I have to make a comment! I'm a 30G, which should cound a back size of 70 cm, but when I measure myself I get 78 cm the least, which must mean that you have to get a bra that is tighter around the back than you are, it has to be stretched out a bit to get a good hold (do you follow me?).
Adina, probably 15 years or so younger than me has a 28G, that is 65 centimeters, but probably her back is at least 70 centimeters, which makes her size more reasonable, and probably the size of all your backs too. You are not giant monsters, you are all beautiful princesses!!

it's a shimmery purple midnight blue. i did post some "skin swatches" [

cantaffordmac] if you haven't seen them already. gorgeous color, not very comparable to deep truth, which is a shimmery navy blue. does take some work to get it to show up like it does in the pot. if you have the 214, or another stiff short bristled brush that will help. contrast is more of a blackened purple blue, and due to it's texture it comes out more dusty. i still like it though. it was on my "to buy" list, but i think i'll hold off for awhile since i got this.

I wasn't expecting a smooth and creamy texture but it's so hard and it's very difficult to get any on my brush... Weird! maybe I should exchange for another one or just get 100 Strokes instead. Let me know if your French Cuff is like this!

yes, french cuff is very hard to apply. thanks to the magic that is the 214, i was able to get it to show up. idk if it's worth the work especially in comparison to bold & brazen which goes on effortlessly and looks highly similar.

I already have Light Flush, I was looking for something to use as a blush, not only as a highlighter. Is it really paler than both the blond and brunette MSF?

yes, it is very light. light flush is more pink though, whereas redhead is more peach. of the ones i purchased, it is the lighter of the 3, which i find to be strange...

no, they are not very much a like. they are similar in depth. happening gal is more fuschia and squeeze it is more of a brown red. quick tease is a burgundy plum.

I am stroking them both now

the 226 is lightly firmer but still just as feather soft ...it is really just more narrow and the tip is more precise ...But I am starting to get a little tingle so I will stop feeling my brushes up now...this is totally not normal...even though I am a MAC Brush Whore

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

I really like Mythology far more than French Cuff...We swatched those both in the store...French Cuff was just like a d/s grade e/s IMO...so not right...

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

Alright ladies I just returned from the mall! I went to go get 2 226 brushes, but then I just *had* to swatch Redhead MSF aaaand...I got ONE 226 and Redhead MSF!

Now I'm wondering if I should have gotten 2...damn you, MAC for making brushes LE so I can't use it for a while and get used to it before making this decision!! I'll have to force myself to put some makeup on tomorrow and try it out...I do not want to miss out on this brush!

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

I love this collection. I didn't get any e/s yet, but the MSF's and brushes (all) are awesome. I wore my brunette MSF on my face and as eyeshadow today (late to work...rush rush) and I got so many compliments on my makeup today!!! Which is always nice. So someone said the red devil looks great over VGV? Are there swatches of this look ? (I'm having problems w/ Specktra loading again today.)

I got most of my wishlist/haul today! Quick Tease, Strawberry Blonde, Red Devil, and Chignon are all so beautiful. I was surprised and pleased with Strawberry Blonde, which looks like a warm rosy shade shot through with gold on my lips. I'm going back to my local counter to get All's Fair in a while; the Blonde shades aren't getting much love there, so it should stay for a while!

Thanks for the help!!! Now my list is:

226 brush
Soft Wave l/g
Flip e/s

The only problem is that my counter doesn't have BBR yet and they don't know when it's coming in!!! Yesterday they told me either today or Saturday, now they don't know.

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

All of my new friends are depotted and safely tucked into homes in my palettes!

Of course, now the organization of my palettes is a little weird, because I only have a total of 1 empty space, so some colours had to shack up together or get split into two palettes...

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

Uhh...okay - why can't I get past pg 168?? Oops nvm, I thought there would be 10+ more pgs since I was last on here. Anyhoo...my haul:

226 Brush
Brunette MSF
What a Do l/s
Henna e/s (b2m)
Pincurl e/s (b2m)
100 Strokes (b2m)

I love 100 Strokes! The color payoff was good to me, it's a really pretty blackened purplish/reddish brown. I liked Pincurl too, which is surprising because it was completely off my radar. It shows up as light frosty pink, but it also looks icy grey - I don't have anything like it. Henna is very pretty, and I don't have Sumptuous Olive so I thought it would be a nice addition to my collection. Flip is a gorgeous gold - I felt it had the best texture and color payoff of all the shadows, but I have way too many gold eye shadows so I passed. French Cuff was pretty too, but again I have something similar already.

I passed on all the lip glasses - all of them were nice but didn't particularly stand out as anything I really needed. Soft Wave is pretty but I have Chanel Aqualumiere gloss in Freeze & this reminded me of it. There was no tester for Live & Dye. I got What it Do l/s which I didn't expect because I normally do not like frosts, but the color was gorgeous and I have nothing similar. I thought I would get Chignon, and I still might, but I have a lot of berry lippies and I'm trying to branch out lol! All's Fair is haunting me and I know I will go back to get it - it reminds me of Pomposity, but only because of the silver sparkles. I got Brunette MSF and LOVE it. I passed on Redhead, very nice but it would pretty much be a highlighter for me and I have a lot of those already. I am actually contemplating going back for Blonde, it's such a pretty natural pink - I see what everyone is talking about how it is less metallic than Petticoat. And finally, I got the 226 which I'm very happy about. I needed a crease brush! The store I went to was selling them quickly and had completely sold out of the 214 (btw, is the 214 perm?).

Okay so that's my review of most of BBR in a nutshell.
