@Mac-Guy I am beyond excited about that Fresh Honey blush now. I LOVE orange blushes. Orange and apricot colors are my go-to's for women of color and lighter skin tones that are in the NC ranges. Pinks tend to look like sidewalk chalk...so i'm really excited about this tho...thanx for the swatches!

Me too, but so far no luck! The only thing that will make me hesitate is if I hear any are sparkle city, but I am srsly considering giving up the MSF if necessary to be sure I have enough cash for all the MB. I can score Redhead and Blonde at a CCO or on the clearance bin if necessary. I have a feeling these blushes could become HTF

You and me both! I just put in an order with MAC for some staple products I'm out of and that was costly enough. Shopping this collection is going to be really frickin' hard if none of the products are bad! My main focus are the MES and blushes...I'm training myself to believe I don't need either of the two MSFs, lol. I've streamlined my shopping list by completely avoiding the lip products and brushes, since the 286 is going to be permanent and there's no rush to get it. I think if I can stick to just getting the blushes and MES, I'll be fine! I'll be doing my darndest to keep true to that!
Out of curiosity, I've got a question for you all. Do you think that we might see any of the Naturally colors again in the big summer mineralize collection? I mean, I wasn't terribly surprised to see one or two MES shades from Glitter and Ice that had strong resemblance to Semi Precious MES shades, but do you think the shades we see in January will make an appearance again in July (blush or MES)?
Me too, LOL. There's no way I will be able to afford everything that I'd like to get from this collection, I have to cut down my list. My focus is also on the blushes, so maybe I can talk myself out of the MSFs. Do I need them? I'm NW 10-15.
I really like some MSFs a lot, like Lightscapade, and Porcelain Pink. But Petticoat or By Candlelight I don't like much, so it really varies for me. If I have to choose, I'll definitely go for the blushes and skip the MSFs, but I always feel like I want to collect them, no matter if I'd use them a lot or not.

I'm going to step in as the Anti-Enabler for you and all the other gals wondering about if they should get the MSF or focus on getting the blushes instead.Me too, LOL.

My feeling is the re-promoted MSFs are not ever going to be as nice as the brand new MSFs, that are using the newest formulas and are so much smoother and less work. None of my older MSFs hold a candle to the Semi-Precious ones (or even the Wonder Woman ones that I didn't get because they were the wrong shades for my skin).
Meanwhile the blushes are every variety of the latest MB formulas, which are fantastic. They've only had one issue in the past few collections, which is they aren't as long lasting as some other powder blushes. Still, I'd rather do a quick touch up of an MB, since they're so glowing, natural and fresh on the skin - and this batch has such beautiful colors too. My MAs have been raving about these blushes since they saw them in training.
Summary: Wait for new MSFs, buy MBs!
Is that tough enough anti-enabling ranting for you?

Oh, hard to say, but if it'd help you, I'll try to make some swatches once I am back home. Even though I am afraid there are no real good arguments against collecting

The 222 is not available on the website, PRO or otherwise. Every MAC MUA I've talked to says it's discontinued as well. And hasn't been available at the last 3 MAC stores I've checked (and they were all in different States). I know it WAS a permanent brush, but from the looks of things it's been discontinued. I wish you were right, but it certainly doesn't seem that way.

Ahh, see I'm the opposite of all of you above^. There is NO WAY IN HELL I'll skip Redhead. Redhead is THE most flattering cheek/face product I own for my skin tone. Whenever I want to look my best, I wear Redhead. So even if I went broke and became homeless before this collection hits counters, I would still buy Redhead.

I don't think that any of these blushes will be repromoted with the big mineralize collection in July. However, maybe some of the shades might turn up in a later collection.

I'm with you. I wouldn't skip the MSF's, especially as the stripes in these particular MSF's make it easy to pick up individual colors. But I wouldn't want to miss out on the MB's either!

Arggh. i got underpaid for my job. so it looks like I cant afford much from these collections. I was going to get Redhead but the only MSF i use on a regular basis is my Semi precious pearl. So I might end up getting one MB & one lippie or e/s.
I just don't know which MB

I think you can narrow it down to Fresh Honey and Early Morning.
