To any of you ladies who are allergic ot (or break out from) MSFs.... What exactly goes down with your skin? I've started developing little clogged pores/mini bumps on my cheeks and the only things I have done differently lately are that I have used a primer 2-3 times and I have increased my MSF usage to 3-4 days out of each week since I started my new job. I REALLY don't want to give up on my MSFs (especially Adored!) but if they truly are the culprit for my current craptacular skin then they must GO! Any info/advice/thoughts are much appreciated!

I haven't had any reactions to MSFs but your reaction could be due to recent increased use of primer OR MSF. I would recommend stopping them one at a time to see who the culprit is. If you want to keep using the MSF stop the primer first for a few weeks and if your skin condition doesn't improve you will have to stop using the MSF, or using the MSF less frequently if your skin was ok with less frequent usage prior.

Is the primer a completely new addition to your makeup routine? And the MSF is just an increase? If so, it sounds like the primer is the culprit, and not the MSF. I'd ditch the primer first and see if if still happens with the MSF. If it does, then switch and see what happens.

Thank you very much for sharing, vanessa1996!
They are really quite close...Petticoat looks a bit lighter but I think that it depends on the veinings.

Seven Of Nine you look amazing with Rio
!
I've finally received my little black box, and i LOVE
Adored ! I don't usually go for corals (I like them but they rarely look good on me) but this MSF is really speacial ! Mine is quite dark compared to what I've seen on swatches and I can almost wear it as a blush. Tried it with Royal Sunset (all about orange collection) and it looks so good !!!! I'm not so sure about Lust though, which again is surprising because I don't mind sparkle and I love me some pink
but I don't know, I don't like it alone as a blush... What blush do you pair it with, Lust Fans ?

Now I'm thinking about getting Rio...
Maybe if I could find one with more of the pink side it would be better for me.
I really liked the sheen of it.
What you guys think?
I'm pretty fair skinned, I use NC15 from the Sculpt foundation, in the summer I get a bit rosy tinge to my skin, that's the only "tan" I can get.
(But still like NW10, I think maybe NW13, but it might be still a bit too rosy and dark.)

If you can find one with a good amount of pink it's worth the purchase. I really love Rio and I'm NC15. It's a bronzy blush for me. The pink helps it look more natural than a brown bronzer. It reminds me of the Guerlain Nude bronzer, which also has a pink part in it. It's not the same colour, but it has a similar effect minus the shimmer/sheen.

My Petticoat has a lot of raspberry veinings, and I swatched it last week at the counter next to Lust when I was purchasing items from the collection. I skipped Lust and preferred Petticoat much more because
1. it is slightly darker and warmer than Lust is on my skin (Lust was a bit frosty and cool)
2. As previously mentioned, Lust does have visible glitter flecks, and while I don't have a problem with glittery stuff, I preferred the texture of Petticoat.
The colours were more or less similar so if you have Petticoat, you don't need Lust. I personally use my Petticoat for a blush so it beat Lust hands down. For all those people who are still wondering, if you have Petticoat, I really recommend saving your money and skipping Lust (however pretty it might look in the pan).

I promised to do a comparison between Rio and So Ceylon once I got both, so here it is. I also added Earthshine to the comparison.
L-R Rio (only brown part), So Ceylon, Earthshine
As you can see So Ceylon is nothing like Rio. I didn't swatch the pink and brown of Rio mixed, because there's no point in it, since it would be even further off. So Ceylon is a bit warmer than Earthshine. It has red undertones which will be great for me.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I took my petticoat to the store to swatch them side by side also but someone stole the lust tester and they wouldn't put out another one
