Petticoat is good. It is pretty sheer, but adds a shine to your cheeks. Its a pink shade. Not sure if you dont like it if you can cancel it though.
I did find a similar blush though at pupa milani (kmart), that has smilar colour veining through it.

Petticoat is pretty but I love Soft & gentle for the highlight.. I just received my Little Darlings this morning. OMG, I just love the red packaging! Better than 2007 for sure!

I'm really unsure whether I'm liking petticoat, it looks kind of odd on me.

The MAC near me said they would call me when petticoat came in but they still haven't yet, should I call them or just assume they never got it in?

You will have yours soon!

How do you guys normally keep your holiday mini sets like these? Do you throw away the boxes?

I would call them straight away miss bailey! It seems like they are disappearing very quickly from both stores and website.

Other ladies could help you with this, but for me, Petticoat is very sheer! At first I couldn't see much colour, so I caked on. Gosh, it was just so ugly! So shinny and magnified every single pores! Now I use very little bit of Petticoat, a bit of blusher on top and a bit of Soft & Gentle for the highlight.. I think NC35 would look great with Petticoat though..

I quite pale with red undertones, though I usually where NC15 foundations/concealers because they suit my skin better.

That's harsh.. I don't even remember what I got for the last year's Christmas, but I think I want MAC stuff. Either that or a big, fat envelop full of cash, so that I could spend that on Hello Kitty collection.

I am quite pale too and Petticoat doesn't really show much on me. I love the subtle rosy glow though.

I KNOW!! She doesnt understand how happy i get with mac, going to a mac store, etc. I think getting mac would be soo much better than something electrical, because eyeshadows and brushes and more last for sooo long!
I ended up saying the new straightner with avacado oils in it. I want that also.

I'm quite surprised that Petticoat isn't showing up on the paler girls here- I own it from the first release, and while mine has massive veining (which I actually try to avoid!!) Petticoat DEFINATELY shows up well on me. I'm NW15 for reference. In fact, I've been neglecting my mineralized blushes (Dainty, Love Thing, Merrily and Gentle!) in favour of petticoat these past few weeks!

I actually find it to be gorgeous- especially when I have a few imperfections to cover on the cheeks. I've found that if I apply blush in those areas, sometimes it tends to make it more obvious, even though I've concealed it and everything

Petticoat adds are really nice 'softening' kind of effect to areas like that so that it is much less obvious (on me anyway!) Perhaps it depends on how you apply it? I apply mine with the 188 and buff it in heapss. It shows up really dark on me if I use other brushes! Otherwise, it shows up on me as a kind of transclucent pink glow!! Makes my skin looks heaapps healthier than it is lol!

The only other MSF which seems to do this on me, would be Light Flush (which is why I usually use that on top of blushes...)

I wonder why Petticoat is so different on me, though we are both so pale!! It is definately one of my most pigmented MSFs after Metal Rock!! Even Stereo Rose comes in after Petticoat for me!!

I've applied petticoat on my darker friends, and it looks even better on them than it does on me!! I put it on my friend once and went out to dinner- spent all night staring at her cheeks thinking DAMN that looks nice on her... I wish it did that for me =\ I would estimate that she's about an NC25. Have another friend who loves it (gave it to her as a birthday present about a year ago) and she's heappss darker (darker than Medium Dark MSFN) and it works perfectly on her too

I just got Nars orgasm today and i prefer it much more than petticoat, I find it can look a little orangy in a bad way on me. It also highlights imperfections for me whereas orgasm doesn't look to bad. (i have a horrible bump on my check thats taking forever to heal).

 

[~Crystal~]

Ahh well each to their own I suppose. I've had orgasm for ages, but I just never seem to reach for it. It's pretty though. I just got bumps like that recently too.. they're painful and take ages to go away!

If you guys don't like your petticoats, send them my way lol!! I've been trying and trying to hunt one down, but none of my local counters seem to have gotten it in, or have already sold out of it!! arrghh!

 

[miss_bailey]

Ehh I would love to ahve petticoat in my collection but now im thinking if they dont call me I'll just let that be that, I dont really think it would show up on my skintone anyway and im into peach blushes rather than pink.

And @Casandra-ellen, you should deff ask for brushes!

Crystal- I don't think you read my other post

. I apply MSF with the lightest hand as heavy application tends to magnify all my pores and it doesn't show much colour. However, when I use my favorite Orgasm/Pink Swoon/Stark Naked, I can see the colour more,even with the lightest application. I just use MSF to creat the 'glow', and if I wanted some colour on my cheeks, I would prefer to use blushes that have more pigments.

By the way.. How annoying is that MAC pricing is going up in US.. Do you think MAC Australia will increase the princing in January as well?
