I'll start with the glosses. Red Devil I say go for. As for the other two, they're so pale and kind of bland, that they're easily dupeable. Peroxide is so pale it's basically whitish clear with sparkles. Honestly, you can replicate that pretty easily - I know I can. As for Live and Dye, well, how often does MAC release a pale pink gloss? VERY.
As for the eyeshadows, I think Henna is a definite must. It's gorgeous, gold, vp, unlike anything I've really seen from MAC. French Cuff and 100 strokes are both quite pretty - they're on my list, too. Though, if French Cuff (the lustre) turns out to have a miserable texture, it'll get dropped, no matter how pretty the colour. As for Pincurl, it's pretty, but it's not super exciting either. A frosty white. How much would you use it? What would you use it for? I have enough highlights as well as Gesso that I figure I can pass, plus other companies surely have frosty whites as well. When it comes down to it, it's not so stunningly unique that it's a requirement.
Lipsticks: B-Babe is a frosty pink. Don't shoot me, but again, it's not that original or exciting. Blow Dry is pretty similar, but sheerer and with a coral tinge. You really don't need both, do you? Same sort of logic applies to Marquise d' and What a Do! Considering how similar they look swatched, how drastically different will the colour be once you put them on your lips? Marquise d', being a lustre, ought to be sheerer. I think All's Fair is nifty.
Basically, things are similar enough to one another and things outside of this collection that you really don't need it all. That's what I've been telling myself, and I believe it.
The MSFs, though, are frigging gorgeous looking if you ask me. I'd
much rather skip a couple dupable lippies to get another one of those.
