Do any of you lovely ladies know if any of the MSF's are similar to those that came out in the Blonde Brunette Redhead collection? Judging by swatches Triple Fusion reminds me a lot of Redhead MSF...

Some people who have reviewed this brush believe the bristles to be 'soft' and others have claimed its downfall is that it is actually 'scratchy'.
One review gussed the earlier ones in the BBR collection released may have in fact been soft while those released later (in the same collection) somehow changed to being scratchy.
I have NO idea what to expect with the ones coming out with Colour Craft, but I'm hoping someone is kind enough to come back with an answer here on specktra so I know exactly whether I want to purchase this brush or not. The alleged inconsistency is absolutely KILLING me.
Aside from the 226 which I may or may not decide I must have (whether it confirms or dispells my concerns) I'm really digging the Smooth Merge MSF.
I may just settle for these two because I am predisposed with the Love that Look collection (hello STARFLASH 8D)

I believe there are comparison pics in the swatch thread.

hello, was wondering if there is any comparison swatch between triple fusion n improvise? from KarlaSugar's swatches they look pretty similar, both being peach based. TF is a more golden peach while improvise is just sparkly peach?
TIA!
am cutting down on MAC hauling cuz my finance situation won't allow me to splurge!
btw my confirmed list: Cheeky Bronze MSF & Fadabulous
i feel Daft Pink & Hand Finish are easy dupes?

Thanks Ernie, yea redheads lighter. I'm actually liking redhead more based on the swatch, so MAYBE I can skip Triple Fusion. That would make my wallet so happy!!!

This confirms it. Triple Fusion is officially off my list, and Improvise has been added on. (I really hope I don't change my mind when I see triple fusion though especially with my frequent impulse purchases lol) I want so much from this collection (I love ANYTHING mineralize) so the more I can take off my list means more $$$ to the next collections.

Ernie, I was just looking through your swatches and noticed from the pics, redhead looks similar to improvise. How do they compare? Irunno if it's the lighting b/w both pics, but they look super close

I thought I wanted Triple Fusion, but wasn't all that excited about it in person. Smooth Merge is the only one I'm getting of the MSF. SM didn't seem to have that shiny, rainbow "fish scale" look that a lot of the MSFs have. I just don't care for that on my skin.
Someone mentioned glitter in the blushes - no, there isn't glitter in the Mineral Blushes. They are very very soft.

I'm excited about smooth merge. It was the first msf that caught my eye when pics of this collection first came out. Even though I already have blonde and many have compared them as being similar, I'm lemming over that raspberry stripe in the middle. I just wish it wasn't the middle thin part. MAC- you just HAD to make it the smaller stripe?????????
