I tried the CB CCB on my lips first-looooove! I passed on the stain too figuring I could use the CCB to achieve a similar look. Tomorrow I will work my way up to wearing it on my cheeks. After the FOTDs and tuts I was like oh that will be fine for me, but when I swatched it I was like hmm (I usually use either well dressed or alpha girl so this is a big jump) and then I looked up and saw a girl wearing it in the store and it was just all cheeks, like crazy bright doll cheeks! But I am going to try it anyway.
Patty you totally should wear your hair curly every now and again because it was soooo gorgeous! I loved that FOTD btw.

I promise if you just put a bit on your finger and dab it in, you will love it. It really does go on lightly if you want it to. Or, you can put a shit ton on and look ridiculous. I mean it is totally your call. That is the beauty of crushed boob.

Coach, I picked up Fresh Morning to mix with other things. And I'm going to try Elegant's suggestion to use it as a highlight at the top of the cheek/undereye.
I also need to add that Crushed Boob CCB just may be one of my favourite MAC products (and MAC and I go way back). It is just incredibly gorgeous both on the cheeks and lips. I am getting a back-up of this without any hesitation! Not sure who mentioned using the 188 (or 187?), but it worked beautifully.

Not on the lips yet! I just got Fresh Morning yesterday and I was just so in love with Crushed Boob all on its own today that I didn't bother! However, i did try it on the back of my hand, and liked how that looked, a very girly pink shade.

I knew that there was a reason I needed Fresh Morning. I am going to have to get both of the CCBs then.
Thanks Nora!!!

Guess who drove 30 mins to Nordies todayyyyyyyyyy. lol
All I picked up from this collection was the Crushed boob CCB. And my is it gorgeousssssssss, but just really creamy. :\ Lovely color though. I think I may keep it. I'll post swatches in a few.
Oh and I picked up Golden Lemon piggie from the Gold Fever collection (wow why didn't I have this earlier!)

I've got Dark Edge and have only swatched Mineral at the store. To me, D.E. is a straight up cool brown, no other tones to it. Mineral is a tad warmer with slight plummy tones. I think D.E. would go well enough with the other shadows but won't look as soft and romantic (does that make sense?). For Showstopper, from what I've read it'd be much darker than Mineral and leans on the cooler side (hints of grey/blue). HTH!

GlamYOURUs I loved your sweaty boob comment in the swatch thread!
The more I see this CCB the more I want it. So pretty!

^^^ Turned out that I like Fresh morning after seeing Ungaro yesterday.
May get it to try it under eyes suggested by elegant or mixed together with CB suggested by coachkitten. CB is very bright pink and I'm not sure if I can spread it out on my cheeks nicely. The BP is actually quite pink on me, guess because of my Asian undertones. I like e/s lilac touch. It's like what I wanted Illegal Cargo to be. I seldom use IC because it makes me look bruised. Not so shy! stained my hand and I'm scared to apply it on my lips. I imagine it will be painful to rub it off my lips (always dry unless I put l/s or balm).
I didn't get anything but put BP and CB on hold so I can think about it. Have put some pictures in the swatch thread.

Patty, great guess! Here we say it BOW too! Our overhead bridges for pedestrains and along the roads to the airport are planted with rows and rows of that in all colours. So we have to learn that in our primary school science class.

lol, yeah, I'd suggest actually applying balm first, but let it set in before using the stain. The stain does eventually wear off tho, so I don't think you'll need to rub it off. =) Just remember that a little goes a long way. I usually pat the stain over my lips then gently press my lips together to even it out. Repeat if a darker look is desired. Applying this like I usually do glosses doesn't work out as well for me, streaks everywhere. =(
**edit** For those of you curious about how to pronounce Bou-gain-whatevah, here's how Merriam-Webster does it. But of course, Crushed Boob is much funner. =)

Mineral vs. Clue:
Clue has a tinge of pearl sheen (white/silver) to it than Mineral. Clue is a Frost, and Mineral is a Satin. If you look at them side by side, Mineral is a bit warmer in color-- a tad bid redder/purple than Clue, which is cooler due to the pearl undertone. Mineral has no 'sheen' to it, good for a warmer eye combo.
Mineral vs. Dark Edge:
Dark Edge is more 'brown' than Mineral. Although they are both Satin e/s, Mineral has more of a redder tone to it--just a hint.
In all, they are different...I can't really say that one is a good dupe for another... sorry. HTH!

I just picked up the Crushed Bougainvillea CCB and it's gorgeous! I used it lightly with the MAC 187 brush ( i believe) on my cheeks. A little sure goes a long way.
I'm still torn on whether or not to get the Fresh Morning CCB. I'm NC25 now and I 'm afraid it might wash me out. But maybe I'll try it as a cheekbone highlighter. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
Hopefully I won't get any breakouts with the CCBs on my cheeks, which unfortunately the MAC blushcremes caused : (
