Sambibabe - on my computer it looks like it does, it's subtle but looks like you've got a really pretty pale pink sheen to your cheekbones. Very ethereal

Thanks HotPinkHeels! Do you have Blonde MSF? To me, Moon River is similar to the lighter Blonde strips, but without the pore enlargeing properties. Still love MR!

Samibabe - Is MR like Blonde MSF? I have Blonde MSF so would be looking for something different methinks...
Did you swatch Intenso? And how's Hot Planet treating you??
I want to get a GD and have looked at the swatches, but have no idea which one... everyone is raving about how good MR tho.
*asks a million questions...

 

[MrsMay]

^^^ hahaha yes, it's the infamous brown dress...

At least the specktra girls who are going to the Myer Adelaide HK launch will know what I'm wearing lol...

Yeah, when I swatched Blonde MSF middle strips next to MR, they looked really similar, but MR had more shimmer! Loved all the pinky GD mineralised blushes, but my MUA said you could use the brown ones as eyeshadows. With exception of Moon River, all of the blushes were pigmented. When MUA applied Hot Planet on me, it was dark pink, but today I applied it with very light hand and it looks peachy pink - love it so much!

 

[CatsMeow]

I've been trawling throught the GD discussion forum and most are saying they are going to pass on the collection because it some are similar to love thing and pleasantry. A lot said they came home empty handed and were disappointed with the glitter factor.

I don't have any of the sonic whatitsnamey collection, so I think I'll have to go to MAC and play with them next week to make up my own mind!

 

[sambibabe]

Good idea CatsMeow! Make sure you get MUA to try on your cheeks though, not just back of your hand. I don't have Love thing, etc but have Pleasantry, Gentle & Dainty and they are different from GD ones that I have.

More pics that I posted in the swatch thread.

 

[HotPinkHeels]

I do have (and love!) the Blonde MSF - I have a serious MSF addiction, blushes included!

I need to re-look at the whole collection as I immediate labled most of them as too dark and MR as too light (fussy mutch? haha) but I didn't get the chance to swatch them all, aside from earth to Earth which I got.

 

[sambibabe]

What do you think of Earth to Earth HotPinkHeels? My MUA complained the marblised side went purple on her.

Maybe I am weird.. I love GD, especially how each marblised and solid side gives you different effects, like a 2 in 1 blush. Also my #165 brush is working great with GD blushes too.

 

[HotPinkHeels]

I LOVE it!! With both colours swirled together it gives a really nice peachy-golden glow, the marbled side has a purple tinge but I wouldn't say that it's a straight out purple.

here are my swatches -

You can the the marbled side (the top one) is kinda purpley but more pinky-purply...I don't know, I'm terrible at descriptions LOL

 

[MrsMay]

^^

Shit.

I really wanted to pass Grand Duos... guess I'm gonna come back with at least one in addition to my HK haul tonight.

 

[HotPinkHeels]

The scary thing is that it's even more pretty in person! I'm kinda glad I didn't swatch the others haha

as much as I hate to say it, she's right Panda....

I came home with one of these babies tonight and I probably wont stop at one - they are soooooooo pigmented!!

I did make the MA check through all of the ones she had in the drawer to get the one with the most blush part and the least gold veining

 

[sambibabe]

^^ Haha.. I knew you won't be able to resist them MrsMay - you love blushes! Well.. And paints, pigments, Dazzleglasses, Shadesticks , MSFs and list goes on
