I checked these out today. I came home with Moon River -- but I'm still on the fence as to whether or not this was a good purchase. Here's what I thought of them:
I'm NC40. Asian. Yellow undertones. Black/Brown eyes and hair.
Moon River - I missed out on Lightscapade for I wanted this one just for the swirly side. The very sweet MA went to find one for me that had more of the swirly side for me! Anyway, on me, the color is very light. I *think* it is lighter than Dainty on me actually. I prefer Dainty rather that this one for blush but honestly, I find Dainty a bit too light too so I'll probably try and swap that now. The marbled side is a whitish neutral sheen on me -- if I remember trying on Lightscapade before, Lightscapade showed up more silvery cool on me.
Light over Dark - This one was very pretty! I didn't try this one on, just swatched on my hand. I wasn't really looking for a bronzer/highlighter but it's a great combo if you need one. I prefer my Metal Rock MSF and Shooting Star MSF. However, having the highlighter in there makes it a nice package. I would have bought this if I didn't have those other bronzing MSFs.
Intenso - I liked this one but when I tried it on, it looked alot like Gleeful and Merrily on me. If you don't have either of those, you should consider this. It's very pretty "intense" rose. The MA put way too much on at first because he didn't realize it was so pigmented. I passed on this because I had Merrily.
Earth to Earth - I wanted to like this one...but I just didn't in person. The blush side doesn't do much for me when I tried it on, it shimmers and sparkles, but the color is pretty close to my skintone and it's kinda flat and boring. The purple marble side was really pretty on my hand but when we put it on my cheek, it just looked muddy and messy with the blush side.
I passed on this.
Grand Duo - This one was super gorgeous! But also super similar to Love Thing, which I had. If you don't have Love Thing, you should get this one! I liked the highlighting side too. I didn't both trying this one on.
Love Rock - This was another one that I wanted to love...but when I tried it on my face, it looked really ashy and fake and not good. The pink just didn't blend well with my skin and skintone and I love pinks! The MA even said it didn't really work for me and steered me away from it.
Hot Planet - This was so weird, the blush color looked purple plum in the pan but then when it was on my hand, it came out more deep rose. I didn't actually think this one was super unique, so I passed on this too.
Overall, alot of them are similar to the Sonic Chic ones and aren't that unique in my opinion. However, if you are looking for a certain color to round out your collection they are worth getting. My pics would be Grand Duo, Intenso, and Light Over Dark for anyone my skin tone.
As a bonus, the MA showed me what he had in testers in Sugar Sweet!! We tried on both MSFs and I love them both! They are pretty sheer, but it was a nice glow. Perfect topping is a bit cooler and Refined warmer -- but super super sheer. Bubbles lipstick is really pretty! I don't know if I'd wear it alone but he suggested mixing it in with other lipsticks. The lipglosses were really pretty in person but I didn't try them on. Swatched some of the shade sticks -- the cream one is pretty! Dear Cupcake seems like a hard color to wear, pigment, but seems like it would sit on top of your skin. Sugarshot was a nice cream with slight sparkle but a little chunky to work with. Aquavert was smooth, and pigmented minty green. I missed out on that one before, so I might pick that one up.
The MA was so nice, he kinda talked me out of buying more of the Grand Duos since I really liked the MSFs in Sugarsweet and I had alot of the Sonic Chic blushes. I ended up signing up for an event they are having next weekend for Sugarsweet.
Anyway, hope that helps you guys!
