I've never tried any of the Mineralize Blushes yet but I do want to try Love Thing and the other blushes as well.

If all goes well, I'll be buying Love Thing in a few hours' time when I do my MAC shopping.
Just want to know how the staying power of these blushers compare to the typical line of powder blushers and the BPBs? I have pretty oily skin, so I don't want something that fades on me too quickly.

You'll probably want to skip these, then. I'm really not oily and they fade on me far quicker than I believe they should.

Satin blushes, sheertones, sheertone shimmers, BPBs, cremeblushes, beauty powders... they all last perfectly on me. These don't. There's not much else I can say, except that this kind of makes them suck, especially when they're so damn expensive. It's a shame, because they're absolutely lovely upon initial application, but I'm not a girl who likes to touch up more than her lipgloss through the run of a day.

Aww what a pity. The colors look gorgeous though! Thanks for all the feedback, guess I'll be giving these blushes a miss then, my oily skin is going to make them fade so quickly on me.
Looking on the bright side, I now have more money to spend on other MAC stuff.

I'm working on talking myself into parting with most of the ones I have. It's difficult, because I bloody love the colours. Sigh.

I generally use Solar Riche from Neo Sci Fi. I'm sure there are others that will work, you just have to apply them properly: I use a 187 and very lightly swipe the tips across the product before gently applying to my face. It doesn't hurt to start with too little, as you can always add more. You don't want it to look like you're wearing bronzer - you just want it to make you look like you see the sun once in a while and actually change colour as a result.

Funny, I was just thinking about this. I bought Gentle, and ended up never opening it because I wanted something I could put in a palette. The MA put Stark Naked on one cheek, Gentle on the other. Although they looked the same initialy, within an hour the Gentle seemed to fade a bit and disappear in certain lights altogether. I thought it was how minerals reflected light... So I exchanged the Gentle for Stark Naked -- which I love!
