Damn. I don't have the money for this. How do y'all think beach sand and a perfect day will look on a neutral NW/NC 20. I'm also considering FH and EM

PD will be a great nude whereas BS is certainly more noticeable but I'd still call it a nude shade. I do love BS in combination with a very neutral eye and Fresh Honey blush.

I had a long, long wishlist for this collection in the beginning and I am very pleased that I've managed to whittle it down with all the swatches popping up. I'm most interested in Subtle Breeze and Early Morning but will be checking out Beach Sand and A Perfect Day as well. I'm excited for the blushes! I think Early Morning will be AWESOME.

Thanks! I really just want Beach Sand for the name. It might help me forget I live in land locked Ohio for a bit, lol.

I think I'm just going to get FH & EM blushes, PD & BS l/s, and MAYBE Naked Space & Hot Spell. We'll see how much I end up wanting from Iris Apfel before I say yes to those lipglasses for sure.

This is exactly why I'm not sure bout the blushes. NC15 is actually still a tad dark for me, even the lightest in the MUFE hd foundation.

I think orange will look flattering on NC complexion, though if you are very pale NC10 - 20, it will certainly be a noticable blush.

Ah man...after seeing Christine's swatch of A Perfect Day, it doesn't look as pink as I'd like it to be. However, I AM loving a couple of the mineral blushes...what to doooooo? D;

I am so confused or I see things I want to see.

What I see is dupes in my collection or least I think so:

Early Morning= Gleeful MB on T's swatch but not Ernie

Fresh Honey= Nars Gina

Now I read that Touch is Pillow Talk which turns me off from that and Hot Spell looks so much darker on Ernie's swatches.

I want A Perfect Day but only because Janet Jackson is wearing a nude pink lip in Nutrisystem commercial and whereas I should be focusing on getting my pre-baby body back, I am focusing on her lips.

I`m interested in cloudy afternoon mes and maybe early morning blush. The mblushes though they fade in 3 hours on me, the previous ones, so seeing that it`s still not performing on it`s own very well I might skip it

Hey, it was nice meeting you!

You better hurry back because they only got small quantities. I really love Fresh Morning too. I can see it being an everyday blush for me. Like you, I am sure I'll be back to get some more but I'll wait until it officially releases next week.

We have to meet up again soon.

Like I mentioned in another thread I went to Pro this morning and this was one of the 3 new collections they had out. I totally ignored the lippies and the eyeshadows. I've never been a fan of mineralized eyeshadows and I got my fill of them this year. However the mineralized blushes were AWESOME!!!!!! I only walked away with one Early Morning but I KNOW I will be back(most likely in the morning) to grab at least one more!. I got Early Morning described by MAC as a peachy pink. I read some of the concerns about orangeness earlier in this tread. Like someone said( MAC-Guy) try it. Orange is a VERY flattering color on WOC. I can see this becoming a go to blush for me. I have Fresh Honey next in my sights!!!!




Side note: I met a fellow Specktrette at the Pro Store this morning!!!!! Shout out to afulton!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for this post MAC-Guy!


I think that this is exactly my problem....I am not used to it!
It was the same with the Optical Bronzer.At first I did not really like it on me but I went on wearing it and now I really love it.
I will get all 3 MBs from this collection and can wait play with Early Morning and especially Fresh Honey!
FH is definitely a challenge for me as I am very cool toned and fair (NC10) ....let`s see if I can make it work for me!

Mac-Guy said:
Re the orangeness: Keep in mind that we are not used to see a lot of orange blushes, thus applying shades like FH and even EM might feel very unusual at first - to say the least. Take time to embrace this new fashion as we will see a lot more orange in the near future. With every new trend, it takes some time to get accustomed to a new color. But remember that these MB's are very blendable and you can control the amount of brightness. Also, use different brushes to apply them.

For example, the 131 will give a very different result than the 188 or 109. Personally, I would only apply FH with the 131. It layers the color beautifully in one brush stroke; the 109 would be far too heavy for my pale skin (although I love that brush for other blushes); the 188 is too flimsy to apply FH and blending it out will result in too much orangeness on my skin. Having said that, you don't need to use MAC brushes, but as I don't know much about other brands, these are the only ones that I can honestly comment on. I made brush recommendations for each blush in my earlier reviews if you are interested.

I hope this helps everybody in deciding what to order.

I don't know if it's just my screen but every swatch I've seen of Subtle Breeze, it does not look like a blue pink, it looks like it has a touch of coral in it. I can't decide if I want Subtle Breeze or Early Morning, I can only afford one and I can't swatch them myself since the only store that sells MAC is over an hour away. But I'm not sure which one would look better on me since I'm very pale and cool toned.
