I have to agree these brushes are awesome. I haven't used my face brush yet... I might check out that kabuki looking one, if it is available in Sept.

Is the balm more expensive than MAC in Canada? Here it's about the same. And I was very happy to score one very cheaply. I really like their texture.

Yeah it is and there are only 2 places that carry it where I am. I bought a couple things from them but ended up swapping them since I had mac items that were very similar. Though there are other things are have caught my eye I try to stay away to save money.

The only thing I got and I am not happy about is Smoked Ruby. It comes out too dark, can't see any of the red and the veining is nice, it has a lot of red.
I'm happy I got a back up for Clarity as I use it a lot. I also liked Goldstone as a bronzer, it gives such a nice glow. I haven't used much of Crystal Pink yet, as I think it will look better when my tan goes away.

How do you recommend applying a msf like Crystal Pink all over the face? I am a little scared to try it!

Don't be scared to try something new! You can always take it off if you don't like it. I apply CP only on my cheeks, because i think on me it will be to shimmery all over.

I use mine as a highlighter - above the brows, on the high cheek area.

That's a hard one because it is made up of so many different colors! The lighter part of my Rare Find is a dead ringer for Circa Plum pigment, the fuchsia part is similar to Leisuretime (from Belle Azure) or Hepcat (but Hepcat doesn't have the shimmer), but the overall color when all of the elements are mixed together might be more like Twinks... or Twinks mixed with Satin Taupe.
Maybe layer those 2 shadows over Copperplate so you can get some of the smokey undertones too. Or just swap for Rare Find! It is my favorite shadow from the whole collection and I recommend getting your hands on one at all costs!

Does anyone know of a dupe for Rare Find?
