Hi, I meant to say that I purchased Warmed. I don't use the regular MSF, because I purchased Deep Dark and it looks too red on me and my undertones are yellow. I wish that one of them would work for me as a foundation.

Poor me! Am from the Philippines and i just called the store here and no news as to when we are getting the N Collection. All they know is Fafi is coming to us in April.

All but 1N are lustre’s. At least one matte would have been great considering this is a neutral collection

After an hour in the store I came away with neutral pink, rich flesh and concrete (my substitute for dark edge) I spent time looking around for comparable colors to buy for my pro pallette. Melted pots is something I need to work up the energy for. Anywhoo, this is what looked the same to me Dark Edge: Concrete, Mystery. Neutral Pink: Mink Pink w/o shimmer. But there is something pretty about Neutral Pink over Mink Pink that i couldn't resist. So that and Rich Flesh got melted last night.

This Morning I applied my new colors:
Neutral Pink- all over
Rich Flesh- lid
Concrete- crease
Naked Lunch- brow highlight
***At this point, Needed to "gold up" the look, so I swiped Ochre Style (Originals) over the lid with 224***
Satin Taupe- lower lashline
Graph Brown Fluid Line- Eyeliner
DiorShow-Mascara

Overall pretty good and could be smoked up for night.
Well, BACK 2 MAC, literally, with my melted pots!

This combo sounds nice...I have to try it. What lippie combo did you wear with it?

BTW, I am NC25-30 (closer to 30 right now...) but the colors you used are neutral enough for me to wear.

I swatched the eyeshadows on my hand then went home to try and find dupes. I found that Neutral Pink looked exactly like Zeal (from the 2006 Technicolor collection) when swatched on my NC20 skin. Except Zeal is a Velvet (but I find that sparkles usually fall off anyway). Neutral Pink is really gorgeous but I'm not going to buy it as I already have Zeal. HTH!

Ok so yesterday I ended up getting both MSF's Warmed and Light Flush. I love Warmed, it gives me this iridescent "warm" glow. However, Light Flush is very pretty when I did a swatch, but it looked almost metalic-y on my face. It also made my pores look huge. I don't know if this was because I used it over my new Sue Devitt foundation or what. I might end up returning the Light Flush, even though I don't want to.

I applied Chai lipglass (my all time favorite neutral) with Cork liner, Chestnut (I prefer Cork, but I was running late so I could only grab Chestnut) will do as well. When I use brown liners, I try not to conjure up my high school years with the dark liner lipgloss combo

, so i lightly apply the liner and press my lips together, then add the l/g.

Speaking of lip liners, Creamola has been my #1 favorite liner. For a really sexy look that makes my lips look very full, I softly line with Creamola thenj ust use the MAC lip prime in the slim lip tube over my lips.

Seems like several others purchased nearly identical products to me (AudreyNicole!! LOL I love that you're NW15 too--helpful for the lippies and the fact you usually see stuff and let us know before I get a chance to go!)

Got Nanogold and Neutral Pink e/s (the other ones either were my skintone shade and melted right in (i think modest tone did this) or they were blah dupable browns similar to what I already owned)
-Light Flush MSF (though Bobbi Brown Rose shimmerbrick gives me something similar but I'm keeping it!)
-Demi Blanc n/p
-3N lipstick--->I thought this was too close to my natural lip colour but its a nice nudie pink--not too garishly nude...works well for me!
-Light Medium natural MSF just b/c I wanted one to set my foundation.
$134.96 later--OUCH! Typing that out makes me think I don't NEED Warmed MSF.....

LOL looks like we did get alot of the same products! I felt the same way about the eyeshadows. I got the same 2 that you did. I felt the others either didn't show up on me or were easily dupeable. Glad to know I can cross the Rose Shimmerbrick off my list cause I got Light Flush. It is my new love. It is a perfect blush for NW15. I am wearing 3N today and love that as well!

ETA: I was contemplating Warmed too, but I had Shooting Star and swapped it. Skipped Global Glow. I figure if I can live without those, I can live without this one too. While it would be more wearable than SS and GG for us fair girls, I still don't think I would use it enough to warrant spending $24.50 on it. I prefer pink on my cheeks, so I could not pass up Light Flush. I might even get a backup. I really LOVE it!

Mine has lasted a long time. It depends on the user I guess.
