I agree...I swatched the Redhead MSF and didnt see anything spectacular about it

#226 on the other hand...by the time I could afford it, it was sold out online and at the counter

So I just read the very first entry of this thread about how this collection may be hair products...in retrospeck, I'm SO GLAD these weren't hair products! This collection was way too awesome.

And for those inquiring minds, I concur that Redhead and the 226 are pretty freaking awesome! I loved everything I got, except Brunette MSF which I sold...it was too dark for me. Everything else =

If I had to choose one thing it would be Pincurl

I think the #226 is definetly a must have as there's no other brush like it. It produces a nice smokey effect especially for those of us with deeper set and smaller eyes. The eyeshadows can easily be duped and the lipsticks aren't anything special.

To be honest the MSFs arent really unique either but if you like them and don't have a similar colour MSF then go for one or more of those.

However definetly get the #226!

 

[Heiaken]

Pincurl can't be duped. Period.

I just love it so much

 

[snowflakelashes]

confession, I bought another 226...

Exception: Buying a second of a brush you adore does not violate voews of not buying backups . Heh

 

[sweetbabyblue]

I want Blonde MSF so badly! my MAC lady said she had it on hold for me and so I made a big order just for that MSF and now she says she doesn't have it! grr
A lovely friend is lending me hers for now though

 

[dreamer246]

I love the MSFs from this collection.

There's honestly nothing from this collection I would die without. My personal favourite thing, though, is absolutely Redhead MSF.

I, for one, am glad you sold Brunette MSF.

Lucky! I want another 226 so badly!! I stupidly sold my backup.

I also need to track down some more All's Fair lipsticks. I am sure that most stores still have them so it shouldn't be to hard. I got my mom hooked on that color!!

For you skintone i think redhead would look gorgeous on you. Especially if you swirl it all lightly and apply it on your cheeks then applying the lightest bit as a highlight. You got blusher+highlight all at once.

The most unique es there in my opinion is flip eyeshadow. 100 strokes is crap, i tried swatching but there was no colour pay off. The rest of the eyshadows are ok.
-Kinght eyeshadow = a darker version of knight divine

-Deep Shade= You don't need it if you have either deep truth or contrast.

-Henna= It's more golden than sumptious olive, so skip it if you have SO. Just use a gold base to bring out the golden tone in SO and you end up with Henna.

-Femme fi= I already got it from neo sci fi. But if you didn't get it when that came out it might be worth looking at. It's a good highlight for the cheeks as well.

-Pincurl= Just a light silver, it won't show up on me so i skipped it.

-Top Knot= Just like the texture of Beauty marked, you don't see these flecks so it just looks black.

-French cuff= mythology and in my opinion mythology has a nicer texture.

Stand out Lipsticks are B-Babe and All's Fair
Stand out Lipglass's are Red devil and Live and dye

I will just add that I skipped all the e/s from this collection completely...

I also love Marquise'd l/s and am liking Blow Dry more and more. B-Babe was a horrid frosty mess on me, I swatched it and went "No friggin way!!" All's Fair I really like though.
