A good drugstore one is by Physicians Formula. It's called Sunset Strip and it looks very similar to the BB Shimmerbricks packaging. I bought mine for 5 bucks on sale. I'm actually wearing it in my avatar. HTH!

The only MSF that I have is the redhead one from BBR, and I have not recieved it yet. Cant wait.
I have been stalking ebay for Golden Glow, Gold Spill, Northern Lights and Petticoat. My friend is going to the CCO for me and she has her eyes out for these too along with So Ceylon and Golden Deposit.

Allison1998 ... Petticoat is still available in some stores. It may not be on display but if you ask you may get a pleasant surprise. I purchased one recently. So Ceylon may be available from MAC.COM. It did not show up under MSF but when I did a search on So Ceylon, it was available. I realize that these aren't discounted but if you really want them, it may be wise to get them while still available.
The prices on EBAY for MSF seem ridiculous to me. They are higher than the original retail. I can understand this if the product is rare or discontinued, But I am seeing readily available MSF on EBAY for premium prices.

Thanks...I am new to this whole MAC thing and have decided to try the MSFs after hearing everyone rave about them.
I went on the website and Petticoat and Gold Deposit are still available. Since my friend got them from the CCO, I will see what she can find and then I can order them from MAC.
Thanks alot

I can't speak for all deep or rich complexions, but I know what I like on myself. My absolute fave MSF is petticoat. Most recently I purchased the Brunette MSF from the BBR collection and I love it, it doubles as a medium coverage foundation. Gold Deposit and So Ceylon are pretty too, and I'm excited about the new Grand Duo collection. I think it will offer a good bit of MSF options for women of all skin tones.

I recently got Gold Spill and Light Flush from the CCO. I used Light Flush today and I like it, I think. 
What do you ladies think of Light Flush?

I'm NC40. I think Light Flush is *okay*....I don't love it. I think ever since I got Blonde MSF, I don't reach for Light Flush anymore. Light Flush is warmer though, while Blonde is cooler. Light Flush doesn't show up that much on me and is a bit chunkier than the newer BBR ones. It shows up, more like a highlighter, which is fine -- while Blonde, I can actually use as a blush too.
In previous threads above, some ladies are saying they prefer So Ceylon over Brunette. I'm actually the opposite. I like Brunette better because I like the burnt rose/coral/red undertones more in it. I think Brunette has more of it than So Ceylon and I already love Metal Rock and Shooting Star as my "bronzer" MSF. I felt like having So Ceylone was unnecessary and in between those and Brunette.
Love Shimpagne! It's wonderful! And I'm really liking the Sugarsweet ones for highlighters and glowyness right now.

Thanks for all of the info ladies.
I have 4 MSFs now: Light Flush which I just got this past weekend and I really like it. It shows up on my skin and has a kind of pinky/bronzy tone to it.
I also got Gold Spill this past weekend. I LOVE this one. It gives my skin a gold sheen I really like it, all except for the glitter, but that can be buffed out.
I also have the Redhead MSF (my first one). If I have this one, do I need Petticoat? The SA said they were comparable, but I want some other opinions. Sorry if this has been asked before.
I also have Med Deep MSFN that I scored from ebay for 7.50 shipped. It matches my skintone perfectly.
I was really disapointed in the Refined and Perfect Topping MSFs. Cant wait to add to my collection!

IMO Redhead and Petticoat are nowhere near similar ...Petticoat is more Pink....I would compare it closer to Blonde MSF than Redhead. Redhead has no pink in it...Redhead however does compare to Refined very closey.....there are comparison swatches in the swatch thread
