Does it show up red when on? Tish, how'd you like Redhead MSF? Someone told me it turned mauve on them and I was hoping for more peachy tone. Does that happen to you or is she totally off or possibly talking about Blonde MSF? I want the glow from within look. I want it to look natural but not too obvious and not mauve either, hehe. Any swatches wearing it on?

Thank you Cupcake!

I added Redhead to my BBR collection. I really like the sheen effect and not so much glitter as some of the other MSFs. Alright ya'll, after this no Mac for a while. (Praying that I don't get the urge to buy the brushes!)

^^^ Me too!

Ya'll are sssoo not helping! I can't lie though, I've stalked the hell outta that 226 brush since last week. I'll walk by the counter slowly and stare at it, pick it up, pass my finger through the hairs and brush it on my hand just to see how it feels. (I know I'm not the only one who does this

) Then I put it down, hold on to my pretzel even tighter, walk away fast and ignore its call for me to come back and buy it.

How do you ladies like the 214?

If lovin that brush is wrong, then I don't wanna be right!!!! (In my best Arsenio Hall voice from Coming to America)

Nothing erotic, just a severe case of the stalks.

Whew!! I haven't bought any MAC in a minute or posted on Specktra. I did buy the Brunette MSF, 100 Strokes, and the 226 and 214 brushes. I really like the Brunette MSF, but the 100 Strokes shadow and the brushes were less than impressive. I thought the shadow would be more pigmented. I also think that my NYX and Sonia Kashuk brushes are just as good as the 226 and 214. They are both "nice" brushes but to me they are not essential. In these hard economic times I would definitely check out the Sonia Kashuk brushes and NYX brushes.

I love the 214 and the 226 ...and I swear the 165 is sweet as well..so I am of no help...But at least the 214 is perm so you can get that one anytime.....But stop molesting the 226 and buy the dang thing

 

[TISH1124]

OMG B-Babe is so gorg on Erin I am dying!!!

I finally got the chance to see this collection in person this weekend. I thought Top Notch and 100 strokes were pretty. The only thing I have is Brunette MSF from maccosmetics.com, but it doesn't seem too special so I'll be sending that back. I do want the 226 and possibly the two e/s mentioned earlier. I wanted to love the MSF so badly!

I ended up getting the 226 after all.....does anyone else notice that it feels a little scratchy on the skin?

did you wash it first? A lot of MAC brushes feel that way initially...but they recommend you wash them prior to using it...



I am so over depottig for awhile...LOL but I wanted the B-Babe and Quick Tease so I depotted last night and picked those up today and another Chill snowscene l/g ....I Love B-Babe....Thanks to Erin....

 

[HeavenLeiBlu]

Well, I finally went to go play with this collection yesterday and as I expected, nothing really did it for me. I only got the (226? the crease/blending) brush and a brow set. The brow set is going back this weekend :-/

Yes, it's been washed. I also noticed that the MA's brush was scratchy as well. Maybe it's just me

I don't know...try putting some conditioner on it and letting it sit on there for a few mins before rinsing it out

UPDATE: Thanks again TISH...the conditioner did work and I now love the brush!

Haul #1:Flip e/s, Chignon l/s, Quicktease, Strawberry Blonde, and Red Devil l/g, and Blonde MSF. For some reason the MA was trying to sell me on only Brunette items then I had to tell him I could wear what I wanted hair color really isn't a big deal. Afterwards he agreed with me but still didn't think I should even look at the Redhead MSF so I didn't. When I got home I realized I forgot to get Peroxide l/g so I went back for it another day. Haul #2: Peroxide l/g, Marquise D' l/s, Brunette MSF & 226 brush. I tried the Redhead MSF but I didn't like it. I agree with you that Brunette is pretty blah I was right to skip it the first time but seeing swatches and hearing the raves made me go back for it. I'm better off with a back up of Blonde MSF. Also go get Peroxide it really is beautiful as you can see I had to go back for it. I'm still on the fence about whether I want to get Henna...I LOVE the name and I don't have Sumptuous Olive so I'm considering it. We'll see. The rest of the e/s were definitely a pass for me though. Also I'm not sure if I should keep Marquise D' I didn't feel it looked all that special on. I have way too much makeup to keep items I don't love or that aren't unique.

Okay, Im glad its not just me. I have been going back and forth ever since I got this MSF! I just dont love it. Its too dark, and I tried to convince myself I'd just wear it in the summer when I darken u, but yeah...I think its going back.
