My Dearest Rockin 
....And that is exactly what has driven me to spend WAYYYYY too much time and money on this collection...if every shadow is different then do I need every single version of every single shadow????? It makes me crazy!
The good news is that you are not all that far from your nearest CCO which is at Gunwharf Quays and will undoubtably have a load of this collection in a few weeks. Here is the Google Maps Link to it (if you don't already know about it

I've heard of Gunwharf Quays, although I didn't know exactly where it was. According to the online AA route map, it's about 102 miles away and about 2 hours drive, and I don't have transport. I can't afford bus or train fares for me and my 2 kids. MAC need to hurry up and get a store or counter in my town - it is the county town, after all

I drove down there last summer, it's gorgeous there, a big outlet store by the harbour. Lovely. But it did take me about 90 minutes, so I won't be doing it again in a hurry.

If you mean the Mineralize All-Over lotion that first came out with Warm&Cozy, it might just be the best lotion I've ever used (even competing with Chanel). I love love love how it feels, the subtle fresh glow it gives and how smoothly it goes and sinks fast in to my skin. I could bathe in it because it's so light and not greasy at all (but does excellent job on moisturizing). It makes me look radiant.

Oh and my Unsurpassable looks completely different from both above! I do love the white/gold patch, but wish I had more purple. At least my Jade's Fortune has lots of blue!
OMG, I wouldn't have recognised that as the same shadow at all!
I know it's in the nature of these things to differ by virtue of the way they are made, but you would think they could get some kind of similarity in them, wouldn't you?

So, I just tried on Goldstone - & I really like it on me
It didn't turn orange at all. Just a really pretty soft glowy very slight sunkissed bronze - very subtle, more like a warmth. The nipple on mine was medium, mostly the pearl color with only freckles of rose.
I also used it slightly heavy (just the bronze color) on my eyelids, then the pearly to highlight the browbone & lined with a very thin top lashline black liner - very very pretty. I felt that it kind of completed the "I have a little bit of a tan' look Great for no makeup makeup days.
I don't know if you are supposed to be able to use them on the eyes, but then I do a lot of things I'm not supposed to do

what do you think of the 234 brush?
If anyone has any questions about any of these MES (or MSFs...brushes....etc) I am all about them at the moment and would be more than happy to give my 2 cents. Obviously!

Oh wow Blue Sheen is such a mess to work with. Blah..Perhaps I should try Fyrannae's Pixie Apoxy. I heard it really helps.
And Gem of Roses is really actually quite boring and I do notice a drying effect.

Oh, Goldstone also looks lovely dusted over Something Special Cremeblend blush. It gives it just a bit of a perky pretty peachy undertone

Hi BBMorgan, My name is actually Morgan How cool is that?
I really like the 234 but I can see that not everyone would. It is a bit soft and "loose"....
not as firm as the 239 (by a long stretch) and much slimmer than the 217, but I still think it is a great shape and length, especially for picking up the MES, then spraying Fix+, then drawing across the lids. I don't have a lot of "real estate" when it comes to eyelids, so I really like that the bristles are long and slender, it makes it feel like I am painting across them instead of dabbing or pressing. I have not tried it for any kind of cream shadows or paint pots, and I am not sure that it is stiff enough for that, but I definitely like it for these shadows. And I especially like it for its shape and size and maneuverability. Thumbs up!

I got CP with a HUGE dark nipple and JF with no black visible, just yellow and glitter blue. I love it!!! Ok...so my newest realization after my visit..Big Bounce should have been reseases with these because they are simply amazing with them as bases.

It is amazing the differences in tooks of the same e/s. One would think they were totally different. Mine are wearing very well over TFSI, even after babysitting my teething grandson for 11 hours yesterday, still looked the same as when it was applied.\
Thank you Elegant, I'm loving Clarity.
