I think I'm going to go for it and get Lavish Living. It's calling to me plus it's Liba approved!
I have wayyy too many coral/peachy/pinky blushes that I want to branch out!

It's tough to do this but I think CoA is getting the cut :(
$40 CAD is just too much to swallow blindly.
You will love Lavish Living - it's very special. I think in this collection, LL is the #1 most special product, COA is #2 and STBS is #3 and they each do really different things. It's good to branch out!

Can you see COA in person? Because that is the right way to choose this MSF, unless you have deep pockets and a devil may care attitude about MSFs! It will be big love or big hate.

I like how the eyeshadows look so far but i'm afraid I have too many similar colors from the naked palette- i'm a creature of habit

Not applicable apparently from what i heard...
Really? I hadn't heard that. Do we know for certain? It's not showing for me, so I wasn't sure if it was just another glitch... sometimes when things are new it takes a minute for our discount to kick in. I don't want to act quickly and miss it.

STBS is like Rio on steroids! It's deeper in the base color, darker and brighter in the highlight, lots of sparkle and shimmer and sheen that shows differently from every angle. It's seriously like the ultimate MSF for people who love all the wildest features of MSFs. You have to be into that factor, but if you are, ooo la la! I've used Rio just a ton since it came out and love love love it and STBS is all that and more for me. When people start buying and using it, you will see how much talk there will be about it! You've described LTL's texture so well - it's satiny smooth!!!! Did you find it easily buildable for your skin tone? Thanks for chiming in and enjoy your goodies. I can't wait to get mine! Oh the gold in COA is not gritty - it's sparkly and metallic and glittery, though, but good glitter than doesn't fall out around the face or get flakey. It behaves and tames down when you layer the base color over it. But it definitely looks like Goldfinger if you go to town with it with Fix+ and a dense brush! If you have olive skin and like sparkle, you have to give it a look. You will love Lavish Living - it's very special. I think in this collection, LL is the #1 most special product, COA is #2 and STBS is #3 and they each do really different things. It's good to branch out! Can you see COA in person?

Hmm... A gold shimmer that won't add "texture" to my face? I can dig it... Thanks, Liba. I must check out Lavish Living based I your review, too.

Unfortunately I live too far away from a MAC store so I (for once!) am showing a little restraint.
Just a bit...for now...

All 3 MSFs show the pores a tiny bit more than the Tropical Taboo ones, but nowhere near like the olden days of MSFs a few years ago. The gold shimmer in COA was as smooth as something like Adored, but with glittery sparkle added - not crazy glitter like the Pressed Pigments. More the type that melt a little into the skin, especially with buffing. I didn't have flakes or fallout with it either, even when removing with a makeup wipe.
