Right. I got into MAC June of '06 and Metal Rock was nowhere to be found by the time I was looking for it. I paid $42 for mine in Mar. '07. I'm sure someone will pay $50 for it.

I really love New Vegas. This is the first time I ever purchased an MSF and I can see why MSFs are so great. I hope mac does re-release some of the older MSFs so us newbies can get a taste of that too! =)

i actually like metal rock in the summer..in the winter its harder to pull of. but if u use a really light hand it can happen. i dab just a tiny bit...so that msf will last me forever LOL!

hmm I'm NW15 and yes... I admit to having metal rock haha. For collection purposes? Yes. BUT I only have one... and, surprisingly, yes i can actually use it, and i DO every now and then, without looking like I have dirt on my face lol.
For the other paler girls out there who don't get how to use it... just... be careful with it lol. I promise you it CAN work!!

Just DON'T swirl your brush in it like you would with any other MSF

I use Lightscapade every single day too

I'm NC25 and love Metal Rock! I have a large (non-MAC) sort of flat-ish powder or blush brush that I barely touch onto it, then apply like you would a sheer bronzer powder, not all over. I hadn't thought of trying it on my eyes! I had a backup and think I gave it to my niece...I need to go check now!

Whenever I buy backups it's because I just love something and I know it's LE and I'll never see it again. I may take a long time to finish the first one, but at least I don't avoid using it because I'm afraid of it being gone & having no replacement. I HATE having something I love, am ready to buy more of, only to find out they discontinued the product and haven't had it in months.

I just wanted to add that I recenly picked up Chocolate Brown pigment and used it with my 188 from temple through contour and it was beautiful. So for now, the hunt for Metal Rock is over.

Yeah; I went looking for one in April '07 and asked MAC to do a GBNF search for it. No luck there. So, I bought one from a fellow Specktra member in August '07 and paid $40 for it. I thought this was a fair price due to its scarcity. But if you go looking for it in the for-sale threads now, the cheapest price you'll find is $60 or $65 -- No way would I pay that for it.....

And I'm not holding my breath that MAC will re-release it any time soon.

I'm really enjoying mine and had tried the Chocolate Brown pigment w/the 187 and 188 -- it didn't work for me.....

Why didn't Chocolate Brown work for you? What's the difference you see with Metal Rock? This is interesting.

Bumping because I'd like to know how to use chocolate brown as a metal rock replacement...

You could take a angled blush brush and sweep it along the hollow of your cheek.
