anyone's wondering. Omg, what was I thinking when I waited this long? I absolutely love it! I can't believe I didn't even get it during the F&F sale!!! I"m just happy I got my hands on one.

does anyone else think that cheeky bronze is similar to earth to earth solid side? anyone have both?

 

[dreamer246]

I have both. It is similar but not 100% alike. Cheeky Bronze has a distinctive goldish sheen to it, while Earth To Earth is slightly darker and browner.

i wish i purchased love rock!

[SmokeSignal16]

^Yeah it's pretty darn close, I have all 3 and I know someone had did a swatch combo with all them compared around here somewhere..

 

[dreamer246]

Yup it was Angel Bunny's swatch..

Fast forward a few months, I have put Moon River up for sale/swap. It is just too light for my liking, I love bright/bold/dramatic blush, and this one's just not working for me.

I use Light Over Dark the most.

 

[SmokeSignal16]

Yeah I love these blushes soo much! I need to give them some more lovin' since Color Craft kind of took over lol

 

[dreamer246]

^^ Yeah I know what you mean! Cheeky Bronze has replaced my once beloved Earth To Earth as my go-to neutral glowy blusher.

Shame on me, really. The duos used to be my fave blushes ever.

 

[gigglegirl]

my Moon River is no longer a dome. I <3 it, if nothing else I want MAC to re-release this!!!

 

[stv578]

Hannah, did you get Hand Finish from CC? I find it to be pretty close to Moon River. If I ever get the opportunity to go to another warehouse sale and I see Moon River, I'll be sure to pick one up for you.
