Okay, Petticoat is nothing like Platinum Pink. So no worries there. If anything PP is closer to Perfect Topping, and even those two are noticeably different because Perfect Topping has a satin-like finish. I like Platinum Pink a lot. It has more color pay off and a better finish that Porcelain Pink which I swapped because I hated it. It could be similar to Light Flush, but I don't have Light Flush, so I really don't know, just throwing it out there.
Nectar is reaaaaalllly nice. I just drool every time I see it. Nectar is coral, with a pinky/golden iridescence. One of the strips looks like Motif eye shadow. The closest thing to Nectar might be Stereo Rose (which I haven't seen in person) and I only say that because the color description of SR is coral. Nectar is definitely different from Ripe Peach, which isn't really shimmery... It could be similar to Triple Fusion, but I can't say for sure because I can't compare them side by side. I skipped Triple Fusion because the pink 3rd made it too light and frosty for my taste and I don't have that problem with Nectar. And I don't have refined, but I remember it and I wouldn't think it is close to Nectar either. Do you have a MUA account? There are tons of swatches on there to give you a better idea.
Maybe if you have Shimpagne and/or Soft & Gentle you can skip Beige SB or Pink Quartz as both of those are beige-y and neutral. Just a thought.

I got Beach Shimmerbrick last week when I was picking up my MAC To The Beach items and I've used it twice since then, which we know, is a lot for me. I like it a lot. I'd say it's like the Tawny Shimmberbrick (came out with the lip palette) for darker skintones if that makes since. So it's not as brown and bronze as the Bronze SB is, but isn't as light or frosty as the Tawny or Pink Quartz/Beige Shimmerbricks would be on darker skintones. But then you know I can justify the purchase of anything shimmery...

Haven't seen the Pink Oyster SB - I bet it is pretty though.

Tempetalia just reviewed the Beach shimmerbrick and recommends it for darker skintones as blush and highlighter and for fair to light medium skintones as highlighter. I saw this shimmerbrick last week and def agree with her. On my NW25 skintone it definitely makes me look sunburnt, it kinda just sits there. I don't like it enough to buy it just to use as highlighter. If u're NC40 and up though this would be great. My MA is about NC42 and it looked amazing on her as a blush/bronzer.
I would say Nude shimmerbrick is the perfect natural bronzy one for fair to light medium folks. Nude is my total HG
. I also love Nectar which is more universally flattering and all the shades work together or individually as eyeshadows.

Thanks. I ordered one a few days ago. Can't wait to get it.
In other news, I wish that I hadn't slept on the Chrome Eyeshadows. I saw a swatch of Pewter and now I want it! Sigh...

They ordered Nectar in from Yorkdale for me. I hated it. Too shimmery, I think though that given the chance to work with the product I would like it better. I didn't want to like it because of its price tag $49?! Yikes!

I absolutely adore the powder brush! It's a tapered brush like the MAC 138, and I love it for rolling and pressing setting powder after foundation, or as a bronzer brush. It's really multi-purpose!

I am newly hooked on BB's creamy concealer (I use the color Sand). It's sooo smooth and blends nicely with the warmth from your fingers. However, the areas I use it for are quite smooth (undereye, redness around my nose) so I don't know about any creasing issues.
I also tried the corrector, but I'm not big on it. The texture is exactly the same as the concealer, which makes them hard to layer like you're supposed to. They just end up blending into one another. Back to the store it goes!

I love the concealer too, Sand is my summer shade! I love the corrector also though, bummer it didn't work for you. When I don't want to much coverage I have been using the tinted eye brightener under my eyes, works well too!

I would love to have some help to choose right color from creamy concealers because we don't have Bobbi Brown here in Finland.
In the wintertime when I'm super pale I'm using creamy concealer in the shade Porcelain. Now in the summer time it is way too light for me and I need a darker one which is a yellow based shade.
In the winter I'm MAC NC15-20, C1 (Face and body) and Buff in Revlon Color stay oily version and summer NC25 or C2 (Face and body).
I have been using BB's corrector in Light to medium bisque and it is perfect no matter is it summer or winter. In top of that I have been using Studio sculpt concealer in NC20, but it isn't a good under eye concealer, makes them look really cakey.
Thanks ladies!
