I've been stalking this collection like a hawk! The only thing that interests me is Light Year MSF but should I save up for the Tom Ford Love Lust blush ($55) or get Light Year MSF ($29) instead?
Btw Allura just released a post on the cremesheen glasses and MES!

The 182 for buffing and should you want a face powder brush (for an all over dust of setting powder) I would get the 134, but it''s pricey...
Other requests?
I'm still kinda old school (well, i'm old, after all
) and use my fingers for many face products (primer, concealer, liquid foundation). I use MAC 188 for most blushes and a fluffy angled eye shadow brush for highlighters - i really want to control exactly where i'm putting it. And a fluffy blush brush for my face powder. But i'm willing to change and expand my repertoire...
I'm especially interested in eye brush recommendations - applying, blending, lining, etc.
I have all sorts of not super special eye shadow brushes - when i got back into makeup a few years ago after a hiatus i didn't want to sink the big bucks into brushes i might never use. Some are ok, but i'm sure there are better. I mostly use powder shadows, both pressed & loose - i want to try some wet. And i have a few cream shadows.
And i'm still looking for a REALLY FINE eye liner brush. I like tight lining, especially on my upper lid. Had a great one i bought in Japan in 1972, but i lost it a couple year ago and haven't found one as good since. I use dry cake, gel/cream, and liquid liners.
Sorry if someone already asked, i guess i'll eventually find the message. There's so much Swirl Party-ing going on in here it's hard to keep up!

The handful of times I've tried to use pixie epoxy my eyelids had this gross sticky feeling like there was fly trap goo on them and I couldn't ignore it lol.

If you're a fan of Tom Ford, I say go for it, however if you're wanting to look at the amount of product, Light Year gives you 2g more product (10g for MAC MSF versus 8g for TF Blush) and is $26 less.

woot. That's what I like to do with Shimmermint MES from Glitter & Ice. Its sheer shimmery goodness is perfect for night's out.

That's true. I like saving money but I'm sadly a blush fanatic and can't decide if buying a "luxury" brand blush is actually worth the extra $$. Of course it differs by brand but that makes the choice all that more difficult!

First.... I think I need a back-up of Meteoric! It's SO gorgeous!! Also, I need Earthly. Time for a second order I guess! Second, I wore Magnetic Attraction over Chilled On Ice p/p with Twilight Falls in the crease and Teddy eye kohl as a liner. I loved it! Very pretty combo.

Sounds like a good idea...but now I'm tempted by Neo Nebula, looks like it could be really pretty as an eyeshadow and as a blush maybe *sighs* I'm hopeless. If I actually got everything that I'm tempted by in this collection, it would be over $300

Don't worry about swatching. Just enjoy your goodies!
I saw Christine (Temptalia)'s review at youtube. I thought Earthshine would make a beautiful eyeshadow. I liked the lighting in her video.

For the first time since falling for mac and wanting a coll I didn`t order right away. It took me 2 days to decide, T`s swatches helped because is similar to may skintone and i`m familiar with her ways. unfortunately cut a caper sold out. I bought Star wonder msf and I`m still undecided about centre of the universe. From the swatches i`ve seen it could be very similar with nars luster on my skin. I would love one like duckrodeo "drunk swirler" but what are the chances to that?
The mes are still a enigma for me, too many, though they look very beautiful
