Ahhh I see. I'll take a look at it and see if it's similar to any of the Sephora ones I have.

Thanks.

Is anyone getting Triple Fusion? I prefer the goldishness of it over Smooth Merge, but I'm worried it won't show up on me any more than a highlight.

I'm going to pass on Sunny By Nature. If it's just sort of a matte color, I'd rather just get a brownish blush from the perm line later on.

I am thinking the same about Sunny by nature. I would get it if it had shimmer or glowiness but it seems matte. But on fairer skintones, it maybe could be a bronzer but not on this chocolatte skin of mine.

Triple Fusion looks like a highlighter and Smooth Merge looks a deeper pink than a lot of the pink that have come out which makes me want it because that type of pink is the only ones that work on my skin.

I hear you on that. I wasn't amused either when I heard this morning and had to do some financial juggling to accommodate its early release. KMT!

Okay this is my list:

226 brush
Style Demon Blush
Eclectic Edge l/g
Warm Blend MSF
Fab-dabulous blush (dependant on swatch)
Crazy Haute & Miss Marble l/g (Dependant on swatches)
Trimming Talk or Most Popular (Dependant on swatches)
Natural Flare MES (maybe - I have golds/copper e/s already)

I can't decide on any other MSFs now cos the swatches I've seen just don't give me an idea on what they'll look like on me, so I'll just watch until I get to MAC.

Thanks for the response! I wish more WOC would do swatches for this collection. Sunny By Nature looks pretty... when it's swatched on NC25 skin.

It might be like Naked Paris was and not even show on my skin!

Saw another swatch of Triple Fusion on fairer skin and loved it, but again... how will it look on me? I think I'm going to just pick up Cheeky Bronze, Smooth Merge, and Warm Blend online (I have to have someone drive me to a MAC store an hour away) and if I ever get to a store, I'll swatch (and possibly buy!) Triple Fusion. I might put Fab-dabulous on this list as well since the super-pigmentation of it kind of scares me.

i am so glad someone said this, because i didn't want to sound prejudice.
although i am so thankful to all the ladies who provided the swatches... it's like mac told all the NW40+ people they could go home early.

the colors do look really nice, but i'm NW50 and i'm dying to know what ANYTHING looks like a little closer to my complexion. it just sucks because i'm scared that by the time i end up at a MAC everything will be gone :-[

i know that i want 2-3 of the MSFs (Warm Blend of course and either Smooth Merge, Triple Fusion, and/or Sunny by Nature depending on how it looks on me), Ever Embellish lipstick, and 2-3 of the blushes (but i'm waiting for a decent swatch, or to just see it in person).

i don't know enough about brushes period to be creaming over one, but everyone else on specktra has certainly piqued my interest, so we'll see...

i'm going to be so broke

Yeah, I'm absolutely grateful for all the above-NC40 ladies who have taken the time to do swatches, and they've helped to give me a general idea of what the colors are like, but colors can change a LOT between NC25 and NC45, so it takes a lot of guesstimation on our parts, whereas someone who is the around those lighter shades knows more or less that's how the color will look on them.

I can't believe that was one sentence. D:

Well when it's released there'll be an abundance of darker skinned swatches on the CC swatch thread (I hope). I'll def put my swatches up when I get my stuff.

So did I! I only ordered the 226 brush today and I'll wait to purchase the others next week on either the release date or online...

Sigh,
I am hoping and praying that these MSF's and MB's are not all that and that I can walk away with 4 color products and the brush, possibly less. I general I am never really wowed with the MB's. I only got 2 from the original release and 1 from the 2nd so maybe I can walk away with 2 or less. I hope so...

sunny by nature looks like a nice bronzy ppinky shade.. kinda like love joy but not... i got warm blend and smooth merge.. will go home and make swatches!! might go bak for sunny by nature... Sunny and warm blend are completely diff - warm blend is this glod/bronze glam goddess look and sunny b nature is the nice.everyday.bronzy pinkish/orangish look.. i hope i made some sense!! and NC 45ish for reference

the lighter side of warm blend looks like cheeky bronze on me.. if tht helps.. unfortunately cant do swatches cos i didint get cheeky but will try once i go to the store tonight/tomorrow.

triple fusion swatched together looks like the paler side of smooth merge.. not much of a diff.. so unless ur a collector no pt imo.. the pale pink on smooth merge looks like porcelain pink on me..

warm blend is FANTASTIC.. it is glittery but u can blow it off the brush.. SM is frost.. Triple fusion is the frostiest (lol) imo.

Sunny by nature has great texture.. almost like the sugarsweet ones.. but not completely matte.. has a nice glow..

also heard from a frnd who saw the 131 tht the 188 is better than the 131 for blushes cos the 131 is flatter. not really great.... plus if u look at the main thread, ppl are saying tht the 187/188 are better than the 131 unless u just want a fancy brush

Okay verrrrry tentative list. Still screwing over the early release here in the UK which I'm sure is clouding my judgement slightly when it comes to spending money I haven't really got, anyhoo... the things in bold I'm definitely getting (which isn't that bad actually and is a reasonable little list)

Pretty pattern LG
Nice Mix Up LG
Madly creative LS
Assemblage MES
Natural Flare MES
Eccentricity MES
Style demon MB
Fab Dabulous MB
Cheeky Bronze MSF
Triple Fusion MSF
Warm Blend MSF
Sunny By Nature MSF

I need to look at the swatch thread again i'm confusing myself with the MSf's. Deep down I think they all look the same
