Glitter on the lips and eyes is always a good look

but super shiny glitter all over the face for everyone is a bit too disco ballish

I finally got some BBR today! the collection has just arrived in my country 3 days ago.. I was SO HAPPY that the stuff I wanted wasnt sold out.. usually things sell out on the first day in here! I got:

- Blonde MSF (super pretty!)
- Redhead MSF
- Red Devil l/g
- Strawberry Blonde l/g
- Marquise D' l/s

I need to go back and get What A Do l/s and Soft Wave l/g!! =D

didnt care much about the eyeshadows, they all seemed like dupes of other colors.. but the brushes looked good.. Im probably gonna get the 226 later!

YAY!! I LOVE BBR! I've never been this excited about a new collection in a long time~

^We didn't get shipment of Marquise-D or strawberry blonde yet!

Enjoy your haul! Blonde is soo pretty, i was silly to think it wouldn't show up on me!

I agree with you, i wasn't excited about any of the past collections either, BBR is amazing!

 

[Susanne]

Yay! You all get your BBR now!

For the redhead lovers, do you use it as a highlight or a blush?

Yay for you!

So you have all 3 MSFs now?

So all I got from this collection was the Redhead MSF. I was thinking about the Blonde? Opinions??

Blonde is a nice shimmery pale pink color, it gives a nice glow to the face. It can be used alone as a blush or layered over blushers.

Yeah, they are S$51! I have Soft & Gentle from the mineralized line last year, which only cost S$43. That's a lot of price hike!

I'm excited to get my Blonde MSF again. It's good to feel that the love for BBR in this thread has not died yet.

 

[IheartCosmetics]

Ok, can't wait for pictures! Thanks girls!

 

[dreamer246]

I had no idea that they jacked up the price by so much.

 

[MrsMay]

^^ the price of these MSF's were more due to the stripes and I believe this isnt a permanent price increase for MSF's in general.

MSF's are normally $46 here and the BBR ones were $51, but I believe this was a once off.

 

[dreamer246]

But I love the stripes though.

I wear redhead as both a highlighter and a blusher..I'm NC30 for reference! I also wear it on top of other blushes

I love the MSFs out of this collection. The first time I saw them in person, I passed on all three. I didn't even try them on.

Then, the second time I went by, weeks later, I tried them on and I loved all of them. I ended up with all three MSFs and the 165 and 226 (?) brush. I love the 165 but haven't done much with the crease brush yet.

I'm NC40.

Brunette is an awesome awesome color as a blush. It's the perfect rust red/brown. I really love this color and it's pretty unique to the MSFs. I can see why lighter girls would shy away from it though.

Redhead is my favorite out of the three. It's also a pretty unique colored MSF. I've been using it for blush and highlights. I really love it on low makeup days.

Blonde is really nice too. I swapped away Petticoat but I love Blonde. I also use this as a blush and highlighter.

The quality of these MSFs seems so much better than others. I've had alot of MSFs too -- including all the way back to Metal Rock, New Vegas, Gold Deposit 1st releases. The pigmentation is so fine and the 165 is the best brush for them too.

Love love love all three MSFs. If you didn't try them on and passed on them, try them on. You might change your mind.

Hope that helps!
