MAC - Sheer Minerals Discussion

Ha! Got my Petticoat. It is soooo pretty. I love how it just gives my cheeks a rosey glow to them

.

And I tried Rougemarie nail polish and I really like it but I've learned I HATE MAC nail polish's so I might have to see if I can find another brand with the same kind of color.

Try OPI Bastille My Heart from th France Collection. At least to me they look similar.

I can't decide which MSF to get! I want all 3 but can't justify spending almost £50 at the moment!!

It's driving me crazy!

Get Petticoat and maybe Soft & Gentle.

 

[SARAHheartsMAC]

Thanks for the advice- I think I will get petticoat as that is more likely to sell out...then I might treat myself to the others on payday next Friday

 

[Heiaken]

Yep deffo get Petticoat since it just is pure gorgeousness!

 

[SARAHheartsMAC]

Grrrrrr!
I just sent my OH to my local store (on his break at work) to pick up Petticoat.
The SA said she had never heard of it! THEN after about twenty minutes of looking she finally said 'oh yeah, we had it but it's sold out' !!

It makes me so mad that SA's do not know about new collections it amazes me how they get jobs!

Rant over.

I got Soft & Gentle today and I

it! According to the MA, Gold Deposit will come next week, but not So Ceylon. So we are not getting Petticoat and So Ceylon. I put up pics of my Soft & Gentle at the swatch thread. I'm awaiting to see Gold Deposit because after seeing Soft & Gentle, I'm convinced that these MSFs sure are pretty.

 

[MACLovin]

I looked up the word Ceylon because I wasn't sure what it meant -- it's an island in the Indian Ocean, south of India.

haha

 

[AdlersMommy22]

ugh im considering getting petticoat just because everyone loves it so much but i REALLY dont use the MSF I have right now.. @ all.... every once in a while as a highlight.

 

[MACLovin]

^But I think it makes a gorgeous blush.. sooo, you should get it.

Don't come in here expecting to be talked out of it, girl.. LOL

I only got S&G, but I may go back to get petticoat because its pretty. and i hope they're not sold out!

 

[capmorlovesmac]

Petticoat is so gorgeous. It has such a pretty pink shimmer

And if your skin is fine with MSFs

I use it over Pleasantry, Blooming or Pink Swoon on my cheeks and I love love love it!

 

[clslvr6spd]

I freaking LOVE Petticoat!!! I had to get a backup of it, it is just SEX!

 

[Ethel]

Is it weird that Petticoat looks bronzy on me? Mine has a lot of veining. The small no-veined part swatches as a really lovely raspberry pink. But the majority of it swatches as a dark pink with heavy bronze undertones. It makes it ruddy almost on my very cool skin. Anyone else have this problem?

I got Petticoat yesterday and now I know what everyone was raving about it for! It is truly beautiful, and Soft & Gentle seemed a little almost cakey shimmery to me...don't know how to describe it, but it doesn't look like an inward glow lol.

But get petticoat, if you're still debating, because it is well worth it.

On another note, am I the only one who was disappointed in the sheersheen things? They're so small, like the size of the medium bare mineral jars (the ones that come in the introductory kit). I thought they'd be bigger, and I wasn't impressed with the product either; seemed a little chalky also.

I love petticoat though!

Ok sort of a dumb question, but Soft & Gentle is my first MSF.. Do you just put this on your cheeks or is it for an all-over glow sorta look? I know you obviously wouldn't use Petticoat all over because it's more of a blush but what about the more neutral ones?

It depends on where you want to glow...most people would probably put it just on their cheeks because you don't want to look greasy, right? Depending on the color, it may look o.k. on the nose or forehead, but I personally stick to the cheek area with these. Try it out and see how you like it, there really aren't a lot of rules to this product. HTH! Enjoy your 1st MSF!

I use Lightscapade that way--buffed along my cheek bone, apples of the cheeks, a bit on the forehead, nose and chin.
