Would anyone recommend Cheeky Bronze? It's in abundance at my local CCO.

Does anyone have Stereo Rose? Is it worth the hunt? I've been wanting to check this out for a while now but I'm tired of trying to swap for it and prices are just beyond ridiculous so I'm wondering is this one even worth it...

I am SO SO SO SO SO jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The CCO near me doesn't have it. I saw that the CCO in Long Island has it (at least when someone posted it they had it) and I was mad that I can't get up there soon to visit.
Congrats on your find tho

All,
Consider me mad but I have gone MSF crazy. It's an addiction and I've got it bad.
Believe me when I tell you - i've gone bonkers.
Listen to this:
I called all of the CCO's in my area
Hagerstown, MD
Leesburg, VA
Queenstown, MD
Arundel Mills, MD
Rehoboth Beach, DE
Lancaster, PA
to see what MSF's they had on hand.
After compiling my list I jumped in my car and ended up traveling to Leesburg and Hagerstown (on different days of course!).
I ended up with back-ups of:
Petticoat
So Ceylon
Brunette
Gold Deposit
Porcelain Pink
and purchased for the first time:
Blonde.
I'm so in-love with these pans of gorgeous mineral love and wanted to spread the joy so I gifted my sister with a Petticoat and So Ceylon.
While skating around the web, I decided to see if I could compile a list of department stores that sell MAC products. I stumbled across MAC at Dillards Dept. store and ended up getting back-ups of:
Warm Blend
Smooth Merge
and purchased for the first time:
Blonde.
I know. I have no money left!
I now own:
Blonde
Brunette
By Candlelight
Cheeky Bronze
Comfort
Gold Deposit
Light Flush
Perfect Topping
Petticoat
Porcelain Pink
Refined
Shimpagne
Smooth Merge
So Ceylon
Soft/Gentle
Sunny By Nature
Triple Fusion
Warm Blend
Warmed
Alas, since i only started collecting these last year I don't have:
Glissade
Goldspill
Lightscapade
Metal Rock
Naked You
New Vegas
Northern Lights
Pleasureflush
Redhead
Shooting Star
Stereo Rose
I've been reading a lot of beauty blogs and I think it's hilarious when folks say "Oh if you have Cheeky Bronze you don't need Sunny by nature" or something like that. Each msf has its own characteristics and purposes and that's why I decided to try to acquire as many as I could within my means.
My absolute favorites are: Petticoat, So Ceylon, Brunette, Warm Blend, Warmed, Gold Deposit, Porcelain Pink and By Candlelight. I enjoy using the others as well and rotate through them but the ones listed above get used the most.
Has anyone been able to get their hands on the Pleasureflush dupe Terra Del Sol?
Goodness knows I had no idea what I was getting into when I stopped off at the MAC store almost two years ago and tried out Gold Deposit. I had no idea what msf's were and it sat in my drawer for a long time before I decided to give it another try.
Just think of all the collections that passed me by before I banged my head against the wall and realized how wonderful these powders are!
Oh - before I forget I also managed to pick up all 3 of Revlon's beauty powders. i use them with my 181 kabuki brush from MAC. In fact, I use it with all of my msf's if I want to use them as a highlighter on the top of my cheeks.
So there you are and I hope you all enjoyed this post.
Later.

I swapped Shimpagne and Gold Spill for Gold Deposit and Glissade on MUA.
I now own::
Brunette
Metal Rock
Sunny by Nature
Smooth Merge
Shooting Star
Warm Blend
By Candlelight
Glissade
Gold Deposit
That's enough for me, though a pinky one would complete my collection. The differences between some of the MSFs are so subtle, I just think what's the point?!

I sold mine recently, I'm a msf ho and had to have and hunt down the trinity of SR, PF and MR, MR is the only one worth keeping in my humble opinion, SR is not that amazing, it's nice but on darker skin I think it only pops layered and for that price I think it should stand alone and be amazing.
SR's dupe is Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit, MUCH cheaper just as nice
Here's a whole set of advice on dupes

You're lucky, those are the rarest and hardest to find. My Pleasureflush is priceless, it would take a ridiculous amount of money for me to give it up.

Yeah I did get really lucky and get a bunch of rare stuff relatively easily however even tho I like MR, I have no msf that's LOVE! And I'm sure the ppl I passed them on to love them more than I ever could
Now my NARS, you'd have to pry my Sex blush out of my cold dead hands, that was harder to get than ANY Mac msf, it's pure love on chocolate skin, I can't use it as much as I'd love to since it's been discontinued so long, but I'd hop on a backup in a NY min and pay a ridiculous price for it and not blink, lol

Skip, Skip, Skip, Skip. Blonde, Smooth Merge and Triple Fusion were all too light and frosty without enough color pay-off for my personal taste. I have New Vegas, and it's okay, but I only keep it because it's the McQueen Collection release. I wouldn't go out of my way to hunt it down.
