Thanks! It looks like I will be making yet another purchase...

In case you did not know,

Warmed = So Ceylon + Gold Deposit

I have all of them and you can mix those two to get warmed.

I have a question I have the Illusionary burning ambition from 2006 havent even used it yet. Is the texture an color as same as the new one. I kept hearing that these were not as good as the elctroflash and the news ones that are out. I wanted to know before i went and swappe for it Thank u so very much

Hurray!!! I'm really happy they decided to bring this one back.

I got my Petticoat today and I am in LOVE! Wow, this is the most beautiful cheek color. The veining isn't too dark; its pretty minimal, which makes it perfect for me. I have a couple MSFs already (Northern Light, Warmed, and New Vegas) and this is definately my favorite. I'm just so happy it was re-released!

I'm still debating on So Ceylon, but if its dark, it will look awful on me. I'm just way too pale. But after hearing some reviews of the Soft & Gentle, I'm now really wanting that one too!

I'm pretty pale too. I'm NW20 and sometimes NW15. I have Soft and Gentle and I think it works great as a highlighter. It looks a lot darker in the pan that it goes on. By looking at in the pan, I thought it would be similar to Warmed (which I love for a soft bronzer) but Soft & Gentle isn't as dark as Warmed. If you have a fair complexion, you will probably like Soft & Gentle. Looks like it's a permanent color, so no need to rush to get it...it should be around.

Just swirl your brush around the MSF and tap off the excess. Glitter usually falls off at this point

I saw your swatches, they're amazing! Which is your favourite? I'm warm-toned though, so I probably can't pull off the silver one...

it is awesome. i love mine from back then. its the same. variations in color and veining effects the performance of these shadows.

in other words...

USE IT ALREADY!!!

I just got my MSF order in. My Petticoat has hardly any veining. I was hoping for one with more veining. I think it may be too light for me. I haven't tried it yet. I'm not sure what to do. Get another one? Do you guys ask for one with more veining?

Is there anyone that has Soft & Gentle and an MSF from New View in a light colour? Are the close?
TIA

 

[AdlersMommy22]

You could use So Ceylon applied lightly as a blush, more than likely. I can do that, and it warms up my face nicely, and I'm very pale.

Sounds just like mine!

Dangit, I'm just starting to love mine for what it is... hrm, I wonder if I swirled it with my Lovestone first, would I get a similar colour? Something to try for tomorrow!

I am NC40 and petticoat shows up soo nicely on myself so I can't see why it wouldn't show up on NC42...its soo pretty and its buildable to make it darker if you want too.
