I completely agree with you. I think the problem is that people over-rely too much on reviews of bloggers rather than attempting to form their own opinion. It is important to keep in mind your personal preferences, how you like to work with a product, what color pay-off you want, etc. For example, a lot of reviews for Surf Baby rated My Paradise's gold overlay in a negative way, but personally, I think it is the best feature of MP. So who is right? I would say both parties, but each of them has a different taste and dislikes. Same for Semi-Precious: some of us like glitter/shimmer, other simply cannot deal with any kind of glitter and/or fall-out.
Personally, I am very happy with the quality of Semi-Precious, but just because I like the MSF and the brushes doesn't mean they are perfect or better than any other collection. As stated above, it is important to test out the product in store - and I realize that this is not always possible. My advice is to check your stash and compare your go-to products with the qualities that the SP collection has to offer before you buy and/or order online. It's sad to see bad reviews on bloggers' website or Make Up Alley just because a person had to move out of their comfort zone (in terms of application technique) or simply applies a product the wrong way. IMO, these are not objective product reviews but simply a description of a personal experience (there is nothing wrong with it, but it should be considered with a grain of salt when evaluating a collection).
Finally, there is nothing wrong with passing a collection. The Fall collections are just around the corner and there will be new and exciting products. Happy hauling.
[/quote] Oh for sure, but I think some times bloggers form opinions based on more popular blogs too - and you get a product description without someone actually working with the product. I think most reviews will be biased but it's skill to be objective even when something isn't to your taste.

[/quote] I really really love using this as a blush - it's such a subtle flush and it the slight sheen gives my skin a gorgeous glow without being too obvious. Adore
