I do need a serious spanking from you since I don't have Warm Blend. I will order Warm Blend next week if it's available online.

Sorry you didn't get any presents, Winnie,

I only bought cheeky bronze msf (didn't like the rest of the msfs and i already own porcelain pink) and 3 mineralized blushers - improvise, daft pink and hand finish.
I love them all.
Cheeky bronze gives such a nice healthy peach glow (with a slight golden sheen) on the face. A definite must haf for fans of peachy blushers. I'm a sucker for peach blushers.
And although the mineralized blushers look shimmery when swatched, but they are actually not that shimmery when applied on the face. Only a golden sheen is seen on the face when i applied daft pink, improvise and hand finish. No chunky glitters or whatsoever. Love the color
Does anyone feel that the e/s in this collection are gritty in texture? I didn't like the texture of the e/s and hence didn't buy a single e/s from this collection even though they look gorgeous in the pan

i had a quick peeek at colorcraft today. i was a tad... dissappointed.
the blushes didn't seem as pigmented as i'd liked them to be and looked like they would work better layered over something. i really liked improvise in the pan... but on my hand it looked like a peachy highlighter
though the lighting was kinda poor. i think i like the permanent blushes better. but i will have a better look this weekend.
who knows. i could just be lying to myself to save money.........................................
but i went ga ga goo goo over the MSFs. couldn;t decide which to get... smooth merge for sure and that cheeky bronze looked really nice...
the eyeshadows were a disapointment.. so i tell myself.
lipglosses are beautiful! too bad for the shitty applicator. pass.
i ended up going to sephora to buy urban decay electric blue mascara. my bf was nice enough to unsanitarily test colors on the very ends of his lashes. LoL!!!!!!!!!
and now i am fantasy shopping and putting thigns in my cart.. whooooo

I won't go back for lippies which I thought of, but maybe when starflash comes back in I will B2M. Even though the lipglosses are beautiful, I won't do those either and I did post that I found frozen dream l/g so that killed my lemming for EE. So in essence, arrivederci Colour Craft. |

Like Porcelain Pink it looks good over a blush as a highlight...But it is really a beautiful color..Not too frosty and not as pink pink as Daft Pink....I already had Love Rock, Pleasantry and Moon River it is kinda in the middle of those...Daft Pink was too close to Love Rock and Pleasantry so I picked the Hand Finish...I just wore it for the 1st time today ..sad thing I forgot I even had it

I went by my Nordies counter this evening, they had all of this collection still, minus the 226.
I didn't even look at the GG palette, it was sold out anyways!

each quad has one or two colours that is chunkier. with the two i have (assemblage and natural flare), the white in A and the light gold and gold in NF is chunky. the remaining colours are smooth.

Not a problem. I'm sure most of those items that I've listed will work on you, they're all warm bronze/peach/coral colors except Daft Pink (but this was so pretty I couldn't resist).
Let me know what you get in the end!

I disagree. I think the blushes are pigmented enough. For those that seem sheer, the intensity is definitely buildable. And I doubt Improvise will work as a highlighter, it's definitely blush material if you're of about the same skintone as me (NC35).

I don't think I will be getting Madly Creative as well. My pigmented lips didn't like it.
Ditto about the frosts, but there certainly some exceptions, and Purple Rite is one of them.

I am sure it quite lovely, evidenced by most swatches but I don't do frost, I couldn't even pull the trigger on Purple Rite because it was frost. |

I caved and bought the #131 at that counter because it was the last piece there, and last pieces are always particularly tempting.
Didn't receive any presents for my birthday this year

Do you have Cheeky Bronze, Nuance, or Earth To Earth? If so you can skip Cheek & Cheerful, unless you're obsessed about such color then get it.
If you have Fun & Games BPB you can skip Improvise, unless once again you're totally in love with such colors.

I am loving Daft Pink more and more! It looks really nice over On a Mission, too. Just a very light dusting of DP over OAM, beautiful!
Now I am kind of lemming Hand Finish. This weekend I might go and check it out again, see if it is less shimmery on my cheeks than on my hand (DP was).

Since you mentioned, I'm wearing On A Mission blush today, with Smooth Merge dusted over the apples of my cheek using the #131. It's a lovely combo.
I must say that Smooth Merge is definitely highlighter material on me though. I like that it is warmer than Blonde MSF, so I don't have to worry about it being too cool-toned.

on a second note, I tried cheeky bronze with fix plus (think u had mentioned this before) at the store and I LOVEE IT..
and i used it with the 131 , it was not glittery at all!.. i think the more u use it, the layers at the bottom are nice and smooth (i dunno how tho). think am going bk again
