Heavenly Creature is such a fantastic collection, but with so many different products, there are always some that sort of fall by the wayside, while others get raved about.
What items do you love that nobody seems to talk about?
My #1 has got to be Fire Sign. It's one of the best MLBB colors MAC's put out the whole year (at least for someone like me, with very red lips to begin with). Sure, Venus is gorgeous, but it looks pink on me, not MLBB. If someone told me I could only use one lipstick for the rest of the year, I'd pick Fire Sign, because it can go from almost looking like you only swiped a touch of lip balm on, to a beautiful, evening-worthy, glamour color. If you have naturally red lips and especially if you're at the age where pink lips always look a bit "young" and "cute", rather than just natural.
#2 would have been Invincible Light, but fortunately it looks like people are starting to discover how great it is - in a year with a ton of neutral, glistening highlight colors, the only one that works better for me is Nebula pigment, and IL is better than Nebula right now, since I've gotten quite tanned this summer.
Instead #2 goes to Sky! Such a rich, bright color. It takes almost zero work to get it looking as nice as it does in the pan and it's very long lasting. I've gone out dancing with just a paint pot underneath and a little Fix+ on top and had no fading or streaking. Plus blue isn't always a good color for my green eyes/skin tone and yet every combination of the cobalt, turquoise and shimmer looks great on me. This happened last year with Semi-Precious, too - I usually can't wear dark green, but the dark green from that collection works great...one of the few that does. All I can guess is that the mineral pigments reflect light from your skin in a special way that helps make the colors more flattering for more people.
#3 is Galaxy Rose - it's so sexy. Definitely the sexiest lip color from this collection. I love it on its own or on top of Fire Sign, which creates this amazing, sultry strawberry color. Love it - I'm trying not to back it up, lol.

Oh no more temptation to get Galaxy Rose. It is the only CSG I didn't get from this collection. Surprisingly, I like Fire Sign as well. It is not a MLBB on me. It is a bright shade for me but I think I will be using it a lot. It leaves a very nice stain once the glossiness wears off. I haven't worn my Invincible Light or Sky yet but I love that green gold in it. I'd love a pigment or shadow in that color alone.

It's like a sexy summer version of Narcissus, or a much more subdued Color Saturation. I love it. The only CSG I didn't get was Celestial Kiss, and only because I've got a backup of Private Screening from Reel Sexy, which is my HG peach/nude gloss. Lol, probably will still wind up with CK too. I'm a nut for CSGs and I love the subtle shimmer in CK. I'm also a big fan of Strictly Plutonic, but someone posted some comparison swatches and it's somewhat similar to a perm CSG - enough so that it didn't make my top 3 under-appreciated HC products.
You can really get that green gold to show up if you apply Sky dry with a blending brush like a 217 - try it over a paint pot like Let's Skate!
You can really fine tune the color in Sky based on the base you use - another nice feature of this MB. I've also tried it over Half-Wild for a brilliant navy, over Pure Creation to really bring out the turquoise and over Imaginary, which made it really sexy/smokey.

most mysterious horoscope i've ever read about my star sign....but i like the word 'fabulosity'!
Pisces' motto is "I believe," ruler Neptune is the planet of magic and imagination. As the mutable water sign—think foam, vapor—you can't be pinned down, yet others lose themselves, enchanted by your foggy fabulosity. Like Aphrodite, born from the foam of Neptune's sea, fresh and dewy, you personify the ever renewable power of love. In its divine expression, you prove all things possible.
and for my b-day:
You emanate a warm black, like that of the ocean depths. And it's your compassion that is most fathomless, learning, however, that you can't save people. So you set an example not only of survival, but thrivation, working on yourself. You enjoy being called sultry.
