    Mine all time favorite is Strada by MAC. I’m NC20 and it suits just perfectly. Im so sad it’s discontinued, I have one back up but I feel like buying more of them.. What do you think Christine? Is it worth having 2 backups? Knowing Mac they can come up with something pretty soon.. but again.. that is my perfect shade!

    • karie says:

      Strada is discontinued-no!!!!!!!!!!! I gotta say I love a really cheap blush- Boots NAtural Collection Rosey Glow, only about 3 euro!

  2. Kristine says:

    I’m loving my Dainty Mineralize blush right now :)

  3. MC says:

    RANDOM:

    NC, NW, N, C. They stand for…?

    • Anita says:

      They stand for two types of MAC foundation/powder shades – Neutral Cool and Neutral Warm, depends on your undertone, pinkish ones would be NW and more olive/cool shades – NC.

      • MC says:

        What about just N or just C, though?

        • mars says:

          N & C refer to Neutral and Cool shades that are available exclusively in MAC Studio Fix. MAC uses the color wheel to determine these so C & NC colors run olive to gold undertone, N’s are neutral beige and NW is more peachy/pink undertones. You can go with your skin tone or opposite to correct skintones, ex. NW to warm up a complexion or NC to counteract excessive redness.

    • Jewels says:

      an easy way to remember what NC and NW stand for is basically that NC= not cool and NW= not warm. just a tip :)

  48. hi says:

    The Body Shop Sparkle and Shimmer Puff in Sunset Peach. I got it on sale during a holiday clearance along with two other shadows (their Chocolate (shimmer) and Soft Black (matte) so I could get the 3 for $10 deal. It’s a shimmery/frosty peachy pink with gold shimmer when layered lightly dry, and is a great dupe for NARS Orgasm applied this way! Layered medium to heavily dry, it becomes more of a coral with a touch of orange, and get this: GREEN shimmer! It’s SO pretty. If even you use it wet for a bold look or packed on the lids as an eyeshadow, in becomes an intense orange-coral with noticeable green, gold, and orange shimmer with pink frost – very versatile!

  67. Sangeeta says:

    WOW so many MAC lovers, I want to encourage everyone to try Laura Geller Blush-N-Brighten blushes, they beat MAC in every way, with color payoff compared to the MSF’s to the staying power over the other blushes.

    • Megan says:

      I love the Laura Geller Blush and Brighten too!! I have one in Golden Apricot and its gorgeous. I still have a soft spot for MAC though. I also think that they are more finely milled then the MSF’s and their not as glittery as the MSF’s tend to be

  68. Aimee says:

    There are a lot of good ones for me. Pinch O’ Peach, Peachtwist, NARS Orgasm…

    Currently I’ve been using the new Dior harmonie blushes and Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzer in Maui a lot.
