My order stands at only 5 out of 17 products - if i had more disposable income, i would have bought more of the blushes and MSFs - but i gotta save for a vacation in August.

Mineralize Eye Shadow
-- Earthly – Beige, peach and cool brown melange - a nice practical color that looks so special because it swirls.
-- Magnetic Attraction – Orange, pink and gold melange - so much more beautiful than it sounds, really multi-dimensional
-- Neo Nebula – Cream, warm amethyst and warm pink melange - another color that can go cool or warm.
-- Bright Moon – Grey, silver and icy green melange - i really like it because the grey is really bluish and the green leans aqua

I have now tried ALL the colors on my eyes, and i am content these are the best for me, or don't dupe something i already have. (OK, OK, i probably have something close to Earthly - i do have the UD Naked I palette - but this will be easier to carry in my makeup kit)


Mineralize Blush
-- Stratus - such a beautiful deep plum with gold and copper sheen!
Only this one, because two of others are close to colors i already have and magenta is not something i'd wear.


I have not pre-ordered but am waffling about
Mineralize Skin Finish
-- Earthshine
Only this one, because the other three are close to colors i already have. I suspect i will eventually give in to my baser urges and buy it...

I was debating a lot about magnetic attraction. It is beautiful, but that type of color is hard for me to pull off.

I totally agree with you, give Earthshine a chance, haha. Even before I swatched the product, it reminded of glorify and glorify is my *hg* I rthink it does have some sparkles/glitter in it, but I don't think it is overpowering. I'll def post swatches next week when I get them.

I agree as well. Earthshine swatched was amazing, and I had to get it. I am going to figure out how to make it work on me. It is my little makeup project.

Okay, so I just got back from the PRO store in L.A and the manager let me swatch  and preview the collection,  she also let me do a preorder too, so its ready to pick up next Thurs.  Sorry, I wasn't able to take pictures of the swatches because I was in the back room, and I think she was in a hurry preparing for IMATS. To be honest, I don't think you need to haul any of the MSFS, except for EARTHSHINE!  The other MSFS look like mineralized blushes, it kind of reminds of the blushes from the quite cute collection because they were that bright! I got a feeling that Earthshine is going to sell out, it is gorgeous and can be used as a bronzer, it kind of reminds me of METAL ROCK, but I don't own metal rock.  Earthshine has no orange in it, and the opacity can vary depending if you use it with a light or heavy hand.MAC has been dead on with the collections because I rarely buy any face products in general since its hard to suit my complexion.  I'm cooled toned, and not completely pale because my skin looks biege. I have no yellow tones and range from a nw 25-30. If you have loved Glorify and Sundripped than you'll love this one! The lipsticks were a pass, and I'm a lipstick whore. I also got Stratus blush because it is also gorgeous! :clapping: It reminds me of a more pigmented plummy x- rocks blush that released a few years ago, it can be worn as a bronzer or blush.

I am glad u liked those 2. Looking at all the MB and MSFS I think those 2 are my favs and The most unique to my stash.

I am so sorry to have missed Rose Quartz and Redhead (I won't even mention Stereo Rose - I hope they'll bring that back again someday).

I was thinking of:

Solar Ray (looks really glittery in swatches so iffy on this)
Ring of Saturn
Light Year (also glittery)
Centre of the Universe

I have no mineralize products other than Warm Soul blush. A bit of sheen is ok. Glitter, no. Metallic, not so much. Warm corals, bronzes, oranges, all great on me. I just know if I get these and they're very shimmery they will sit in my makeup drawer and collect dust. Those of you who have seen my shortlist; are there any that were less shimmery than the others?

Thanks! :)

I am more a fan of the MSFs in this collection than the MB. Solar ray was too shimmery orange on my skintone. Light year was just as shimmery as solar ray but not as orange. Ring of saturn and COU both swatched beautifully (I prefered these two over the other two products) but both are shimmery. I don't think that you can escape the shimmer factor with any of the mineralized products in this collection. Definately swatch the products if you can. I plan on using a light hand when applying the MSF's.

The only product that I thought was too shimmery for my taste was one of the MES, which was a bright white shimmer when applied.

Also I love using stereo rose as a blush, and that is the level of shimmer that I am comfortable with.

First off, those three are really beautiful wearable colors. If i didn't already have stuff like them (and wasn't trying to be at least a little economical), i would have gotten them.

They are shimmery, which I think that is a FEATURE of this collection. They are not glittery, so you're safe there.

I do think the blushes are less shimmery than the MSFs, since each mixes a matte or satin color with a metallic. So Solar Ray should be less shimmery than the other two. It looks to me like the MSFs are more shimmery than the blushes. Still, i think Light Year may be less so than Center of the Universe. But you'll need to see them on yourself to gauge how you feel. I loved them.

And if you don't like the shimmer, i'm sure some people here will be happy to take them off your hands.

I'm still anxiously waiting to find a clear swatch of Center of the Universe!

Here's what I'm limiting myself to in this collection:

Earthshine MSF- you ladies made me add it to my list! I'll find some sort of use for it.
Center of the Universe MSF- unless I don't like the swatches
Star Wonder MSF
Cut a Caper ls
Pleasureseeker ls

I'm still unsure of whether I want to order online as soon as the collection is up or I wanna buy in store.. I don't wanna end up with an ugly MSF!

Unfortunately, I don't know if you'll ever get it. It's REALLY hard to capture on camera (well at least on my iphone). It was bea-u-ti-ful to the eye, but didn't show up at all on my pictures. I can tell you that I love Glorify, and Center of the Universe basically gave Glorify the middle finger! My jaw dropped at how gorgeous it was. It was my second favorite item from the collection, only behind the almighty Stratus.

Is it really orangy and/or bronzy? Would it work on lighter skin tones as a blush? I'll take your word for it and buy it anyways
