I'm in love with Earthshine. I feel like getting another but I know I won't need it. It's just so pretty! And I've already put in my 2nd order so you making me want to get Fire Sign is just not right:)

My response should be obvious. Get it! Fire Sign would look great on you.

I FINALLY got to see the collection today - no need to go into it in detail, since so many others have already, BUT the MSFs are beautiful!!! I'm only sad I couldn't get Earthshine not to look dirty on me. 'Tried a bunch of brushes and so forth, but I guess even with a tan, my basically NC15 face isn't dark enough to set it off well. Stratus MB, on the other hand, was gorgeous. So fabulous for a contoured look.

I passed on Solar Ray. I could not get it to show up at all unless I wet my brush, and then it was way too harsh and unblendable. Supernova was everything I hoped for, though and so were Stratus and Ring of Saturn.

All the c/s/g were so so so so so beautiful - totally fantastic for looking effortless in the summer sun. I don't have a favorite, they're all beautiful!!!

The shadows all had very nice textures - the standouts for me were Invincible Light, Sky, Aurora. If you find a Water with lots and lots of the light green shade, it will be beautiful - sort of a more pastel Parrot. I was hoping to skip it, but even though it looks like Jade's Fortune from SP, it really doesn't apply with the same color if you ind the right swirls. I DID prefer my In the Sun to Magnetic Attraction, because I like ITS's type of sheen better (it's more frosted and sparkly).

I got:

Light Year
Star Wonder
Center of the Universe

Stratus
Supernova
Ring of Saturn

Cusp of Dawn (LOVE)
Venus (LOVE the shimmer in this and CoD)
Fire Sign (these two will be so great all the way into fall)

All 5 c/s/g (I can't believe how many incredible colors MAC has brought to this product this year. Astral is particularly stunning and yet not overdone at all)

Invincible Light (thought I could skip this one due to Young Venus, but the texture is glorious and is one of the few I can wear as a brow highlighter without over-emphasizing the area. Will become a staple shadow for me)
Aurora - very good warm mid-tone brown (Earthly was too cool for me)
Sky - Got a nice one with lots of cobalt blue
Also put aside Bright Moon, Water and Neo Nebula. NN is quite close to Grand Galaxy on me, just a bit warmer, so I may pass. Bright Moon is beautiful but I can only wear pale blues in the summer when I have a good tan and Water, while better for more of the year on me, is not unlike Unsurpassable and Jade's Fortune, even though it's a much better texture and easier to apply.

My MA had been experimenting and found Luna CCB was a great base for the MES - really brought out the lovely sheen and shimmer. He just put a tiny amount on the lid and above the crease but not IN the crease. I'd say it may be the best base shade for the MES.

'Looking forward to next week to pick it all up! YAY TEAM MINERALIZE!!!

It does! I love that it has a modest swirl! I was afraid the swirl would be too over powering so I think I drooled when I saw it for the first time!

You can click the picture to see it larger, but left to right:

NARS Orgasm - NARS Deep Throat - Fleet Fast - Ring of Saturn - Stunner - Modern Mandarin - Peaches


Ring of Saturn seems closest to Deep Throat but DT is more pink. I wouldn't say they're close enough to be dupes! I would say Fleet Fast looks more like Deep Throat than RoS looking like Deep Throat.

These swatches are really helpful (and kinda enabling, lol). Thanks!

I wore Water today over TFSI and Pixie epoxy patting on the color. It came out to be nice shimmery shade of green (with hint of lime). Without pixie epoxy, it was more of a dark murky green color.

I had to tell you all this - I think I found the rarest of creatures. A man who doesn't think having more than two lipstick is odd.

I was showing my husband the ridiculously large box MAC sends to ship even a single lippie (I don't hide orders - we each have discretionary money to save or spend as we wish) and I mentioned that I've really had fun rebuilding my collection but that I'm going to slow down now because I want to keep a manageable (for me) amount. He slid my makeup/nail polish drawer open (everything I have still fits into one of those expandable plastic cutlery inserts) and said, "This doesn't look like that much makeup. Don't most women have a makeup drawer or something?"

Granted, I don't have a huge stash, but it's a reasonable size. A couple of dozen OPI polishes, a couple of dozen lippies/lg, a dozen or so blush, foundations/primers/powders, some single e/s, 2-3 quads, a 15-pan palette, liners, fluidlines, etc. He even suggested that I should get what else I need in the US this weekend if it's cheaper. I loves him.

I kind of do want earthshine now but only one with a teeny burgundy swirl. I'm not brave enough to order online.

Hi, liba!

How did you like Star Wonder? Do you think it's a must-have? Love to hear your thoughts.

I've only got Light Year MSF so far. I got them in the mail today. Actually, I ordered 2. MAC sent me one Light Year MSF and one Mineralize Skin Finish Natural

Yay!!! I got Ring of Saturn MB, Lightyear, Star Wonder, and Center of the Universe MSF's. I had thought about Venus but it's sold out. I'll have to stalk Nordies to see if they get it soon. I want it and Supernova although my account would feel the pain lol.
