Ok! Finally home! Here are my swatches. Sweet Samba, Simmer, Lust, and Rio. I can't wait to wear Lust and Simmer. Rio and Sweet Samba will get some love, but Lust and Simmer showed up and showed out! Lol! Sorry for the lighting. I missed my daylight opportunity. Hope you like them! I think they are all good to have in your collection. Now... I need my Nordies order to ship.

The 159 is amazing! I always do 3-4 layers of highlight with a 188, and this applies the right amount in 1-2. Definitely needing a second one, even if it is perm. I'm a brush whore as well as a blush whore. And highlight whore. And lippie whore...

Exactly! One I actually like.

I keep trying Redhead, but I've finally decided that I just don't like it. It's just too metallic for me, even when applied with the 159. I adore the glow of Shell Pearl, Definitely Defined and now Adored. I don't love Redhead and I'm not going to. Time for it to find a new home.

I tried Stereo Rose applied with the 159 last night. What a difference! I love the colour but had to be uber careful with application. This brush solves that.

I'm having a hard time deciding about what I should put on hold until I can get to my store. Based on the swatches here, Lust and Exotic Ember seem perfect for me. On the other hand, I went to Temptalia and eveeeerything over there emphasizes pores. Also, Exotic Ember looks sort of... boring on her. She also has me on the fence on finally picking up Gold Deposit. I feel like I'm going to end up with just the brush, Fever Isle, HTHI, and Narcissus (creamsheen glass addict). I just really wanted a Skinfinish and/or blush.

Hey! And Btw...Does anyone out there own both Ring Of Saturn and Simmer? Is it possible to get some comparison swatches? I'm contemplating Simmer but, If they are similar I might skip it.

I also own Ring of Saturn and I think it was Liba who said that Simmer is lot more berry than Ring of Saturn. I don't know about you, but my Ring of Saturn has quite a few swirls so the colour is more coral-peachy in the end than it is terracotta. I think Simmer looks similar to Ring of Saturn in the pan but applies differently.

OMG guys thank you so much for all these amazing swatches! I'm so super excited for this collection! I love MSF's and that Simmer blush from what planet did that come?! It's so gorgeous, I hope I'll like it just as much when I swatch it for myself. I also hope I can find a Bossa Blue with a lot of blue and if the chartreuse of CCC turns out pigmented enough I want one with a lot of that. Tropica looks amazing too and I'll try to find one were I can easily get the separate colours too. My list for now:
Adored x2
Lust
Rio x2
Simmer
Tropica
Bossa Blue
Cha Cha Cha

I think I can skip the brush for now and maybe get it later on since it's perm. I'm waiting for 6 more Hakuhodo brushes, so I'll have enough new brushes to give some love

Yesterday, I received my black box (non-TT) shipped to the wrong address despite calling CS when I ordered to ensure that did not occur. Luckily, all went well but package could have easily be stolen. Finally have my FoF l/g replaced plus a B/U. I am fearing the mess that may possibly occur at some locations in the next couple hours as up until late yesterday evening, associates were informing me that this collection launches on July 4th!

.

I ordered Narcissus, Fever Isle, Heroine, Ablaze and the 159. Erin, I agree Adored is gorgeous on you. Any tips on how to use the 159? I know you stipple(?) with the 187 and 188...is it the same technique? Also, any recs for the LE face mineralized products? I'm thinking Lust or Rio..
