Mineralize Skin Finish - basic facts

scrapbookromance · 03-01-2006, 04:38 PM #1 (**permalink**)

I tried searching for info about MSFs, but maybe I just wasn't hitting the right word combo.

sorry for being uneducated about this MAC product

but what exactly are the MSFs? I see in FOTDs that they're used on the cheeks and such, but thats all I know. I couldn't seem to find them on the MAC website either. d/c'ed?

thank you for sharing your knowledge

MSF = mineralize skinfinish

They're dome shaped powders used as cheek colours, highlighters etc. They give quite a "glowy" look.

Search for mineralize on eBay and you'll find some.

They're have been several collections which have included MSFs now, but because they are baked rather than pressed, they're difficult and slow to produce and are always LE. They're very popular so always sell out quickly.

how much are they in the uk?

erm. I just looked up some reviews about them and I hear all good things about how they look glowey and dewey and add healthy color. I've been looking for a product like that too and I got all excited. hmph. any hints from MAC as to the next collection where they'll be more? heh

I think 6 new ones are coming out this summer. You may still be able to get Petticoat or Naked You at a counter or mac store. Oh and a lot of people are selling them here too.

hmm a smidge off topic, but can someone name ALL the MSFs ever made?

-- So Ceylon
-- Pleasureflush

what else should I hunt for? I have Naked You and Stereo Rose btw.

pleasureflush is damn near impossible to find. good luck. they go gor $125+ on ebay.

so ceylon and shimpange pop up from time to time on this board, and the LJ mac sales boards. still, they almost always are $40+ for the older ones. the newer ones (naked you and petticoat) seem to go for about $36-40. and thisis all in US dollars.

They still have Petticoat MSF at my Marshall Field's counter if anyone wants one.

toby1 · 03-02-2006, 08:05 AM #13 (**permalink**)

My counter still has both Naked You and Petticoat

Oh God. I hope there aren't six. I hope they do three new and three re-promotes like they did with Goldplay. I can't afford to buy 6 new ones and then backups on top of that. LOL

i've heard that all 6 new MSFs will be brand new and not new releases, is that true??

and what are the chances that i'd be able to find a new vegas MSF??

thank you!
