Jingle Jangle looks like Steppin' Out and Internationalist so I passed. I tried on Boy Bait and although I find the colour very pretty, it is sheer and settles into the fine lines on my dry lips so I don't like it. I can apply balm before applying the gloss but I'm too lazy. Pervette is pretty, looks like a softer and pink-er Fashion Mews. The MES are pigmented and smooth except for the glitter crescents. Lucky Number is a little bit streaky. Jeanette, I think it looks a little bit more berry pink than the pic in vampy varnish. It is cool, not a warm pink. I think I may go back for She-Zam only. I need to use my budget on holiday makeup wisely.

Thank you for your review!

Emotion and Admire from China Glaze are warm so I think they should be different enough to Lucky Number to purchase it? The new Khromes also don't have a cool pink so I am looking forward to Lucky Number. I am curious if it would work for Konad.

Staying tune to hear from you about trying Lucky Number on Konad! Pics would be good.

the brush is drying so i can use it as we speak! hee hee! i also bagged otherworldy paint pot which is also nice!

and back to topic... jingle jangle dazzleglass surprises me because as others have said - it looks more pigmented than the usual d/g's. and the glitter flecks look particularly nice in this one!

plus i'm a little sad that i'm skipping the cremesheen glosses - but i just don't think i'll like them. and don't want to waste my money on something i won't use!

OK, I'll consider getting both of the MB. I'm glad that I passed on the Grand Duo blushes since I've heard that they are so glittery. I only own Merrily MB from Sonic Chic and I love that blush!

LMD84: Congrats on finding Danger Zone MES at your CCO!!!! I haven't used mine in awhile and I will need to start using it now.

The Sonic Chic blushes were marvelous. It's great to hear that the MBs in this collection are similar.

Especially since I found the Grand Duo MBs much too frostly/sparkly for my personal taste.

 

[Camnagem]

I cancelled my order for the MB's...I had to. I went a little overboard on blushes (damn NARS!) with the Sephora F&F.

If these are still around in late November I'll scoop them up in a heartbeat. Gotta love birthday money and gift cards!

Sapnap - Thanks so much for that link, what great pics!

 

[MzzRach]

NARS blushes are amazing. Good call.

I had Lucky Number on last week and I had NO problems with it being streaky at all! I was kinda expecting it too since my other MAC polishes are. It is such a pretty metallic silver pink...girly but not over the top girly.

I am not a fan of pink nails...i'll take teals, greens, blues, purples any day! So for me to REALLY love this color...that's saying a lot. If I didn't have so much nailpolish I would back this baby up!

I am in love with Conjure up!! the perfect amount of shimmer!! soo pretty. I also got MAC Captive lipstick and it goes soo well with the blush!!

 

[kiss]

The Grand Duos were the best blushes that Mac came out with in my opinion. I ditched all my other blushes since then and I am a total blush whore. I wish I didn't buy the Sonic Chic ones because I have to swipe so many times and I am lazy. hahaa

 

[Face2Mac]

^^I don't have to swipe Sonic Chic ones like LoveThing and LoveJoy but I have to swipe a lot for Gentle to show, cause mine is hard, don't know why. I couldn't get down with the Grandduo but I sure did try.

But check out the new ones, highly pigmented with one swipe esp. Conjure Up.

 

[Susanne]

I want Conjure Up for sure! And wear Gentle quite often these days

 

[Face2Mac]

^^Take Gentle with you to do a comparison on your cheeks. I can see the difference on me but everyone's body cheek barometer, lol, is not the same.

I am glad that you love the Grand Duos.

I was tempted to purchase some of them too but I already had similar colors and the shimmery finish scared me a bit so I skipped them.

The Sonic Chic ones work great for me too and I don't need to pick up a lot of product. Especially with Merrily one swipe too much and I look like a clown!

I can't wait to get the two blushes from this collection.

 

[GlamQueen21]

You guys!!!!!! I saw this collection in person!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I swatched Blue Sorcery, Devil-May Care, Mayhem, Midnight Madness, It's A Miracle and Under Your Spell! I told myself that I was going to skip the MES but Midnight Madness won me over!!! Also, I swatched Superdupernatural MB and Phiff! Dazzleglass and they are gorgeous!!!!! I also swatched Pervette, Utter Fun and Surprise Me lipsticks and Surprise Me l/s is calling me! Also, when I swatched Pervette, it reminded me a little bit of Fashion Mews that I haven't touched. Although this collection is like "Red" She Said again. I'll end up with one MES again when I first purchased Danger Zone MES.

 

[TeresitaMC]

OK, nobody is helping me to NOT want to pick up Midnight Madness!

 

[elegant-one]

Midnight Madness is Beautiful!

I just ordered both blushes!

I called my other MAC artist & she said they were beautiful on. I trust her a lot & she has super pale skin like me.

I also bought that Nars Goddess ES Pencil
Mally's 3 eyeliner pencils
2 Smashbox Lip Tech in the pots - love these big time!

Oh, I used the D2 Fuchsia Fix & then verrry lightly applied Utter Fun ls over it - gorgeous!
