MAC - Semi Precious Discussion

[MACina]

Thank you soooooooooo very much Liba

Your review is really very helpful....it is great to hear about the texture of the products!

 

[Mac-Guy]

now I must see some more pictures! ^^ when will temptalia post complete swatches??

I think MAC didn't send her all the products (yet). I hope they do so before they release the collection. I'm really interested in the pink MSF and the coral blush.

Probably when she buys the rest of the collection.

I think I'm going to need gem of roses. I'm unsure of feeling blush. I have dollymix and pink swoon, and I'm not sure if it's too close to either. I'm a sucker for cool toned pink stuff.

Thank you liba for your review on the products! I have written down my final list for this collection:

Gem of Roses l/s
Lush Amber l/s
Geo Pink c/g
Natural Flare c/g
Warmth of Coral MB
Dark Indulgence MES
Semi-Precious Rose Quartz MSF
Semi-Precious Goldstone MSF (maybe)
Pressed Amber MB (maybe)
Feeling Flush MB (maybe)

For the last three, I have to swatch them myself to decide if I want them or not on the 7th of July.

Wow, it looks so pretty in the pan! It looks like it would be much too dark for me, though, sadly.

hi everyone,

Thanks for all the feedback - it was 100% my pleasure to rave on about Semi-Precious for everyone! I love the Mineralize products just in general and this is just a huge, gorgeous, complicated collection - definitely go swatch in a store, play, experiment and don't make your wallet cry too hard!

She has lipstick swatches up.

I'd say all those lipstick swatches are very accurate to how the colors showed up on my (pigmented lips) except for Lush Amber, which read warm,but slightly dirty tan/peach/nude. Lush Amber in particular was a surprise, considering the lustres in the Holiday collection didn't override my lip tone at all and competed with them badly, looked slapped on. I also got dramatically more wear time on the one I wound up wearing all day (One of a Kind) - and I'd even put some Looks Like Sin gloss over it. I think these lipsticks would look extra nice lightly lined with a lip pencil, although maybe a full lip covering with pencil could work too.

It looks gorgeous on Christine's cheeks. It also seems to be very pigmented - which is a good thing - but maybe almost too pigmented for NW 15 - 20 skin?

I have more than enough blush to last me a while....but the color on her cheeks is pretty.

She usually posts once she's done swatching everything that's sent to her then updates the posts after she's able to purchase the items that she didn't get from Mac. As mentioned l/s swatches are up as well as Feeling Flush blush.

Thanks Liba, what Big Bounce shadow did you use as a base by the way? Particularly under Unsurpassable to get that bright green?

We tried the dark green one and then Trophy, over that for the heck of it. I'd say stick to Trophy, since that's a basic peach and will work with anything, or use the bluish purple one if you want to use mostly the blue side for periwinkle violet color. I'm going to try the snow white Cool Elite too on my own, I think that'll give interesting results.

I'm a bit torn as I want to buy this in person so I can see it all IRL but I also want to hold off incase Debenhams has a beauty event. Thinking so far the pink and pearl MSF, perhaps the brown MB as a bronzer? the eye/cheek blending brushes and I need that vampy lipstick! Uk prices http://www.daintydollymix.com/

I'm wondering the same thing. It does look pretty, also her description of the texture makes me want to put it on my list again. Will need comparison swatches to decide.

I think if used with a 187 it would give you a nice rosy glow.

Goldstone MSF swatches and review is posted up on Temptalia!
