Some I know had So Ceylon,I tried it and it looks so good as bronzer(I'm NW20)I used it on my chest and shoulders and it looked hot!

But having said that, on the maybe-to-see-what-all-the-hype-is-about list, I've added Petticoat - So Ceylon and Gold Deposit seem too dark for me (NC15) and I'm afraid that they'll turn a bit muddy.

I'm about NC15 ( a little below some days) and with a light hand, these all are very wearable! So Ceylon and Gold Deposit seem to work better on me, when I use them more like a contourer/blusher. I lightly dust the dome and fall out on the container with my 188 or 129 or large mop artist's brush and make the fishy face and go from there. I think for those cooler toned gals that So Ceylon will look stunning on them!

Hmm. I have had a few Northern Light MSF's and i never had one that looked that "veined out" like that. i think its something new. Well i hope.

So Ceylon, when i first got mine, i didn't like it. I found one recently at a CCO, and it looks a little different from my first one but we will see.

Petticoat, So Ceylon and Gold Deposit!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!

I have Petticoat already so I'll only get it as a backup if it ends up being the LE one, but I'll definitely get So Ceylon and maybe Gold Deposit since I passed on it the 1st time.

 

[Leilani78]

ooo I now can finally see what the hype around Petticoat. I dunno about this collection though. I really think that MAC MSFs and MSFN are causing me to break out. I haven't used my MSFN since May 3 and my skin is finally clearing up. And I have barely touched my Warmed and Light Flush. I guess this collection will have to be a pass for me.

 

[christineeee_]

i'll have to see these MSFs in person cuz i have 3 MSFs (light flush, warmed, shimpagne) and barely use them so i dunno if i should spend more money on MSFs if i'm not gonna use them

 

[jaclynashley]

I NEED THESE MSF !!!

I hope they still have them October 22nd so I can use my birthday money on them instead of working my butt off begging my Mom for it .

 

[KikiB]

I go away for two days and I come back to MSF's? Specifically three that I was not willing to pay super-high prices for?

 

[darkwater_soul]

For all the inquiries about So Ceylon, it's a beautiful bronzer with hint of blush. I use a 187, swirl lightly over SC, brush along cheeks, forehead, nose and decolletege, and man it glows, and NEVER MUDDY. I love this MSF, hope it's a permanent one. I'm not a fan of bronzers and this is the oneI can wear, even on lips with clear gloss and in the crease on the eyes. I am NC15 summer, N3 in winter.

same here. its kinda getting annoying. i love the MSF and MES, but it seems they're heading for too much of a good thing.

in addition to what newagetomatoz said, they are both made the same way-both start out as a liquid and are baked for 24 hours. neither of these can be depotted. they both contain 77 minerals (5 is necessary to be considered mineral).

the differences are:

-MSFN is for the entire face (face powder used to set foundation or wear alone, and you can touch up with these throughout the day and has a natural-matte finish
-MSF are shimmery, just for use on the high planes of the face or as a shadow
-MSF can be used wet to intensify the shimmer, MSFN CANNOT be used wet

 

[MzFit]

I will for sure be getting all three. I have Warmed, Light flush and New Vegas love them all to death esecially for the summer I think they look fantastic.

Yeah i figured that much lmao. I tried to keep it a secret to one of my lovelies from here and when i broke down and told her which one she screamed at me lol.

I guess i have the gift of gab because i was yapping to them about how they are so good and one of the girls was like "Hey yall we got this one left and idk if you like this one" and she went in the stock room and brought it to me and like 2 seconds later after shrieking it was mine

hehe lol

 

[coachkitten]

I can't wait for this collection!!! This is the one that excites me the most of all the info posted yesterday. I sincerely hope that petticoat is part of this collection. I use petticoat almost everyday. I freaking love that MSF. I am excited to see if Gold Deposit and So Ceylon will work for my pale skin. I usually can get any MSF to work.

[rocking chick]

I have a Petticoat but still had not find a way to make it works for me. It seems very frosty on my NC20 skin.
