Hmm does Refined show up as a subtle blush?
I wore PT today, and because there is quite a lot of lavender and pink veining in mine, it actually worked as a subtle blush on me, very happy about that.
It's even more pigmented than Moon River.
Unbelievable, but bloody awesome.
However, by the end of the day there wasn't much PT left when I wiped off my makeup; I think the BBR MSFs had better staying power.

LOL hmm sounds to me like someone knew you were coming and set you up
So since I have seen people say (Tish, I believe and someone else) that Redhead and Refined are similar enough that you don't need both I have swatches of both. In my opinion they are different enough especially once on my face. I swirled my finger across all strips of redhead and also swirled my finger all around refined.
Refined on the left, Redhead on the Right
And Redhead on top, Refined on the bottom.
Redhead IMO has more sparkle, while refined is more of a glow/sheen/mild shimmer. I like refined more but I do agree with Winnie that I think the BBR MSFs have more staying power.

Yes, it's a really nice subtle blush. Like MissVega said it has less sparkle than Redhead which is why I like Refined more. I don't think you would regret buying it

Whew thank god I'm not the only one who thinks so.
I thought it had to do with my oily face or something.
Yes from your pics they do look different enough, I think Refined looks more orangey.

I also generally get the items I pick out based on the swatches on here. The only thing that makes me change my mind sometimes is the texture.

^^I think there's probably some dear cupcakes floating around
As far as I can tell its still available online
On my own comments my uh second haul came in, I really do adore cakeshop shadestick, I put sugarshot over it. And surprisingly I like the shadow too. I wasn't sure I would but it is actually really workable so I don't regret the impulse buy.

My Refined MSF broke today
I tripped whie carrying it and it smashed to tiny pieces. I actually cried. It was my favourite MSF> It was hand picked and had a lovely amount of coral veining too
and I didn't get to back it up because it is sold out at thetwo macs close to me (and they are not even that close, I live out in the country) and online. I am so incredibly sad over this. It was my daily use MSF, the love of my MSF life
THe MAC Canada website is sold out too
OKay I am done whining, but be careful while carrying your MSFs they apparently don't take impact well.
