I am NW15 and Porcelain Pink acts almost as a beauty powder on me. It is very light and gives a nice all over glow. That being said if you have quite a few beauty powders like pretty baby, flower mist due, and some of the other light pink ones I think that you can skip Porcelain Pink. Porcelain Pink does offer a slight sheen to it so if you are looking for an all over face brightner with a little bit of shimmer than you might like it. It is pretty but IMO it isn't overly unique.

But I am still debating which MSFs to get and which to skip. My wallet only wants 3, but of course I want 4: Porcelain Pink, Cheeky Bronze, Triple Fusion & Smooth Merge... So, my main question is, is Porcelain Pink a must have? I know it's kind of a classic, so if I don't have it, do I need it? And I guess I'm also wondering, is Cheeky Bronze orangey-coral or pinky-coral? And would it be too harsh on my NC20 skin? TIA!

i'd say its about the size of the 129 (when they both first come outta the plastic. i'm not sure what kinda shape the 131 will take on after its been used.

they didn't bring em back. this is a different formula/visual. these are swirled lipglasses (same price), where the tricolour had three different formulas of gloss (hence the higher price).

Face products that are too frosty might be bad or good, depending on what kind of look you're trying to achieve.
If a frosty product is over-used, you can look like a disco ball. Not good at all.
But if it's used really sparingly, it might be okay. BUT, if used too sparingly, you won't get the color that you see in the packaging. (Yeah...it's confusing
)
I really can't justify buying a product that is too frosty, cause I absolutely hate them.
Sorry if I'm not much of a help here

The redhead dupe: triple fusion, and I'd say cheeky bronze. PP seems to be too light even for some nc and nw15's

I say Cheeky Bronze as well since you don't really have a peachy, coral MSF yet.

Thanks, Katie! How do you think it compares to Lightscapade? I mean, is it pretty much as light? I don't really use Lightscapade a lot so I don't know if I another really light color...

Anyhow I wouldn't have been able to make it down on Sunday, but I'll go down later today to check it out (I sure hope it's not some Tangs member exclusive thing). 
I really hope Cheeky Bronze is still in stock, that's the MSF I want the most! Any idea how much it's retailing for? |

At the mo, only the MSFs, MESs, lippies, and glosses are in stock. The blushes and 131 aren't in yet. The MSFs are all S$46, which is a welcome surprise considering that the BBR MSFs were S$52, supposedly because of the stripes. This time around, no "striping surcharge"!
I bet Cheeky Bronze is still in stock because it looks much darker in pan than it does on, so although it gives a warm coral pink glow to skin, the pan makes it look like it would swipe yuck brown.

I have both Lightscapade and PP. They swatch differently in that LSP comes off as a light-yellow evenly pearly shimmer, whereas PP comes off as a sparse iridescently light pink with fine gold shimmer. LSP is prettier IMO, but they are both very light

Is Tangs Orchard the only counter that is selling this?
EDIT: How much are the MES retailing for?

I have Moon River mb and Perfect Topping msf which both produce a pinky glow on my NC20 skin. I really only use them as highlighters.
I was going to get Porcelain Pink but it sounds like I could skip it then? I don't think I need another highlighter as I also have Nars Albatross, Soft and Gentle msf and Vanilla Pigment.

^Wow really? I must rethink about purchasing PP then because I don't need another PT. I thought PP would have been a really nice, light pink blush...

Abby I totally agree with what stickles said. Porcelain Pink swatches as a light salmon pink with low level shimmer and Lightscapade swatches as more of an opalescent pearl. They are really two way different highlighters. Like I said before I like wearing Porcelain Pink lightly all over the face due to the minimal shimmer. Lightscapade is a lot frostier.

Lightscapade and Porcelain pink are completely different. Both are great for fair-skinned ladies. Lightscapade gives a whitish pearly highlight, whereas PP gives a pink highlight with gold sparkles. If you use PP wet, it will be more frosty and the pink shimmer will be more noticable and prettier.
I sold mine because I didn't like the gold sparkles, but I have been missing it sometimes so I might pick it up again with the less gold veining.
