I am trying not to end up with MSFs that are too similar

If you can find Blonde or Redhead I would get them.....depends on where you are they are not easy to find around my parts

OMG too funny when I went in to the Pro store today...Josh lined my lips with chestnut and filled it in almost completely ...then topped it with Bubbles...too funny!! But it was gorge...I said Oh I can find a good use for Chestnut now

Katie, uh, I mean Spaghetti Cat, I

to you! Never wrong, of course.

I also love Sugarshot, that and Perfect Topping MSF are my favorite things from this collection. I'm going tomorrow to buy backups of both, so there!

Tish, I'd figure chestnut would be perfect for you. Now the bubbles magic will begin!

Maybe you could try LL over chestnut too. Sorry to be an enabler...

My MA was wearing Sugarshot and Aquavert over Cakeshop.....looked awesome! Can't wait to play with this stuff!

Chestnut is one of those l/l over the years I have grown to hate ...because all MA's seem to use that on WOC for some reason like we can't wear any other color...So I pushed it wayyyyyy back in the traincase...I guess i will pull it back out thanks to sweet Bubbles! I will try the Chestnut under my LL and see if it gives it a boost for me

Tippy + Moonriver = Love Rock

Fun&Games + a touch of Hotplanet + Tahitian Sand = Refined (Just gotta work it with the right amount but it's possible)

Blonde + Tippy = A better dupe of Love Rock if you didn't have Moonriver

Blonde + Fun&Games = Awesome peachy blush

I would pick Perfect Topping if I had to choose. But if you get that, I wouldn't get Blonde

those are just some of the nice combos on my NC25 that I could remember right now

Hope it helped lolz

That is music to my ears!

I remember I couldn't pull off MM. I looked at myself in the mirror and was

. Please let me be able to wear Saint Germain because I like the pastel pink very much.

I want this collection now! Perfect Topping is creeping into my list as well.

I ended up getting:

Perfect Topping MSF - I fell in LOVE with it. Even for a NC15 skin like mine, it's a gorgeous lavender/pinkish highlight on MY skin. I absolutely love it, it's not super glittery or fallout prone, it's actually quite silky and with a pearl-esque sheen to it.

Saint Germain - I'm a sucker for bubblegum pink lipsticks, and this one was no exception. I figured I wouldn't need it because I had Melrose Mood already, but it's actually SLIGHTLY lighter than Melrose Mood. And WHILE, they are VERY similar... I realized because I didn't have a backup of Melrose Mood... that I should just buy this one AS a backup. So I'm happy with my choice.

Lollipop Lovin' - LOVE it, no other words to really describe it... it's gorgeous, especially on my lips. And I have NC15 pinkish lips... oh, it's love in a tube.

Sweet Thing - I didn't come there expecting to get this lipstick, but as soon as I swatched it on my skin I knew I HAD to have it. It's a lovely Lustre and it has a duochrome type glitter sheen to it, it's very pretty, and may be a little dark for my lips, but I figured it would look amazing with Sweet Strawberry

Peppermint Patti - Again, I'm a SUCKER for MAC Nailpolishes, I always find they make the most unique ~cough~Whirlwind~cough~ nailpolishes for a makeup company. It's a little on the sheer side, and needs two coats, but when it's finished with a base coat, it looks AMAZING. My nails look like mint chocolate chip ice cream

And I only spent $5.36 on all of this. Thank YOUUUUU giftcards to Macy's

EDIT: I might go back and get Sugarshot, it was kinda... nice but nothing too amazing. I wanted to love Dear Cupcake too, but the color payoff in my opinion was horrid.

Thank you!!

In honor of sugarsweet I am currently eating a vanilla bean dream cupcake from a local cupcake shop. I can find any excuse to eat a cupcake and this collection has given me a few opportunities to do so!

I want one like that as well

Perfect Topping was so much better, even though it looks much darker in the pan, it is like a pale pink tinted Lightscapade. I have Lightscapade and like Perfect Topping so much better. It is the highlighter I have been waiting for MAC to release for like forever. I also cherry-picked one with a nice large vein of lavender, which makes for a gorgeous brow highlighter. On my skin, it is soft focus-angelic-glow-powder-incarnate. For the first time ever, I'm thinking of buying a backup of an msf. I love, love, love my Perfect Topping. Pearly-pink-pajamas, this msf is hot!

Can't wait!!
