Dark Indulgence looks like a sooty mess IMO

Look here

http://www.thestyleandbeautydoctor....ze-eyeshadow-richly-revered-cremesheen-glass/

she also has swatches of the Coral blush and such which is NOT WOC friendly at all. Looks lovely in the pan though

I was hoping that Warmth of Coral blush will be WOC friendly. Even though I will use it as a highlight with my coral blushes. Also I'm going to swatch Dark Indulgence myself when I go to my counter on the 7th to see if I still want it.

After all, it's just a grade, which doesn't make a product automatically good or bad. It's the same with movies; if one is nominated for an award doesn't mean that I will love the film. So just take any grades with a grain of salt and try it for yourself.

Anyway, looking at all the swatches, I realized that the size of the inner circle of the MSFs varies greatly. I hope my preferred F/S store gets MSFs where the inner circle is not humongous (as this seems to be the glittery part).

And there is still no swatches of the pink MSF or did I miss it somewhere?

I'm thinking Crystal Pink might be the best one for me, if I can afford to add an MSF to my list (what with Fashion Flower coming out at the same time) but I need to see it on paler skin first, as I'm very pale myself.

Same here. I like Pearl, but it seems to have a coppery-bronze cast, which is nice, but not for every day. Well, in ten days, we can try it out for ourselves.

Is anybody getting the Warmth of Coral blush? It does not seem to be very unique, but I might be wrong.

Unfortunately I can only try it if I buy it, as it's a long way to the nearest MAC counter or store. I'll just have to hope for more swatches online before launch day.

I def know I want Gem of Roses ls and Lush Amber ls. I love lipsticks that give your lips a hint of shiny color when I dont feel like wearing a heavy colored lip. GOR is darn pretty! T says that its more for warm toned, but I dont agree. I love her blog but sometimes I dont really agree with her ratings and/or reviews.

The only mes I'm sure of is Golden Gaze. It's so hard to decide on the other mes cause everyones swatches look different! On vampy varnish and Temp Hint of Sapphire look meh but I remember a while back there was a swatch and it looked gorgeous. I cant remember what site it was on. It was swatches on the top of her hand. I do love how theres all the colors in the mes, cause over different colored bases you can get a different effect ya know?

I might get a msf but I really dont use the one I have that often. No blushes for me, I've got plenty right now.

Gosh I hope it doesnt come out next Thurs! Im set for July 7th...get to the store early before I get ready for my wedding lol I'll be in Vegas so no online for me. Which is going to be nice, but I'll have to pick my colors now and then just grab them on July 7th. I'll have no time as my wedding starts at 1 and I have to be there by 12:45. Luckally I'm staying in the Ceasars where the pro-store is. I would have them put my items on hold but you know how that is...somestimes they'll give it away.

AudreyNicole...our B-day is on the same day! SP will be a great present for us.

[quote name="Hilde" url="/forum/thread/174559/mac-semi-precious-discussion/1560#post_2133986"]What are you cool fair toned ladies getting?

I'm really wanting gem of roses and feeling blush now after seeing swatches and reviews. Temptalia said gem of roses is warm toned, but it doesn't look overly so to me. It looks like something would suit me, so I'm getting it anyways.
[/quote] I am nw10-15 and here's my list! 2-3 of the brushes The 2 dark creamsheen glosses (maybe geo pink too if it doesn't lean to warm on me) Feeling flush blush (maybe if it looks subtle applied with the 187!) Hint of sapphire, rare find and the pale pink mes ( although I will swatch these in person) I know that the mes are made up of different colours so when swatches they will look a little different each time but am I the only one who thinks they look like completely different colours on some of the blog sites. Hint of sapphire for example looks fairly dark on temptalias site but almost a baby blue/grey combined on other sites and both swatch wet and dry...

It will be online for Pro on the 30th and regular MAC online on the 5th. It will be in stores and counters on the 7th.

I wonder if July 4th - as a holiday - will affect when the collection goes online. It might only show up on Tuesday morning or afternoon rather than on midnight the night before.

My current list:

- MSF Pink - probably the best for NW complexion
- MSF Pearl - seems the best to give a nice glow during the late summer. It seems less suitable for rainy Fall days
- Pressed Amber blush - probably great if you go for a slightly dirty cowboy/girl look

- All 4 brushes - I might leave out the blending brush as it seems easily dupable


My maybe-list:

- MSF Goldstone - it's probably too shiny/glittery/orange and/or golden
- MSF Rose Quartz - it looks like any other pinkish MSF, but an in-person swatch might change my mind
- Warmth of Coral blush - it's a nice-to-have but how many corals does one need (especially as My Paradise is rather coral-y)
- Feeling Flush - I need to swatch it in person. It looks very pigmented (that's not necessarily bad), but IMO blending out mineralized products does not always work as all what is left is sheen/glitter. This might be different with the new formula.

Goldstone is shiny, but not glittery, orange or golden - it's actually pretty sweet. I'm NC15 and my bronzers include a sheer cream with some glitter, a matte cream (Tan Tint), a natural finish powder (LLB), and Goldstone will complete my bronzing needs.

I wouldn't suggest too much blending for Feeling Flush, it'll just disappear - just apply very lightly in the first place with a 188 and it'll look fine - it's not a super original color, even for MBs, but if you don't have anything like it, it's nice. Warmth of Coral is the same situation - I'd say the closest recent color is My Highland Honey from Tartan Tale - if you have room for a yellowish coral, then it's nice. This new MB formula is really nice and smooth, but they sure picked some safe colors to introduce it with.

I will definitely have a good look at it.

BTW, Liba, did you swatch any of the MSFs wet?
