cheeky bronze is a real nice color. it shows up more plum on my skin rather than a heavy bronze color. it's also real nice compliment to faddabulous, if you picked that up also.
hmmm...well, i guess the 131 is totally by preference. a lot of the gals are also debating whether or not they should get it. i got it for one reason because it's LE. lol. i just have this urge to get LE brushes because of the fear or losing out. plus i experimented with the 131 brush and it works for me as a foundation brush.

I think someone had comparison swatches of the 2 but I can't seem to find the page anywhere. Can someone tell me the difference b/w made with love and costa chic. If I already have MWL, do I need costa chic? I am unable to check it out in person so I have to order it on the mac site but only if it's a must have. Am I missing out?

I don't mean to be a de-enabler (is that a word??), but to me from the pix, is it worth having them both? I'm trying to decide between these too and am looking for the more "peachy" one but afraid that Improvise won't be a blush but more of a highlighter on me (NC40).
Are these two really different on the face (for those of you that bought both?)?
Thanks!

So the funniest thing happened to me when I went to the mall. I was sitting down cause I was tired of walking around and a lady comes up to me and asks where the MAC store was. I told her there are two one in Dillards and Nordstrom. She was like okay and was in a hurry to go. Then I realized she didn't mean MAC cosmetics....she meant MAC the apple store. *what an idiot I am* So I totally told a lady to go somewhere she did not intend to go. You see what MAC does to you? It makes you think of MAC continuously. I am a MAC crack head I guess lolz! Anyways...I know this was off topic but I thought I would share my experience with you girls. That's my story...the end.

Thanks Tish! I knew this was posted and I wasn't going crazy lol. For some reason though, I thought it was posted on the discussions thread. Unless someone that has both could convince me otherwise, they look pretty close in the swatch so I guess I could live without getting costa chic.

are you talking about C&C? it didn't turn orange on me and i'm about an nc30 right now. it has more to do with your skin chemistry than your skin tone whether a colour will turn on you or not.

I've looked at them in a whole new light ever since someone mentioned they would be great for travel. So I might pick up a couple and break my virginity to MES. Although if I keep buying MAC I'll never travel anywhere..... |

I love Refined Golden BTW. It is not too shimmery but gives a perfect sheen. |

The two swatches quite similarly but IMO they're quite different IRL especially when applied on the lips. Costa Chic is actually a brighter coral (almost like an orangey coral) while Made With Love is more of a reddish coral in comparison.

Sorry to sound dumb, but why would it explode? Heat or just tossing around?

So I checked this collection out today and these are my thoughts
Blushes- an intense amount of shimmer and random glitters, I did not like the blushes despite the smooth texture not to mention that small glitters on your cheeks is so not cute.
MSF's- Okay, I am not impressed by these. Porcelain Pink was chalky and not worth the price tag. IMO these MSF's are not unique enough to buy. If you are into a natural cheek than these will suit you, if you like dramatic cheeks PASS! Somebody on here said they would love an MSF in the color of St. Germain and I totally agree, that is what I would spend money on.
Lippies- A good part of the collection! Colour Crafted is a beautiful yet dupeable light pink. Made With Love is a unique color and would make an awesome bridal lip. NO this is NOTHING like Costa Chic. Trimming Talk is a hot pink with some blue iridescence, everyone needs a hot pink l/s! I didn't look at the others...sorry
Oh, didn't look at the glosses either
Shadows- I am not a fan of mineral shadows personally. It is very cool that you get 4 colors, but they would be annoying when trying to work with. Some were glittery.
Overall, don't fall into the hype of this collection and buy what is unique and you love. Some of this collection is dissapointing, but again these are my impressions!

mineralize products are super-fragile. the slightest bump can easily shatter em. i don't recommend carrying em around in purses, unless you want a broken product and a messy, colourful, shimmery bag interior.
