MAC - Sheer Minerals Discussion

[newagetomatoz]

Crap, I'm at a dilemma. I already have a Petticoat, but it is like 60% remaining. Should I get a second one when it's released, or hold off on it so I have more money for all the other collections coming out?

Thanks for confirmign that I need this brush. I hate buying brushes cuz they are so expensive, yet I dont want to miss out on this!

I'm getting either just Petticoat or Petticoat and So Ceylon on monday, but I won't be buying them in person. I've seen Petticoat before and definitely want it, but how much do I need So Ceylon? I'm super pale, I don't know how much I can use it?

Is it worth it because it's limited? Tricky when I can't go and look at it myself!

Sry that I accidently added the brush to your list. I know they are very expensive.

This one was 35 EUR here but it is so soft and also so tiny. I'm kinda afraid to hurt it while i'm using it

But I preferred the 181 to the 182 because I needed a new blush brush and the 182 would be to big for that for me. But I'll buy the 182 for powder later (next year I guess. Too many to addictive stuff coming up in the LEs)

I had wanted it since Sonic Chic, but couldnt afford it in the summer. I told myself that Id buy it when it came out with Sheer Minerals.....so I have to. I love blush...and I want something to apply it perfectly so whyyyyyyy not?

I say get a second one because you KNOW you love Petticoat. The new collections you won't necessarily like everything, so you may not even spend an additional $25.

so true. I missed Sonic Chic but those Mineralized Blushes

they deserve a great brush to apply them.

i had one petticoat and i got a second one + so ceylon...i loved so ceylon so much that today i ordered a back up today! soft and gentle is gorgeous too very similar to Shimpagne.

I'm NW15,and I will be getting So Ceylon and Gold Deposit.I have tried So Ceylon in the past and it is really nice as a bronzer on your face or your body.It's a light bronzy color with a little bit of rose to it,on me at least.I would get Petticoat,but I already have that.

Are the loose powder shimmery things a must-have? Those of you who have seen both, either in the past or recently, if you could get 2 MSFs or 1 MSF and 1 loose powder shimmer thing (i forget the name sry! lol), what would you get? I've already got Gold Deposit, Shimpagne, Shooting Star and Lightscapade. TIA!

 

[AdlersMommy22]

I'd get an MSF and a sheertone (I think thats what they're called?) haha... Im not a HUGE fan of MSF's... but i love loose shimmery powdered anything. LOL

I'm paler than NW15 (alabaster in MUFE's mat velvet +) and I wear petticoat! On my cheeks! It's definitely not too dark for you.

If you love petticoat, get another. If you only use Petticoat once in a blue moon, don't. Plus, other items you are interested in may well end up in the Clearance Bin.

I was thinking about holding off on getting a new one because of the price going up to $28--not much, but still. And I know that a couple weeks after the collection releases, I could probably get one for abotu $20-24. I think I may just do that.

I missed Shimpagne so I am glad I got Soft & Gentle now!

I skipped So Ceylon because I have Warmed, and Gold Deposit was too gold for my taste

I would say get MSF Petticoat and Sheersheen Powder Lucent (or Silver Aura)

I'm so mad. I went down to Beverly Hills today to get my Petticoat and ended up driving in freakin' circles for hours because I got lost. I was going to cry and ended up just going home before I ever found the MAC PRO store. :: Sighs :: All well. It has been a CRAPPY day (starting with a 6am wake up call from our smoke detectors) so I guess I should have seen it coming that my directions were wrong.

But the good news is next week I'm going to go to the store I actually know and get it. Plus, maybe a little more since I'll actually have more money next week. Maybe that Sheersheen powder or something from Red She Said. AND there's a Sephora right there at the Hollywood & Highland center where my MAC store is so I'm going to get some Urban Decay Primer Potion or Shadow Insurance (not sure yet) since my eyeshadow has been creasing like crazy all of a sudden with just a paint pot now.

Sorry to ramble, but like I said, today sucked

. I wanted my Petticoat.

 

[abbyquack]

^^ so sad! sorry you didn't find it, especially since it was a PRO store!

At least next week will bring more $$ but I am like you, I'd want it this week if I could! lol.

Good idea! I want Soft & Gentle also, but if it's perm then I can just get it later, as in December when I've got more moolah!

Or what the hell, maybe I'll get it now too in addition lol.

Yeah LOL. I suppose that's what I get for not being a good girl and waiting, but I missed Manish since I didn't have money so I wanted my MSF.

I know how it feels to have a bad day. You will get your stuff soon!
