MAC - Semi Precious Discussion

[shontay07108]

Ok, I think Geo Pink cremesheen is all I want. Natural Flare seems like a few things I already have.

OK, I'm confused. The one MES I wanted from seeing the first pics was this light one in the left corner. But it isn't Minerale Mode I think, which one is this? sized_DSC02247.jpg (600×399)

I am cool toned and fair (NW15), and I plan to get Gem of Roses l/s and Feeling Flush MB definately. And maybe Blue Sheen MES. That will be it for me I think.

What are you cool fair toned ladies getting?

I'm really wanting gem of roses and feeling blush now after seeing swatches and reviews. Temptalia said gem of roses is warm toned, but it doesn't look overly so to me. It looks like something would suit me, so I'm getting it anyways.

I love how Blue Sheen looks but a girl can only have so many blue eyeshadows... boo.
Not to mention I would probably never finish it.
I can't wait til someone reviews Dark Indulgence... and is it me, or does the name make you think of a Godiva chocolate?

It could be Clarity. Liba said it was a beigey colour.

I know, that's what I thought too, but on Temptalia Clarity looks a lot different from what I expected. MAC Semi-Precious Mineralize Eyeshadows Swatches, Photos, Reviews (Part 1)

NEVER! Blues are my favorite! I could never have too many

If you love it and will use it, buy another!

This is my list but I'm still unsure.

Geo Pink Cremesheen Glass
Gem of Roses Lipstick
Golden Gaze E/S
Mineral Mode E/S

Richly Revered Cremesheen Glass maybe
Semi Precious Pearl maybe
Semi Precious Rose Quartz maybe
Clarity E/S maybe
Unsurpassable E/S maybe
Jade's Fortune E/S maybe

I can see myself using the two definate eyeshadows and the lipstick and gloss are very 'me' colours. I like the look of Richly Revered C/G but not sure how often I'd wear it although it is very autuminal. The MSFs seem less pigmented than normal and I'm unsure if I want to mess with the splodge in the middle to mix them right. The eyeshadows look beautiful in the pans but I rarely use the mineral eyeshadows I have so I'm not sure if I'd use these. I like how I could pick areas of colour to use although Temptalia didn't pick up on this. I'd like to see some of the colours picked out as swatches. All three maybe colours have greeny tones but they aren't green at the same time. I don't know what to do. I didn't really want to spend much on this collection as it didn't grab me and I feel 'wierd' buying much because of that. Hmmm.

The MSFs have definitely caught my eye. I'm going to have whittle down which ones I want because I def. cannot afford all 4. It's a shame most of the lipsticks are lustres, I find the formula kindof drying so I usually pass them.

i posted some swatches and my review! http://killerlipgloss.com/mac-semi-precious-collection-swatches/

 

[*JJ*]

temptalia's review of the mes is a bit disappointing, she doesn't seem too impressed

Thanks for posting swatches. The inner circle of Goldstone looks huge in your MSF.

 

[AudreyNicole]

Ok now that I have seen Temptalia's swatches and read the reviews, my list stands at 3 items. I will preorder them, and only swatch those 3 things at the store so I don't get tempted by anything else that I wasn't originally drawn to. LOL!

Gem of Roses l/s
Feeling Flush MB
Blue Sheen MES

My birthday is on the 12th. Happy birthday to meeeeee! My husband will be thrilled that he doesn't have to shop.

 

[Lisianthus]

She's just posted a review of Mineral Mode. It must be Mineral Mode then.

 

[tamarindi]

Only gem of roses for me, just not a fan of mac's mineral products

 

[NeonRocks]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Finally, the Temptalia and MBB swatches are up, yay!
Even though I already own the Rose Quartz MSF, there are some items on my wishlist...

- Neo Pink Cremesheen Glass
- MAC Semi-Precious Pearl Mineralize Skinfinish
- Gem of Roses Lipstick

I'm still a bit in doubt about the Mineralized Blushes. They look gorgeous, but I'm not sure which color would suit me...
The release date for the Netherlands is set on July the 2nd, but there are some rumors on Twitter that the release on counters might be a few days later. I hope there is no delay!

 

[mac_aiken]

Golden Gaze looks very much like Laura Mercier's Black Gold shadow which I love. For now my list hasn't changed much. I will get Smoked Ruby and one of the MSFs and that's it.

ME:

Blue sheen, smoked ruby, golden glaze.


I have grease face/oily skin, so Mineral products on my face IS A NO NO!!!!!! I wanna see more swatches and comparisons to see if i want more MES.

How did I miss that Musky Amethyst was a frost? Frost and I are not on speaking terms right now. So that's a no go for me.

Don't worry, it's got a finish that looks and feels the same as the rest of the lustres - it's a frost like Cunning was a frost - in other words, not really a frost
