I think the middle one has a good mix.

For myself, I would choose the one next to yours, as mine has plenty of green and copper, but the purple is almost non-existent. I would then use both shadows together to get a better mix.

I would go with the one next to yours. It looks very like the one I picked out for myself and I am very happy with it. Love your jf. I haven't seen one with that much bright blue in it before. I was going to skip jf cause I unsurpassable and clarity and thought that jf would be too similar....now I am not too sure. Do you have clarity and if so, do you think the 3 shadows are worth getting or are they very alike once swatched?

Guys, I need your help! I'm going crazy, lol, couldn't stop thinking about my Unsurpassable not having much green and purple, so I've ordered 3 (!) more from Debenhams, and now I need to decide which one to keep, but I can't!

Below is a picture of all 4 of them, the one on the left is mine, I have used that, so will definitely be keeping it. I like the gold patch in it, it's really pretty, but I really want one with more green and purple. So should I keep the one next to mine, or the one in the middle, or the one on the right? The one on the left has lots of purple, some green and some copper veining. The one in the middle has less purple, but it does have a nice blob that should be fairly easy to pick up, but it still hasn't got that much green, more yellow/lime instead. The one on the right has loads of green and a bit of copper veining, but not enough purple for my liking. (For ref, my JF has a little lime, but not very easy to pick out on its own - see pic at the bottom.) Which one do you think I should keep? Thanks.

Doesn't it? :) I'm wearing it today with Too Faced pink cream e/s under it and the pink shade in the inner corner, light grey in outer corner and I've deepened the crease with more grey, so I actually achieved the whole look with just Clarity. Plus Mineral Mode to highlight.

[quote name="wishonastar" url="/forum/thread/174559/mac-semi-precious-discussion/3390#post_2143558"]I got Rare Find, Hint of Sapphire, Goldstone and a BU of Gem of Roses in the post the other day. Not tried Rare Find yet but mine is really good because it has the purple and taupe shades really separated so it will be easy to use both or mix them. My Hint of Sapphire is just stunning, it has a gorgeous teal blob and a little dark blue blob and through the middle of them is a mix of all different colours. The pigmentation is actually really good, I don't understand why so many bloggers were having problems with it! It is definitely my favourite out of all of the MES I got :) I lurrrrve Goldstone, I look so bronzed and healthy wearing it. It is going to be well loved and used during the summer months so I am very pleased with it and a big thank you to Mac-Guy and MrsB for the recs :)
[/quote] Aww thanks Wosh, I hope you enjoy your goodies ;) my RF is smiliar to yours so I think you will love using it seperately, the taupe colour is just gorgeous. I am yet to fully utilised HoS so you will have to share some ideas for inspiration, lol. I got my final order from this collection today, FG and Pearl MSF - so glad I got each of the MSFs, they're beautiful :) Though I am visiting a CCO in 7 weeks so I wonder if SP will be there then!

I've just looked at my Clarity and it's much darker - not much pale pink at all. It looks completely different

Oooo you got Pearl! Enjoy! I wish I could get to a CCO but my closest is probably Portsmouth which is a pain as I have no other reason to go there at the moment. One day :)
I will take some photos of HoS at some point. I don't get much time in the mornings to take photos and by the time I get home my makeup never looks as good so as soon as I get a chance, I will.

[/quote] Oh gosh! That's what i get for typing in a hurry. Check out all my typos! I am really happy with Pearl, in fact i have been really lucky in the types and veining of all the mineral products I ordered online. I'd love to get back ups of some though. My OH offered to take me away as a graduation present so I chose Cedar Court Hotel and Spa in York as it's supposed to be lovely, then my friend mentioned there was a CCO in the York outlet - which has made me more excited as there's a lot of Estee Lauder owned companies I love...it will be good to check out BB, MAC and some Estee make up - I'm not sure how long it takes for collections to filter through to the CCOs but apparently the York one often has brushes, and some of the standard collections so I hope it will be a good visit - I also hoping for some old paint pots and EL double wear creme shadows at good prices to use with the MES. Anitacska, never mind lovely. I hope your eyes are okay :)
