I do tend to get a little, just a little excessive when it comes to trying out makeup products. But thats also because these are really affordable. Retails for anywhere between USD5.70-USD8 online. I got these at nonpareilboutique.com at 20% off. So the price ended up to be a little over USD5 each. ( which is a really good steal.
Color in picture is at least 80% true to life
Top row - Truth , Cafe, Peachy ( the one at the end in the middle is Highlighter)
Btm Row - Love, Dare, Paradise
*Truth is sheer but buildable. It gives that golden/bronze gold.
*Cafe is really weird coz it gives me a medium red flush even though it looks totally Brown in the pan.
* Peachy does not have too much color, gives my face a natural flush. not too orange/pink at all.I dont think it brightens up my face though. Just gives me a bit of color.
*Love is really pigmented, have to apply lightly or else will look like an orange!
*Dare is My favourite ! I can get a nice rosey coral pink with it.
*Paradise is also really pigmented. You can either get a pink flush if u apply lightly, or build it up to a hot pink. This is a true true pink. Not really something i'll use.
*Highlighter is really really really really great. It is creamy and pigmented. I only need a Little bit to highlight my cheekbones. I also use this to highlight my brow bone and nose bridge. Out of the 7 that i got, I am the MOST pleased with this. It has that really natural satin finish that gives you that healthy glow. Does not make my face look oily at all like some highlighters tend to. And because it is not a shimmery highlighter, even up close you wunt see bits of shimmer that makes you look obviously " made up"
The Mosaic blushes are great. They are pigmented enough that 1 - 2 swipes of the brush is enough for both my cheeks. For the shimmery ones, the shimmers are really natural, not chunky or over the top. The others just have a very nice satin sheen (including highlighter) . I dont have one that is perfectly matte and i'm not sure if there is one. However there will be fall outs on the pan after u swirl/swipe your brush in it. Thats the only con so far.

These babies came really quickly!. There was a spree for these for only
SGD20 each! I think
somer online sellers are selling it for close to
SGD30 or more for these. They are the so-called MAC
MSF Dupes. Now, I
don't own any
MSFs so i cant compare. I've been using Mineral makeup and have been using
EGminerals.
com's radiant glow powders which are made to serve the same purpose as
MSFs.
My loot was in #02 - Orgy orange, and #04 - Glam highlight. I wanted to use the #02 as a blusher
and the other as a highlight, but they
didn't turn out as expected.
Here's a size comparison with my hand. I
couldn't find the Nett weight of the product on the packaging. But
I'm guessing it looks like an 8g or so.
#04 Glam Highlight
It's a really frosty pink with gold shimmer.
#02 - Orgy Orange
Is a shimmery
Bronzey gold.
I tried to do
swatched but they
aren't very good, I'm sure there are other
youtube/blog swatches out there which are better :) I'll do a short review
Short Review
They are very tightly pressed. they don't feel creamy. when i swirl my brush on the pan, there are some fall outs around the pan, veyr little, but enough to get u noticed.
These are ultra shimmery, I'll only suggest to use these as highlights / bronzer.
They are also very sheer. But they do give me that very nice "dewy" look .
However, use sparingly or else will end up looking like a disco ball/oil bathed.
#02 - Orgy Orange - I used this over my normal blusher and as a highlight on my cheekbones, forehead and chin. It gives me a very nice and natural healthy glow. my skin tone is like a golden olive, so white or pinkish highlighter makes me look really weird. This is great!, it has just the right about of color. I believe anyone with golden/yellow/olive skintone will like this.
I did not get #01 Orgy pink because i don't really like pinks on my skin. Though i might get it next time because i love this so much :)
#04- Glam highlight - I got this instead of #03 because this has a golden shimmer and is more of a warm color while #03 is more of a cool pink highlight. So i guess you can pretty much choose either one of these according to your undertone. I don't think there is a need to get both #03 and #04. This does not work as well as an overall facial highlight as #03 for me. I prefer to look natural and have a golden glow to enhance my skin color. I use this to highlight my Brow bone and nose bridge, I dust a bit of this to further highlight my cheekbones too. So far, this is the best shimmery brow bone highlight. I wore this all over my lid with just some smudge pencil eyeliner and it really seemed to brighten up my eyes. I'll definitely use this when i have on more subdued eye makeup.
Overall, I think these are pretty multipurpose, definitely use them on your eyelids or brown bone , OR anywhere you deem fit . Don't restrict these just to the Cheeks. :)
