If you try or buy this let me know what you think. I've been eye-ing it too.
I will. I really like the colour of Superb, but I vastly prefer subtle highlights. My work favourites are Shell Pearl, Watt's Up and Amber Diamond. I have others that have a stronger sheen or some sparkle (Definitely Defined, Perfectly Poised, Light Year, Amber Glow) but I'm a little more careful with them.

What I'd really like is a rose gold that's kind to mature skin with larger pores (I know, HG). I've also ordered the Hourglass Palette and it might be that Radiant Light fills that subtle warm golden niche for me. I have Luminous Light in my cart for the same reason.

I know you all sold me on Superb, but I very rarely reach for my more metallic highlights (Stereo Rose, Redhead) and I'm a bit concerned that it would end up being the same.

EDIT: I've gone hog-wild on the Hourglass powders. I think this collection has just shifted to a skip for me. I really didn't need any other highlighters anyway and with all the F&F 'savings' (read: just bought 3x as much as I would have normally) I think my Dec. 26 list is down to a single purple lippie.

I bought the palette too and I love it. But I still love the look of the Becca one. I'll see if Friday when I'm out.

It just got posted to the Sephora site, but I don't know if it's in stores. If you do see it, can you let us know what you think? It looks gorgeous but a few people have felt that it pulled orange on them. That's never an issue for me, but I don't want a near dupe of Light Year, Amber Diamond or Adored.

I really need to stop buying the same colour with a different pattern over and over again. Now that I'm branching out beyond MAC and NARS, I have to be doubly careful that I'm not buying near dupes across brands.

I'm still going to want the peach EDSF, but I'm going to try hard to resist. It must be similar to LY, Adored, Amber Glow or Perfectly Poised. It must be. (Work with me on this please).

Looking at the color story again I think a mid-tone description means light/pale since At Dusk blush is a mid tone pink That possibly indicate Autoerotique blush may be a light, soft coral . That leaves me with just Pleasure Model blush. I am then left to obsess ( wonder) about Fairly Precious EDSF. Mac's description of peach...... I am hoping that FP is really pigmented to use as a blush, if not then its just Magnetic Appeal for me from the skinfinishes. I am so anxious to see more pics! I know one thing for sure tho, the less I get from each category the more I back up what I love including Amourous Alloy EDES

Ain't that the truth!!!

I think I'm still just getting Fairly Precious EDSF from this collection, but I feel like I always get sucked into a lippie or two. Time (and swatches) will tell!

Superb is actually making its third (and final IMO) appearance and still getting lots of hype. Amazing! Superb first came out last April then was repromoted last October for the holidays, Glamour Daze and now in this collection . Mac has been super generous with this particular product!

As much as MAC HAS to know we want a comeback of this HIGHLY sought after MSF, I have to think it must be either 1) hard to recreate now due to product availability or 2) too expensive to recreate now with higher costs. As we have all seen with MAC, if they can hype it and bring it back for huge demand and profit THEY DO! So, WHY on Earth would they not bring back Metal Rock if they could? So, I stopped lusting after it and decided if they do bring it back I will be floored and super surprised! But I'm with you girl.... I'd be ALL OVER this damn MSF for sure!!!
