I have So Ceylon and Brunette and can wear both of them using my 188 (and now the 131) without them looking too dark on. I haven't actually tried Warm Blend on, but I'm guessing it should be similar.

I tried it a few times, and it just doesn't do anything for me at all. It doesn't give much colour and the shimmer isn't a smooth finer milled shimmer. It actually looked bad on my olive skin.

So the only the left that I'm lemming now is Fad-dabulous, which I've swatched countless times, thought it looks pretty, but held myself back! I have enough points still to redeem one more $20 gift card, so I might as well get it over with at some point in the next week!

You are correct IMO regarding Warm Blend...exactly!! My MA is NC15-20 and it looked so great on her...she was wearing it solo... I was lemming Fad-Dab too...but I will resist!!

Yay that is good news-- I do feel closer and closer to getting it, thank you very much! I think with a light hand and in the right places it may be a nice breath of fresh air from all my pinky and peachy MSFs

Lol lol you really are an enabler-- if it's worth a b/u then it must be good!

Don't worry, you act as if buying a b/u would be shameful when in fact we are all addicts who appreciate the art of b/u buying

You are in good company here- as you well know!

Like I said before, think of it more as an insurance policy! Just in case one gets dropped!

 

[coachkitten]

I need to stop reading this thread! I want warm blend and sunny by nature. ENABLERS!!

And Tish! A buckup!?! Seriously?

EDIT: I meant to say BACKUP not buckup! Geez.....

K, now I can get a BU of SBN and be guilt free!

 

[GlamQueen21]

Tish!! You broke the bu rule! Shame on you!

Since you got a backup of Warm Blend, now I'm going to get a backup of something from this collection.

I think the shadows are good....However I would not get them before any of the MSF or Blushes at all......I got Assemblage but I am sure I could have duped the colors in my stash but I wanted it...But I would not have gotten it b4 any of the other items in the collection...

 

[blindpassion]

I ended up getting Smooth Merge, Triple Fusion, and Made with love.

The rest of it blah'd me.

inspiration at the counter. which is a bit of a recipe for disaster

i know that i will skip the MES (i have many many e/s), and check out the MSF. no blushes for me either, as i am pale enough that MSF show up like blushes on me. and maybe the 131 if it blows me away.

meh. i dont know. i am doubting MAC at the moment with their stupid price increases here, when MAC is already expensive.

I, too, like a light hand and in the right places

I am so glad we can relate to each other in other parts of our lives.

So I finally got Blonde MSF and I was so excited, I just kept staring at all the way home and when I tried in on, I could've just dropped kick my own arse for not getting it when it came out.

I do like Smooth Merge, though.

 

[darkishstar]

Oh gosh, the lipgloss packagingis so annoying.
I'm seriously tempted to return Eclectic Edge.

 

[LMD84]

^ totally agree on the packaging! but i won't return mine because i love the colour so much! and the formula!

wearing smooth merge again today just as a blush. love it! the only thing i may get at a later date is the 131 brush. i really wanted it but cannot afford anything else this month... if it's still there in august i may splurge and get it

loving the 226 that hubby got me though! it's perfect!

 

[Face2Mac]

Frozen Dreams l/g from the Chill collection has killed my craving for Electric and especially because of the packaging, we will all see it in the CB or CCO in 3-6 months.

I am on a no-buy until the next collection.

LOL, how do you decide what to back up and what to not back up. I am new to this whole makeup world and I do want to back up both Warm Blend and Smooth Merge, but how do you know??
