Can anybody confirm if blonde is similar to porcelain pink?
Are there any comparison swatches around?

I don't own PP, but having seen and swatched it, Blonde is darker and has more sheen. I also find it's a bit cooler in tone. You definitely wouldn't have trouble telling them apart.

I LOVE your hair! It suits you really really well. Blush looks beautiful, I ordered this too but mine hasn't arrived yet. It has said out for delivery since Friday so I'm hoping the courier turns up tonight. Off topic but what are your thoughts on the Perfection Lumiere? I've got it in shade 10 which is the lightest yellow based shade. I always thought we were similar in colouring so I'm wondering why I need such a pale shade. It matches really well to my skin anyway. Or do you have a bit of a tan? I really like the foundation although I find it clings to dry parts a bit so it isn't great for my skin right now while it is so dry so I just hope by the time it recovers I've not gotten darker otherwise it wont match.
 
Thank you hunni, I look even more different now as I've just had my extensions put on :) subtle breeze is the perfect everyday blush - the tiniest tap with the blush brush imparts enough to give a lovely flush. I chose 20 in the perfection foundation by Chanel to avoid the mask-y quality of shade 10, shade 10 matched my skin too but I found it looked unnaturally pale and I know as it gets closer to spring/summer I'll warm up a bit and then it would look even more unnatural. I found 20 to be the closest match to nc20. I love the finish and love how it looks great all day. I think it provides such good coverage without any heavy feeling.

i have both and to me blonde is much pinker and obvious than pp. plus blonde has a more metallic sheen to it whereas pp looks a bit more natural

Wow, I finally caught up with this thread.

I manage to order the first product I ever want it from Mac: Redhead. House of Fraser UK has some products from the collection online, but not all. They will arrive to Romania in 11th of January, but I think I can wait :)

Enjoy Redhead!

I folded and brought A Perfect Day today instore after swatching and trying it on. Waiting for the rest of my goodies to arrive via CP though!
I didn't think APD would suit me, but the MUA used Spice lipliner underneath and it looked great! I was tossing up between buying it or not, but the MUA I had was just so lovely (a change from usual!) and we had such a great chat I thought it was worth me paying 250% of US prices for the item.

I'm a sucker for good customer service.

A perfect day on me looks a lot like Honeylove.. it's a touch lighter and of course it's more creamy.. but they are quite similar! The good thing is that it suits me better than Honeylove

I bought APD too, but haven't worn it yet...I was wondering how it will look on me too (NC35). I angels many new poppies to try with all of these new collections!

Awww....I'm so sad I missed out on Subtle Breeze. I haven't bought any MAC in a while because I was in a horribly deep depression, still am working on getting out of it. Anyhow, I searched all the websites and called a few stores today and if is totally gone, this blows. I have to try and think of another place to search for it but I'm totally not paying above retail for it. I LOVE briar rose and this looks like a more pigmented sister of hers.

I finally got my order delivered yesterday. Oh my! Everything is just beautiful! I LOVE it all! (Yeah I know, too many exclamation marks... they are needed though lol).

Eyeshadows I got
Twilight Falls - lovely mauvey brown. Richly pigmented and so so so smooth.
Summer Haze - mine has got really nice veining so I can get a champagne shade and also a light gold. Really lovely and smooth and pigmented. Such a great lid brightening shade or to be used as a highlight when sheered out a bit.
In the Sun - the veining on mine isn't that good but I still like it. It is a lovely golden copper. If mine has more fuchsia underneath it might mix to be more of a reddened copper. It has some sparkle in it so fallout may occur.

I've used all of the eyeshadows today over UDPP and then a thin layer of Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy to help stick the eyeshadows and make them really really intense. If you don't own Pixie Epoxy, just order a tube, best thing ever for pigments and mineral/baked eyeshadows. I love how they came out, all are totally colours I am drawn to and love wearing.


Subtle Breeze - wow! This is pigmented. I swirled my brush in it and it kicked up so much powder so just tap gently. I put way too much on and had to buff it with a clean brush. It is so soft and blendable but you really only need a little bit and build from there otherwise it is like BAM bright pink cheeks ahoy!

Blonde - Wearing this today, tapped over Subtle Breeze and it looks lovely. It is such a soft MSF, I wasn't expecting how soft and smooth it would be. It gives a beautiful glow and is a lovely colour.

Redhead - Beautiful golden shades. Not tried it on my face yet but it is so smooth and has nice colour payoff when swatched. I'm looking forward to wearing this. Would look nice over a peachy blush too.

Perfect Day - I got into work this morning and tried to find a backup tube online but it is sold out everywhere. I think it is such a fantastic nude, probably my favourite nude on me as I find they can look quite stark and odd against my skin. This one really is perfect :)

I smell a repromote of this sometime in the future. It sold so fast MAC marketing has to know it would make lots of $$$ if they did it again.
I am on the fence about going back for Cloudy Afternoon. Does it pull green enough for me to want it is the question??? Can anyone say whether it is a warm grey versus a cool grey? I really don't need any more blue based grey, but if it leans mossy green grey, I am on it...

This collection came online in Sweden this morning. By now 2 of the mineralize blushes have sold out, leaving only Fresh Honey left. I'm so glad I ordered my Subtle Breeze before it vanished!

I'm loving my Early Morning blush! It's super pigmented. I only needed the tiniest bit and it's perfect and very unique in my collection.

I thought I would give this collection a pass, but i ended up getting

Fresh Honey mineralized blush
Subtle breeze mineralized blush
Early morning mineralized blush
Daylight MES
Summer haze MES
In the Sun MES
A perfect day lipstick

I love love love A perfect day lipstick as as a nude color on my lips when i'm wearing heavy eye make up. But i can't wear it with light or no eye make up. Makes me look kinda dead. But i love it with strong eye colors

As for the MES i bought, I bought those colors which I felt I would wear on a daily basis...basically everyday colors...

Nice collection although nothing too fancy. But is it kinda take me back to the basics...

I was told on MAC Chat that Fleur powder blush is close to Subtle Breeze, does anyone have both? If so, can you swatch them and let me know if they are close to each other. I still haven't found a counter or store that has it so I am trying to find something close.

Fleur Power is more coral IMO.

So I tried Fresh Honey today. It looked bright orange on me, even sheered out. I'm sorry it didn't work on me. I ordered Something special and I hope that'll work better on me.

I'm NW10 btw.
