I'm a NW25 and use So Ceylon has a bronzer and its perfect. It's so beautiful, I think it would work better for you. I found Gold Deposit to be REALLY golden and maybe better for darker skin tones.

It's not chunky or glittery or even too shimmery, but applied & buffed w/ the 181 it's literally the perfect glow! ... and I hate to be the dissenter about petticoat, but it really just doesn't work on me... it emphasizes my pores & has too metallic of a sheen - maybe just the reddish undertones don't work with my skintone, but I don't know.. it just looks awful on me (just like light flush).. boo!

Oh, I might need to go back and look at So Ceylon. Did not do it the first time as I was expecting it so be too dark and orange and brown.
Thanks.

I too was expecting So Ceylon to be too orangey but was thrilled when I tried it in the store and it wasn't. Needless to say it also got added to my basket

It really is a gorgeous and buildable colour.

DO NOT USE THIS FOR A BRONZER!!!

its far too shimmery/sparkley for a bronzer. its gorgeous as a shadow and for a highlight powder on darker skin tones, but not for a bronzer.

if you're looking for a bronzer, use an actual bronzer.

Thanks Erine!! I'm glad you warned me. I'd be walking around like a human disco ball!!

Mmmm, yummy.

I think my favourite MSF for the disco ball effect has to be Naked You.

I can't believe how glittery Naked You is! It is really pretty though!

Well I posted swatches of all of the new MSFs (gold deposit, so ceylon, petticoat, and soft & gentle) in the swatch thread. I am waiting to get my stereo rose and then I will post swatches of them all. Waiting for stereo rose to come in the mail has be torture!

It's one of the few things that is bronzey but not orange on my skin. PALE GIRLS SHOULD HAVE THIS AS WELL AS NOT SO PALE GIRLS!

Ok, I tried it and I also like it very much. The colour might look very dark in the pan, but is gorgeous applied. Thank you for making me look at it again.

It just reminds me a lot of Warm Soul, but I forgot to check in the store. Does someone have them both and can check? TIA

After my exam

Then I will be in the perfect mood to post swatches, FOTDs, reviews... everything you want!

Shooting Star also has that disco ball effect!

No, no. As I remember it was either Northern Lights or Gold Spill that provided that great sliver ball look on the face. Kids would scream to their mothers because they accidently caught a glimpse of my sliver glitter ball cheeks.

I have both, and they are definitely similar. Warm Soul shows up a bit more pink on me.

Thanks. Hmm, do you think I need So Ceylon when I have Warm Soul?

the gold deposit and I cant remember the name of the other one but its pale it looks like new vegas from mcqueen except less glittery

 

[capercorngirl]

Honestly, I'm sure you can just get away with Warm Soul. I'm delighted to have So Ceylon nestled in amongst my other MSFs, but I'm kind of nuts.

You should be fine.

Petticoat! It's one of my favourites and I've had it for a while (mine is from the original release). If you're wondering about past ones, my absolute favourite is Lightscapade, and I also quite like Light Flush and Porcelain Pink. Basically, I really like the pink ones that can be used as blush.

I went by MAC today not to buy anything but to browse. I was in the mall so I stopped by. My normal MUA wasn't there today, I asked one of the other MUA about petticoat and she told me I so ceylon I didn't need the other one. So ladies in your opinion do I need it?
