Argghh I officially have no money, I need some fast for this collection! lol. I think I am just getting Petticoat but I totally want the 181 (i have the 182 and it is amazingggg) and I want Soft & Gentle but hopefully I can get that at a later date. I really wanted the loose shimmery powders but I am going to have to pass, since I have plenty of MSFs to do the same job I guess.

No stupid question.
Most of us use MSFs as a blush or as a highlighter. They give an awesome sheen if you apply them with the 187, 188 or 182.
You can use them on cheeks, under your eyebrows or on decollete.

I don't think I want anything in this collection.
If they only brought back Warmed...aaaaa I would so buy back ups in a heart beat <333 Its the only MSF I own.

Of the MES up now, I have two: heat/element and Earthly Riches. I absolutely adore both of them. The red from Mi'Lady is also gorgeous with heat/element.
As for the brushes, I'd say one could get by with the 181, but the 182 is definitely a useful brush to pick up when the budget allows.

Hmmm for now it's either the Gold Deposit or So Ceylon. Since So Ceylon is LE I think I may have to make that a priority but I need to get to a MAC counter to try it out....

I'm not sure if this was asked already (I looked!)
but Soft&Gentle work as a bronzer on nw20 skin? It doesnt look that dark from the picture on the website but the description makes me wonder. Also, those who have Gold Deposit, would it make my NW20 skin look like an orange disco ball?? Or would that be the better bronzer?
Thanks, I havent been following this collection too much and now that I have my Manish goodies, I need to direct my focus here

I have the 182 and the 181... and I love both. My 181 is actually getting more usage... so personally I think that is the one to get. I love it for the mineral blushes, beauty powders, etc. It will be great for the new powders imo.

^^ I agree with the 181, I don't have it (lol) but I have the 182, and while I use it a lot I use mostly for powder and not for cheek color. So, if you're going to use it to buff blushes or the sheersheen (is that the name?) then yea, 181. But the 182 would be nice to get at a later date!

no, soft and gentle is too light to be used as a bronzer. so ceylon would be a better use for this (tho i hate these being used as a bronzer cuz they are far too shimmery-that's what bronzer is for)

Ugh, I hate being addicted to MAC's MSF's. I even got Glissade, which is still a glitter bomb, hot mess.
It's good to know I can at least wait on Soft & Gentle, which is perm. More time to save up- and hopefully I'll be getting that schweet PRO discount soon enough.
I wonder how Silver Aura and Silver Dusk compare? The latter is really glittery, which is off-putting when you just want shimmer.

I have the 182 and love it. I use it every day to buff my loose powder or MSF natural to my face and even for MSF sas a blush, but I have big cheecks
If you're mainly going to use it for blush get the 181 since it's LE and you can always get the 182 later.

As others said get Petticoat since it's LE and soooo pretty!

I'm addicted also and have Glissade too, and allthough it's a glittery mess I still love it!

Would you girls say to get the 181 or 187/188 to apply these MSF's? I got Petticoat, so it'll just be for my cheek area mainly.
