Get thee to a Marshalls STAT and get the Sugar baked blushes instead. I really think you'll like them better. This is from someone who is not a big Sugar's makeup fan.

Tish - I'm charging my camera batteries now. I'll post pictures and swatches a little later.

I went to Walgreens today and bought all of my new Revlon baked mineral color blushes and the lightscapade looking one. I will post pictures later this evening for you all with some comparison shots with MSFs.

I got Gingerbread at Sephora when they were half off and I really like it a lot. And it is huge. I actually think the powder is really fine but I agree that the finish is metallic, which has a nice effect.

They look like the Grand Duo blushes in that it's two different colored halves in in each blush. I picked up both today and they're very nice. Cupcake is like a more pink version of Perfect Topping. It gives a glow with a little bit of sparkle, but nothing obnoxious. The Gingerbread blusher/bronzer has a warm Cranberry side and a bronzer side and is a gorgeous warm blush. It reminds me of Northern Lights in terms of color. Both of them have a metallic effect, but it isn't hash - a nice soft glow. These aren't as finely milled a powder as msfs, but aren't big glittery bombs either. The product amount is quite generous, 22g. These will probably last me a lifetime. So if you're jonesing for a msf clone and the Revlon one's haven't shown up in your neck of the woods, you might check your Marshalls or TJ Maxx's out. Just thought I'd pass this on, since Sugar is being phased out.

I have the photos, but couldn't get the swatches to show up that well. But here's link to my photos of them. Hope this helps someone out.

I can't wait to hear and see your reviews!!! if you bought them all they must have been pretty!

I am still at work but I will post pictures when I get home!

Alright here are some pictures and swatches as promised. I will do more MAC MSF comparisions tomorrow as I am tired. Sorry this is so pic heavy! All swatches on NW15 skin. Enjoy!

EDIT: I forgot to put my review of them! Oops! I actaully am really suprised by these. They are smooth and very pigmented. Pure Confection and Brighten are a bit glittery but seem like if they were buffed out they would create a nice subtle glow/highlight. I can't wait to use the two darker ones as bronzer. Sunkiss reminds me a lot of warmed MSF. Suntan Matte does have a little shimmer to it. All four of these with the BOGO at Walgreens cost me $30 and I think that for the quality I got a really good deal. Good quality and a good alternative to MAC's MSFs at half the price.
