anywho, I would of thought the two w/ the silver pearls in it would make us look ashy...but I believe there was a swatch on the girl that could be nc50/nw50 in BPB SWATCH forums...I mean I'm going to get those two, because I'm like between nc-43-45 and I think it would look ashy on my skin..and my skin has yellow/ olive /warm undertone.

Im NC45....I just brought the Joyous online yesterday..waiting for it to get to me. It looks like the perfect sunshine color. I was gonna get True Romantic, but I already have a color like it.

I'll only get a few because I have to save money for Heatherette... So actually I'm debating on the collectioon also...... Hmmmmmmm??????

I saw a sneak peek of the Heatherette. ...amazing...just great. Its exciting because like I had said earlier, I havent been excited in a while about MAC limited editions. I must say though, BARBIE WAS MY LAST FAV.....Im saving up my pennies, nickels and dimes too. Might have to take it to the burbs and do some baby sitting....I need my Heatherette

I was going to order serenely online

I tried it on at the MAC counter,
and I looked like a clown....

I went by the counter today and I thought the colors were pretty, but decided to permanent items instead. Here's why:
I noticed that they go on very smoothly, but at the same time, I didn't think that the pay off for the plum colors was worth it without a CCB. When I tried it on with a CCB I didn't really see any reason to get these LE items because I could get the same effect by using a permanent ones (Plum Foolery and Flirt 'n' Tease).

I also noticed that alone they look very chalky, but not ashy so take note to blend them very well. The only one that I really liked was Eversun, but I think that they come out with nice bronze colors all the time, so there wasn't any immediate reason to fall in love with this one. The three I tried were Feeling, Secret Blush, and Eversun. I'm not a fan of pinks, so I didn't try any of the others.

I saw these at the counter yesterday and while I think they are beautiful, I wasn't that excited about them. I guess it's because I never hit the pan on any blush. It takes years for me to use them up. I think I have enough blushes already. The one that caught my eye was Eversun. I may have to get that one, but I'm waiting for Heatherette.

I bought Serenly and I LOVE it. Use it with a light hand though...

None of the others really captured my attention...

I got secret blush but i can't decide whether or not to get eversun or not or if i should go for some of the other colors. Im not a big blush user and just getting started and a lot of color on the cheeks looks so strange whenever they put it on me...well to me at least. should i get any of the other colors?
refer to my pic on the side to see my skin tone.

I am about NW45 (dark skinned) and I bought Sweetness and it's an amazing colour! The colours are subtle but they can be easily build up to make it more intense. Sweetness is a bright pink colour that every WOC should own.
Serenely is also a great colour that I got a lot of compliments on. Its a good spring/summer colour that warms up the skin. It is more subtle than Sweetness. These powders have a great texture and a very slight shimmer.

I ended up with True Romantic, Feeling, Everun, and Joyous. I'm still debating Serenely and Sweetness.

I really love the texture of these blushes compared to the normal MAC blushes. The staying power is wonderful too -- all day. And like others have said before me, you can layer these until you get the look you want. Best of all, they are super easy to blend.

Feeling vs. Fab -- They may look similar in the pan, but they go on differently. On me, both are primarily plum, but Fab goes more towards brown and is sparkly, while Feeling is more towards the pink end. Both are super pretty, but the Feeling has better texture.

True Romantic vs. Don't be Shy vs. Sweetness -- People have been comparing Sweetness to Don't be Shy, but on me, True Romantic is very similar to Don't be Shy.

Although I love the BPB textures more, I'm sure I'll be keeping the Barbie ones just because they are cute with the Barbie imprints. :\

I'd really love to see some pix of someone with Sweetness and Serenely on though, anyone have a pic or able to take one?

Hope all of you are enjoying this collection as much as I do.
