The one being promoted now is Limited Edition. The difference is that the LE is higher quality than the Special Edition that came out with Novel Twist.

Re: MAC - Sonic Chic Discussion
Okay I just got back as well.

I posted swatches in the swatch forum. =)

As you all know I have been ill for quite sometime so all the excitement kinda went down the drain. But that changed once I started to play around with the blushes. I honestly didn't know what to get as I didn't sit here on specktra to know or observe what colors were pretty and what were not.
But as I swatched all of them on my hand, Love thing, Gentle and Merrily struck me the most.

The other ones were nice but Nuance looked exactly like Hipness on me. Warm Soul looked like Eversun, just as I expected. Dainty and Pleasantry didn't show up on me at all. I wanted Pleasantry so badly but even the MA Margo said it was too light for me. Gleeful was pretty but since I loved Merrily, it was out of the question. I think the other one was Love Joy which was extremely pretty and I can see this color on darker skintones but I figured it would be too dark for me.

As for the 181 it is soooo cute. lol But not a necessity for me to have since I use a angled brush to apply my blushes and the 182 to buff it out.

Overall I am pleased with my purchase and I just love the gold in all of these. Its perfect for any season. =)

And yes, I'd totally petition for the 181 to be made permanent! Or maybe they'll surprise us like the 188. =O
I'm Going to Hillcrest tomorrow! Haha maybe we'll bump heads

the 181 is too small for the MSFN, but works great with these blushes. i'd suggest the 182 for the MSFN.

i seriously love these blushes. who cares about the blushes in the perm collection? mineralize blushes are fab! i love the slight shimmer and the amount of pigmentation they have. good stuff.
I love gentle for the subtle light pink with gold shimmer, it is awesome.

I want to cry but Love thing is getting returned because it is too red on my skin. I think I will get Love Joy, Nuance or Merrily.

Now if you have Sweet as Cocoa or Joyous PB blush, do Nuance or Love Joy look similiar in color without the pearl. I love Joyous, it just pops on my skin.

Re: MAC - Sonic Chic Discussion
I got mine today. If MAC made BP Blushes and all of the mineralize blushes perm, I swear that is all I would wear. Gorgeous!

So what are the mineralize blushes MBs? We now have MSFs, MSFNs, MES and now MBs. This is gettin' complicated.

Those BPB are the best blushes ever! So do you have a favorite color out of the new Mineralize Blushes?

Re: MAC - Sonic Chic Discussion
Omg you definitely need to use a VERY LIGHT HAND on the darker colors like Love Thing and Merrily. I just made myself look worse than I already am. I look like I have a really bad rash.

But now that I am swatching them on my face instead of my hand. Merrily and Love Thing look alike. :\ I might return one of them since they are both darker and it will take a while until I use up one. I would exchange it but I don't think I want another color. Hmmm...

i do not have sweet as cocoa or joyous, sorry. based on swatches i have seen on here [take this with a grain of salt]: gleeful looks like a darker version of joyous. love joy does look similar to sweet as cocoa, but love joy has more pink. hth.
