Maybe I should have a look at Cantaloupe. I already have Peachykeen and Fleur Power.. I still feel they are very pink? Maybe I need more apricot-y colours! I tend to grab Fleur Power a lot, I find it quite pink. I also love Blossoming which is a cremeblush, its a medium pink with coral undertones and it gives me a nice flushed look.
Of course when it comes to pink blushes we can't forget Dollymix which is hot pink, must be used with a VERY light hand and buffed out really well. I actually use my Blush of Youth BP to tone it down and it's awesome
Maybe we should exchange some swatches hehe

I tried Eccentricity this morning and I gotta say I'm not loving it
This is my first MAC MES so these may be issues you all ready knew about but the gold colour had HUGE fall out, it was everywhere! Then I used the darker purple and it had very little pay off until I wet it down but even then when I blended with the gold again more fall out.
I tried the lighter purple but it was too faint and the darker brown didn't come up early as dark as in the pot.
Is this the norm with MES? It's making me question my planned purchase of all 4 MES from Style Black

I put the swatches here a few weeks ago with Eversun BPB, Style and Cantaloupe together. They (Eversun & Cantaloupe) kinda looked the same on me, just Eversun being a tad bit darker.

^I have MES's from pretty much every mineral collection Mac has launched and all of them have fall out. I think the base you use is really important. You need to apply them over something slightly tacky so that the loose pigment/glitter has something to stick to - if you use them dry. I recommend a paint pot (try and get the colour on there before it dries completely) or something like a Kryolan or Mehron moist makeup base.
When you use them wet there is much less fall out and the colour intensifies. To help minimize the fall out I wet my brush with a few sprays of Fix+, pick up some pigment/colour on to my brush and then press my brush (I use a #252) on the inside of the MES lid a few times or the back of my hand just to squash in to the fibres a bit before pressing the colour really well on to my lid. I find that doing that really helps minimize fall out. I do the same thing with my loose pigments like Mutiny which has crazy fall out and my other mineral make up. With that Gold colour with heaps of glitter in it, you can try picking some up and then blowing on your brush to get rid of any excess glitter. Anyway - you will get some fall out no matter what method you use to apply them!
To intensify the colours even further if they are not showing up well I recommend using a co-ordinating paint pot or Mehron base
Try your purple over Nice Vice paint pot if you have it, it's really pretty!

I did get the voucher! But you know what? I LOST it... Yep. I have no idea what I did with it but I searched everywhere. I think it expired on my birthday too so even if I find it - I can't use it.
I hope the new RV shades include a purpley colour! I would go gaga.

Robyn, Eccentricity is so pretty - you should definitely keep it! I saw the foiled version and non-foiled version and the latter looked a bit muddy. My MUA had the purple at the inner and outer corners and white gold in the middle and it looked great. The only reason I didn't get it is because it looks a lot like Odd Couple MES from last year and I wanted to see if I could use it instead. I might get it though.
Today's haul for me:
Costa Chic (B2M)
Cockney (B2M)
Milan Mode (B2M)
London Life (B2M)
Made with Love (B2M)
Trimming Talk (B2M)
Colour Crafted (B2M)
Miss Dior Cheri green perfume
Dior Blush Shimmer
Dior free gift that includes Dior Snow and mini 5 quint
Natural Flare MES
Assemblage MES
No MBs for me, because they looked similar to Grand Duo MBs but more softly pigmented. Well that's what I tell myself anyway
