Hi,

I am sure you are up to your eyes with sorting out the new skin care & holiday products, but having watched a bunch of YouTube tutorials recently which used their products & seen a couple of the new holiday colours in a magazine, I paid a visit to my local MAC counter for the first time in about 5 years :)

They have just released some lovely new Mineralized eye shadow trios as part of the holiday 'Red She Said' collection. The ones I particularly liked the shades of were

Threesome (frosty burnt red/copper pearl/frosty mid tone pink)
Danger Zone (frosty true red/silver pearl/frosty black)
Outspoken (frosty plum/silver pearl/frosty violet)
Word of Mouth (frosty pale beige/copper pearl/frosty blue gray).

(I realise there are some repeats in there - copper pearl is mentioned a couple of times, as is silver pearl).

Whilse I was there I also looked at their Mineralized blushes for the first time & they were all gorgeous!!!

Love thing (dirty burgundy with gold pearl)
Gentle (raspberry wih gold pearl)
Warm Soul (Mid tone beige with gold pearl)
Love Joy (warm mid tone brown with gold pearl)
Gleeful (deep dirty blue pink with gold pearl)
Dainty (light yellow pink with gold pearl).

Can anyone suggest any SN shades which are close matches to either of these lovely ranges? Otherwise, can we have some dupes (particularly the blushes) please????!!!

I noticed Bobbi Brown's new collection is also "Copper Diamonds" - the copper and gold theme being copied and complimented everywhere. Could it be they're all copying Silk Naturals ? :lol:

Hi Helena,

I looove the new Copper Diamonds look on the BB website! I have ordered the SN cream liner in the shimmery brown colour which i think will be a close match for BB's Burnished cream shadow (well fingers crossed anyway, since I have the BB Espresso shadow dupe - Basalt - already).

I know my title was confusing :? (tried to get it all on the line in the allowed number of characters) but I actually meant could anyone suggest SN shades which are similar to the Mac ones.....or could Karen make us some dupes, especially of the blushes? :D I am hooked on SN products so don't want to shop anywhere else - particularly with Mac prices!!!

Oh gosh I hang out so much at this forum that you girls have started to read my mind! Talk about freaky makeup mind meld. I tried out my friends' Mac Mineralised Gentle blush and fell in loooove. Was popping online to beg Karen to dupe it. And you beat me to it! Yay! So I support these dupes!

Anything copper and gold is fine by me. Do it! I'm especially excited about those eyeshadow trios. I must admit burgundy intrigues me, too.
