I wouldn't say it compares to MC Sur, which is more like VV Darkley my Dear, but I could be wrong. PA seems to be much more brown with a rosey undertone, whereas the Sur and DMD are more rosey with a brown undertone. Do you have DMD?
No, I don't. I have mainly pink cheek products, and nothing in that colour family. So PA seems like a good first.


Temptalia rates Quartz Fusion an F

Please get back to us on these. The ma I talked to (a new one) said the smaller eye brush is similar in size and all to the #217. The 217 is my fav. I have 2 and could not live without it.

I really need to just stop coming here. I am desperate for Hint of Sapphire. I mean really desperate for it.
That is the periwinkle eyeshadow color I've been searching for. Going to have to give in & buy it. I am trying
very hard to resist all the other beautiful shadows, the msf, the blushes and the brushes. I am also going to
try and only get two lipsticks (Gem of Roses & One of a Kind). Oh Lordy. Please be up on the website tomorrow so I
can do my ordering & then wait for the other collections to come around.

You will probably have to be patient until Monday night or Tuesday daytime (due to the holiday), unless you order it from the Pro site.

That was the best i could do, I took loads of pics and these were the best. I know this is gonna sound stupid but its a matter of trust lol. I say they are almost identical. If you have night porter...DONT get dark indulgence. It would be a wate of money. They are dupes.

OK, my list has changed yet again after seeing Christine's latest batch of reviews. Quartz Fusion is gone, I don't really feel like dealing with major glittery fallout. Faux Gold is now a maybe. I've already got plenty of gold and bronze eyeshadows, so I don't really need another one.
My for certain list:
Pearl MSF
Geo Pink CSG
Gem of Roses LS
Golden Gaze MES
Blue Sheen MES
Smoked Ruby MES
Dark Indulgence MES
234
235
128

They're dupes if you usually look good in dark green - if this color is deadly for you, though - see my comments above! :)

Liba- is quartz fusion mes worth getting in your opinion. It's getting mixed reviews. Karlas swatches are amazing but Christine review said it wasn't great. Although she said that alot of the colours didn't swatch well or hadn't got great colour pay off but people who have got them on this forum are raving about the colour pay off. Really rate Christines reviews highly but Karlas swatches look amazing. What's your opinion and is quartz fusion worth getting? Sorry about long winded post but I am confused! Piarpreet- those comparison swatches are fab! I am defo getting hint of sapphire

Thanks to Piarpreet, Hint of Sapphire is back on my list, and I'm not usually one for blue eyeshadows.

So my fav ma let me see everything today and I can say this is really one of the times where T's swatches were not totally accurate. All of the eyeshadows were incredibly pigmented and I swatched them dry. My ma said she liked Clarity, Unsurpassable, Hint of Sapphire, and Jade's fortune so I didn't really swatch the darker shadows. I put Unsurpassable and Hint of Sapphire on hold, but the other 2 looked really nice as well. There were only 3 Jade"s Fortune left. Rose quartz didn't show much color on my hand and I'm kinda tan right now. The pearl msf had a nice glowy sheen. My ma didn't have anything to say about the face brushes, but she liked the blending eye brush. She said you could place color and blend at the same time and then stuck the brush in her crease to show me.

Now I want the Crystal Pink MSF if it is as liba describes it. I need a cool dramatic highlighter, I only have warms.
I want to get another MSF, but I can't decide between Pearl and Goldstone...

Piarpreet, a zumba class will certainly be a good test to check out the staying power of the MES. Have a jolly good workout :)
