For real? I haven't had a payoff problem with any of mines... Even when applied dry...
Anyone else HATE mineralize eyeshadows?!

I useto hate them! I would get sucked in buy them and then instantly almost get rid of them! BUT NOW! I am in LOVE with them! I use them with make up forever eye seal and their is NO fallout and the color is so intense! I only want to use them these days~
I am also loving the fix plus with the mineral msf's and stuff. I have been using msf as my foundation and loving it!

Um, the difference is ASTOUNDING when you use fix +! For real, I wasn't expecting a miracle here because I was just so fed up, but I tried it out with Odd Couple from Electroflash, and that goldy-color actually looks like a shimmery, rich bronze and the purple is a bright flashy shimmer. WOW. Thanks so much ladies! I was really ready to just B2M some of these, but now they get a stay of execution

So I agree completely that before picking up a few tips and tricks these were a hated MAC product for me but not so anymore!
After grilling my MAC MUA's here are my favorites.
1. Fix+ which has been mentioned is a good option.
2. Water Based Mixing Medium used to dampen a 242 brush is a better option and the color will stay put.
3. Using a base of Paint and CCB mixed together along with option #2 will yield results that will have you regretting every last Mineralize you didn't buy.

I am not fond of them but I don't hate them either. I have only picked up Mi'lady from last year and Sea % Sky from this year. They are highly pigmented and great colors. But I don't think I would buy anymore.

Using a sticky base (like a CCB) is the best way to go imo.

I hate them. I have 3, family silver, Engaging & By Jupiter and i can't worth with them. It just ends up a glittery mess. I don't want them anymore =(

I have all of the MES from MAC except those from the 1st collection (other than Whim). & I LOVE THEM ALL!
Favourites are definately those Flashtronic (Mercurial), Electro Flash (Two To Glow) & Red She Said (Threesome).

I have several, some of them I really like (bright like Mi'Lady which I paid a pretty penny for
) but some of them seem pretty plain like Mercurial, not worth the price.. and some seem really too light to notice any special effect like Love Connection, which I sold. it's just a subtle gold-type shimmer which I can get from so many other different products I own.
I see many are mentioning Fix+, since there isn't a MAC store available to me, could anyone please link me one of those on ebay, or some specktra sale?
thanks so much

I bought one of them...I forgot the name. But it shattered in my checked luggage the last time I flew. Great. Regardless, the glitter went EVERYWHERE and it was SUCH a pain to get all of the glitter off my face at the end of the day. I'll be sticking with the regular eyeshadows and paint pots.
