Can't tell you ...the only thing I can say is Redhead is the only one I thought was WAY different than any of the other MSF colors.... Blonde ...pretty...pinky....Brunette...pretty bronzey brown..... Even though I am NC45 I would get the Redhead B4 the brunette if forced to make the decision...I think The blonde is the only one I am on the fence about because I have so many pinky type blushes and MSF's

I'd go for Redhead because its just so friggin unique! If there was ONE thing I could get from BBR Redhead MSF would be it

I dropped by the Vancouver pro store today on the way home and begged to see the brushes that aren't available to buy until tmrw... very nice precision brushes

the mua said quantities of the brushes are limited...
226 = quantity of 66
165 = quantity of 49

they are going to go fast and she expects that it's the mua's that are going to the one's cleaning out the supply

i love precision brushes so i'm pickin up the 226 and 165 tomorrow

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

Free shipping over $60 no code needed was my understanding

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

Ok...I have to stop reading everything. I wasn't even considering buying any of the brushes (my faint attempt at some sort of restraint) and now I'm considering them!

And now I'm torn...What A Do Lipstick...or Blow Dry...you just know I'm going to end up with BOTH!

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

Aaaaaand last minute I'm scheduled to work tomorrow when I wasn't before. Woo!

Oh Erine.....I've been reading on MUA that some (not all) Nordies are honoring F&F and will do so on BBR tomorrow - if you bring in a printout of the e-mail from MAC. Something about it being part of their price-matching policy. Do you think Macy's might do the same?

You are right. It seems that it will give you the free shipping if your total before the discount is $60. With the discount I spent under $60 and I received free shipping.

Now back to BBR!

I was able to see this collection in person today but was unable to purchase it. (Trust me I tried!)

All of the MSFs are gorgeous and have the most lovely texture. They are almost creamy and apply so pretty. I like that they are very soft in color and not overly shimmery. I thought for sure that my favorite would be Blonde but like a lot of others have said the standout is the Redhead MSF. All four colors create such a pretty color that looked really soft and brightened my NW15 skin. I already knew that I would get all three MSFs but I didn't think that I would love them all as much as I did.

The lip colors are gorgeous. The stands out for me were B-Babe, which reminds me of a lighter pink maribu, and strawberry blonde lipglass. Strawberry blonde is the perfect hybrid of red/pink. I also really liked Red Devil. Peroxide is pretty but looks similar to a lot of LE light pink lipglasses. The other lipsticks and lipglasses didn't stand out to me as truly unique IMO.

The eye shadows are so pretty but not as amazing as I had hoped. Most are VERY dupable. Top knot is divine and such a pretty unique color. It is a velvet (which isn't my favorite) but the color is very pretty and pigmented. I also liked pincurl which was a lot more grey/silver than I thought it would be since it is described as a dusty pink. Other stand outs are 100 strokes and knight. Henna looks JUST like sumptuous olive and Flip turned out to be the gold that I wanted henna to be. French cuff is freaking a piece of lustre messiness.

All in all this collection is one of the best in a long time. I just can't wait to get my hands on it.

And also I signed up for the Hello Kitty event!!

Guys this is so funny...My husband just got a call for one of the MAC stores here that their security locking system is not working..So he said I am not sure if I need to send one of my techs or if I should go..I said No you go and tell them to send some freebies for your wife that is sitting at home having dinner alone...I said and make a extra key and bring me the security code number back...Of course he looked at me like what and who have I married LOL

when you take exchange rate into consideration, $60 USD is pretty much the same as $75 CAD these days

How dumb

Im so glad u guys told me how unique redhead is. I cant wait now. If I can make it to my store anytime after the release of BBR, Ill carry my warmed with me and compare it to brunette, and then ill find out if i need it or not (brunette)

Now I know this has been asked before....but whats the difference between the 217 and the 226? Is the 226 just smaller and more...precise?

Ohhhhh. Thank you! Im going to skip french cuff now! I know Erine said that french cuff was a good lustre but we all know that her hands are like magic, so of course itd work for her

. Im gonna skip it until I can play with it myself.

Can u describe redhead at all? Aaaaand, is strawberry blonde really bold or dark or intense, or can it be just a really pretty not too intense lipglass (I hate bold lips on myself u guys know that)

Re: MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead Collection Discussion (Hair was WN)

I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep tonight. A friend and I are leaving early to drive to a MAC store to get BBR... it's going to be an adventure.

My FINAL list:

Blonde MSf
Brunette MSF
Redhead MSF
Femme Fi
French Cuff
Flip
(100 strokes) or (Pincurl) depending on what I like better.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!
