Early Morning is deeper and while not pure orange does lean more orange(more like sienna) than pink.

Thanks a lot for you swatches. What did you get from the collection? I am wondering about Early Morning, it does not at look look peachy-pink on you.

Nothing yet - still waiting for the collection to go up.

Now that there are lots of swatches out, my list has morphed a lot; now what I want to get is:

286 Brush
Redhead MSF
Early Morning MB
All 5 MES, Cloudy Afternoon x 2

I was originally going to get all 3 blushes but changed my mind. I don't know how often I would wear the other two.

I dont know if I should get the other two><":

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.

Think of it as a cooler (blue) pink tone rather than a warm (yellow) one.

It's definitely a straight up BLUE-pink with no coral as I could see. It looked divine and smooth!

After seeing allura's swatches, I would say they look more accurate than T's. They looked almost the same on my hand. Only FH looked a little more in your face orange.

My final list:

Sweet Sunrise
A Perfect Day
Beach Sand
Wee Coquette (which I missed before HAHAHA)
Naked Space
Fresh Air
Twilight Falls
Cloudy Afternoon

Years ago I used to stick to neutrals then discovered brights, deeps, jewel tones, etc and for the LONGEST time stayed away from neutrals (other than nude lips) out of boredom. Recently I've been buying a ton of neutrals, in particular taupes, again, and I'm on a kick so I'm sure I'll love every one of these!

If you could get either SB or Azalea Blossom, what would you get?

I'm NW10 and trying to choose.

After looking at swatches I think I'm going to get:

A Perfect Day lipstick
Early Morning blush
Twilight Falls MES

and *maybe* Daylight MES, but I'm not sure. I always buy MES and just don't use them enough because I always find myself reaching for my quads and 15 pan palettes.

I like the swatches of the MES that I have seen. It seems that there is a decent color payoff even when used dry. A lot of previous MES ( at least in my hands) need to be foiled to get decent color. Something that I don't always have time to do during the early morning rush.

Right now I still want:
Redhead
All MES
EM & FH
286
Perfect Day (?)
Sweet Sunrise (?)

I think, however, that I will need to try lip products in the store before purchasing, since nudes can be hit or miss. Plus I need to decide if I want some TDF glosses or lippies from this collection. I know that I want some of the TDF lip pencils.

So my initial order will be the mineralized products and the brush. Lippies to follow once I get to swatch them myself.

Well Allura's swatches helped me fix my problem, Early Morning would not look on me and I was actually hoping for Subtle Breeze to have the touch of coral in it as I already have a billion blue pinks. But that shall be more money to buy other yummy things in the future.

I didn't realize the MBs are so small until I read Allura's post. Are the pots the same size as the regular blushes and they just weigh less, or are the pots themselves smaller?

I'm still pondering EM myself. I have very similiar coloring to Christine at Temptalia (lucky me, it's a big help in picking what I think will work on me) but with blue eyes not brown. Most of what she can wear well I can too, except when it comes to anything orangey as I think I'm just slightly cooler in skintone than her. So I'm not sure if EM is too warm for me.

I just bought Hold That Pose MES at the store yesterday, so I think Cloudy Afternoon is a skip for me. Still unconvinced about some of the other MES (Daylight and Summer Haze).

So far my only definites are Redhead and Subtle Breeze. I have a lot of nude lippies and really don't need more.......

You're welcome! Early Morning was too deep for me, I did get the other 2 blushes. I also got Twilight Falls and daylight e/s and Fresh Air and Hot Spell lipglasses and 3 of the LE lipsticks.

Allura's site is down :( I wish she could post all swatches in the swatch thread or at least label the ones that she does post.
