I wanted to compare my Twilight Falls to my Rare Find......Here are the swatches!
Rare Find is the 3 swatches down the left, and Twilight Falls are the 4 on the right. They are quite similar, but considering that they are my favorite tones of taupe and brown I am happy to have both! LOVE THEM!!!

next week Nturally will finally arrive here XD I'll only take Fresh Honey and A perfect day but I also like some Mes! Tonight I'm using Mes Lovestone and although it has an old formula I think It's a great eyeshadow!

Omg I totally love this collection too! I bought 2 MES, all 3 MB and the Redhead MSF! I cannot stop wearing the products - I haven't even used any of my MANY other products since I got these pieces. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!
Which MES did you get? I am especially loving Daylight! I made a look based around it: Today I am wearing Daylight on the lid with Twilight Falls in the crease. As a brow highlight, I am wearing Lightscapade. Black liner on the waterline with Urban Decay Ransom liner (duochrome purple-blue) on the bottom lashine. On the cheeks I am wearing Blonde MSF with a bit of Daylight applied on top of it. For the lips, I'm wearing Restrict l/s from Gareth Pugh topped with Borealis Cremesheen Glass from Daphne Guinness. It's a lovely natural look!

I placed another order barely into Tuesday morning (just after midnight). I caved and got Subtle Breeze and threw in Red Dwarf and Pink Poodle lipglass to hit $50 for free shipping. I decided to splurge and pay for 2-day shipping. As of tonight, my order is still "in transit" and there isn't an "expected delivery date"...... *grumble grumble*

Shimmermint is kind of a pain in the butt compared to some of the other MES from G&I and especially the Naturally ones, that are easier still. What seems to work best on my eyelid texture is to apply it dry over a good, smooth primer, then afterwards, mist it with Fix+ to bring out the color. If I just try to foil it with a wet brush, it applies kind of weird and gets a little scaly. I'm going to try and give it another chance during the springtime, but it might be going to a friend of mine with younger eyelids than mine hehe.
yeah shimmermint is a little annoying however it looks so pretty when applied! i loves it! :) i use a primer first and then a paint pot so i have a good base for it to stick to. then fix + to foil it on so you don't get as much fallout :)

guys i am still stuck on which blush to buy from this collection - i want one of them because i love these new mineral blushes because they are so smooth and soft. but really am not sure which will suit me best! help!

I just bought them all to cover all my bases. You could always resell them if you don't like them^^

well i can't really afford to buy them all seeing as i just spent £46 on a chanel blush! i am thinking perhaps the honey one would be nice... it has always caught my eye from when we first saw pics of it

Same here, I have no idea what to do yet! I love those blushes, I can't wait to swatch them, but I want to be a good girl and save for the upcoming collections so I have to buy only one blush (or two if I skip something I have on my list).
Fresh Honey is an amazing colour to have, and it's unique too!

I would get early morning. I heard FH is so much like my highland honey (if you have that) and since Orange is the colour of the year, I can't help but think it will be re-promoted (The colour that is!). Early morning is more unique amongst the mac perm line.

^^^ I agree EM is a stand-out if you can only pick up ONE of these blushes... Although, it MUST be said that they are ALL SOOOOO AH-Mazing! I feel like a broken record, but the TEXTURE is just to die for! A VERY little goes a LONG way! So you will have this blush for awhile. That's why I would go with EM if I could only get one. It's unique without being too "trendy." FH is beautiful, but if I could only get one, I probably wouldn't gamble on an orange blush. SB is a nice staple pink blush, so nothing too special there from a color perspective.

I DO have all these blushes! And I LOVE all these blushes! So, trying to help you guys decide on ONE is coming from my own personal user experience.

Oh don't worry, I'm super excited and in love with these, and I haven't seen them yet! (only from online photos and swatches)

I feel I'm going to buy both blushes and skip a l/s or an e/s

I went back for Round 2 on this collection (Round 1 was both MSFs, Subtle Breeze, and Early Morning).
I just picked up Summer Haze on Saturday. I went to the local freestanding store and asked to look at them first to get one with more of the light color, and the MUA let me, so I got one with thick swaths of the lighter gold.

I really like it, it's a very natural my-lids-but-better look. It works better over a paint pot both to bring out the color and to smooth out my starting-to-get-wrinkled eyelids, I have Soft Ochre on underneath it.

I ended up ordering Cloudy Afternoon and Daylight online last night, and threw in A Perfect Day to get free shipping.

My credit card is screaming in pain LOL.

I am still not fully decided on what to get from this collection and it's coming out here in a few days!

I definitely want A Perfect Day lipstick and Early Morning blush, and I'm skipping the MSFs (I already have both), the lipglasses, and probably the other lipsticks. It's the MES that I'm struggling to decide on. I was only going to get one (or two max) but I can't choose between Twilight Falls, Cloudy Afternoon and Daylight. What does everyone think? Please help me choose - I really can't get all 3 because I want to save for Vera and Shop/Cook!

Just my opinion, Ruby, but with your red hair and pretty green eyes I'd go for Cloudy Afternoon, if you could only pick one.

But it also depends what you already have in your stash. The online swatches of it look similiar to Dalliance (but greyer).

You may want to think about what might be dupes that you already own.....

I skipped Twilight Falls since I have a ton of brown shadows already and would only use it for the crease....

I went to my MAC counter today to get Fix+ [encountered the most gorgeous guy on earth!] and the collection is released on the 6th of Feb here. I was trying to ask about it and they JUST got the collection in today and the guy had no clue about what colours or whatever I was talking about. And they ran out of Fix+ :(
