it is now. when it first came out it was going to be perm at stores and online only, but its now perm everywhere.

Erine, I love your swatches of the Mineralize Sheersheen Powders! Now I want Lucent and Silver Aura. Sigh...

I can't find swatches of anything except the Silver Aura. Are there others out too?

Erine posted them in the Red She Said swatch thread together with RSS.

Lucent looks gorgoeus!! May have to put another order in as I only ordered sheet bronze!

Does anyone know when sheer minerals will be released in us?

thanks dear! i layered em up a bit so that they'd show. they are similar is texture and color payoff as the pearlized pigments.

I should know the answer to this by now but it is slipping my mind. Are the sheersheen powders going to be around for a bit or are they LE to this collection. I am pretty sure that they are LE but I want to double check.

 

[Zantedge]

Lucent and the 181 for me, please! I don't even want an MSF, how odd.

Thanks, just had a look at them then. I like what I see, thanks to Erine too for posting those!

So my Sheer Minerals stuff arrived in the post literally about 15 minutes ago. It's all SO lush. <3 The two MSFs I got are to die for obviously as we all know Petticoat is gorgeous, my one has especially nice veining and Soft and Gentle is just lovely, I can't think of how to describe it but it has a fabulous shimmer, not obvious veining but hints of different patches of gold. I can imagine it will be the perfect light bronzer. I have MAC's Golden but I find it often looks harsh. Soft and Gentle seems like it'll give that sunkissed look.

I only got Silver Aura sheersheen powder and I am super glad I did. The pot is a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be though. Not the same size as the loose beauty powders. It's such a nice colour though to be it doesn't really look silver, more of a beige ended soft pink with an air of Lightscapade about it. Wish I had the other 2 shades aswell but no more money now!

I bought the Petticoat and Soft & Gentle MSF's today. They're both gorgeous. I passed on So Ceylon and Gold Deposit (which was too orange for my liking). So Ceylon was very similar to Warmed from N Collection.

I love both the ones I bought though, and they look great on eyes too. I passed on the loose powders too as I don't think I'll ever use them.

hmm i dunno if i should get the MSFs in this collection because i already have 3 (shimpagne, warmed, and light flush) and i barely use them...

i say go with petticoat. soft & gentle is close to shimpagne and so ceylon is close to warm, so you won't need those two. but petticoat is gorgeous!

Could those who think Petticoat and Light Flush are not similar explain the differences please? I own both now and both showed a nice pink sheen on my face. I'm not that tanned (NC30 in winter and NC35 in summer) but on my face they looked very similar.

From what I can see, Light Flush seems to be a bit more peachy while Petticoat is more on the pink side.

I'm just trying to justify my purchase here. Petticoat looks so pretty in the pan, can that be a reason too?

On me, Light Flush comes across as a bronzey-pink whereas Petticoat is more raspberry. Or, Light Flush is a warm pink and Petticoat a cooler pink. HTHS!

I'm buying it because it looks pretty in the pan :: looks around :: If it looks good on then that'll be a bonus LOL.
