Thank you sweets!

Yes, Azalea looks very close on our skintone! I asked about it on here but someone said it was not similar to them. But your swatches confirm they are damn close, and that is enough for me!

Thank you, doll!!

OK, here's some comparison swatches on NC30/35

Just trying to show the brightness of SN for those who are wondering if they "need" it. I think Azalea (MAC PRO Pan blush from my girl Shellcat! Thanks babe!) is a gorgeous bright pink blush. NOT an exact dupe, but probably would look close to SN's pink on the cheek. Add some golden shimmer and I think it would be close to SN for those that can't get it. My real point is, that I personally didn't "need" SN since I have Azalea. I can make Azalea work as a bright pink blush if that's what I'm going for. And I can add or leave out the golden shimmer. SN is very pretty though, and I'm happy I have it. But not a "must have" in my personal collection.

L-R: Salsarose, Supernova, Azalea, Fleet Fast, Early Morning

Azalea is VERY close to Supernova!! AND Azalea is wayyyy more pigmented and versatile IMO! Since you can add the golden sheen SN has or leave it out if you prefer! If you have Azalea I don't think you "NEED" Supernova. I can't imagine being able to tell the difference on the actual face...

If I don't find Supernova I may go for Salsarose! It's even prettier IMO...
that's what I am doing! lol I tried to pick one up at pro two weeks ago and it was sold out. This is a MAC pro staple blush, that I have yet to acqire. Soon though.


i actually took Glorify from the Extra Dimension collection and Full Fuschia and came up with my own little special pink gold "melange" I think I have Supernova out of my system now.





This is what happens when I have to wait for collections to come out in stores that have already hit online, I had to stash shop and mix up my own concoctions!

So I finally used my Earthshine (as a blush). Gorgeous! I used the Ecotools finishing brush and it worked just fine. This is my first MSF so I'm glad I took the plunge. I also adore Stratus blush. Oh my goodness I could wear it every day, but I try to rotate. I'm glad the 2 look nothing alike on my cheeks because I really do like them both. I can't wait to use Earthshine as a shadow.
glad you love them!

Okay, u guys did it 2 days ago...does anyone know of a Sephora shipping code for orders less than $25 before taxes are added??? TIA. Thanks also to everyone who's posted swatches & FOTDs since this has come out. Beautiful products & plenty of beautiful faces even without the MU!

I really want to get Supernova but I only want the goldenish color, I don't like the pink all that much...with my luck, I'd end up with an almost all pink one.

I want to get a SW with a lot of the plum color and a RoS without too much red. Plus since it'll be the day after the 4th of July, maybe I will have some breathing room to swatch since other potential patrons might be too hungover to shop

PixieDancer - Oh no! That would be quite an unpleasant surprise. Glad the MUA exchanged it for you. And thanks for the swatches!

jennstar - Those look absolutely stunning on you. Not helping with my lust for SW!

Unfortunately I think both of you are out of luck. Supernova is fuchsia—the gold you see is only shimmer—and RoS is unavoidably terracotta.
