I read somewhere that the Mineralized Blushes are more like the most recent collection of MBs, rather than the Sonic Chic ones. I have a bunch of the Sonic Chic ones (Pleasantry, Love Thing, Gentle...) and I love them, but I bought one of the newer ones, and I hated it. MUCH to glittery for my taste, not smooth and glowy like the older ones. If these have any glitter or a ton of shimmer, I won't be buying. Glitter on my eyes is one thing, but it's a no-no for my face...

I only have Golden Apricot and love it
I swatch them everytime I go to Sephora though and want to get a couple more. I have Honedipped and Sunwept on my list to buy next
These are so pigmented unlike the MAC MSF's.

Oooh, is there any way possible that you might be able to do swatches of the ones you have? I am interested in getting some, but I'd love to see what they look like on you

Thank you so much!
I use the macro (flower) setting when I do mine, and they usually come out ok. I really appreciate it

I've seen those Laura Geller blush/bronze and brightens on QVC (yes, I watch QVC for entertainment with no intention to actually purchase anything.
)
but I've never actually tried them out. They look gorgeous!
If this collection ends up being a disappointment, I'll have to check those out.
But seriously, now that y'all are saying that these are more shimmery than glowy, I'm feeling a bit torn.

- Hello my loves! -
Laura Geller advertises the baked aspect of her products way more than MAC does. She tells the whole story of how they're baked in Italy in terracota tiles, etc.
Temptalia posted swatches of Laura Geller blushes a few days ago on her site

Are you kidding? They are GREAT swatches! So helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to do them
I am really loving the looks of the 2 pinker ones... maybe I will ask for these for my birthday instead of the CC MSFs and blushes! They look great!

Oh, but hun, I thought you didn't like MSFs that were sheer? Porcelain Pink will strictly be used for highlighting. I considered it too, since it looks a lot prettier than the new MSFs, but I don't know if I need another highlighting product.

No I don't have loads. I only have 5 - 3 from BBR and 2 from Sugar Sweet. Yet I'm not excited after seeing the pics too. After all the hype, these were really disappointing indeed. Plus Smooth Merge and Triple Fusion looks so similar to Blonde and Redhead which I already own (and love). Like Elaine mentioned, it seems like MAC is churning out similar MSFs but only in different forms - marbelized, stripes, and now 2 large stripes with a thin middle stripe.
Anyway, which 2 are you eyeing?

^^ Pamela, thanks a lot for the swatches! They look awesome!
I've never heard of Laura Gellar before, I hope it's available here. *crosses fingers* Those are similar to MSFs, right?

No problem
Yes they are like the msf's but WITH color! I absolutely love them
Now I just need to get Pink Grapefruit *sigh* Oh, I was looking on Temptalia and someone said that Pink Grapefruit was super close to Stereo Rose!?? Does anyone here have those two to compare?
Ok back to topic-I was super excited for this round of msf's but honestly they don't look all that great? Hmm, hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised in person

I quite liked the stripes of the BBR ones. But, IMO, those BBR stripes made sense - you can actually see how one color transcends into the next. These Color Craft MSFs stripes seem kinda random and odd to me. Just my opinion.
As for how many bronzer types you'll need, I guess that depends on how frequently you wear bronze colors. No point getting a whole bunch of them if you hardly use bronze on your cheeks.
EDIT: Oh by the way, I saw that you're from Christchurch, NZ? My parents just came back from a holiday trip there (they visited Christchurch and Queenstown, and they loved it.
)

It was released a few weeks ago, it's called Pink Apricot. I think the other one is called Down To Earth
