Skinfinish and eye makeup remover...?

[Kels823]

Okay I have two questions...

1) Is Mac Skinfinish a Pro product? I couldnt find it on the mac website.. and

2) which eye makeup remover do you prefer? I was using Almay but I wasnt super thrilled w/ it... it was okay but nothing to write home about.

Thanks!!!

Mineralize Skinfinishes are Limited Edition, they only come out with certain collections. If you want to buy them lots of people on here sell them, and you can locate past ones with MAC's gone but not forgotten program. They are also being released in late July with the Amuse Collection. There will be repromotes of Porcelain Pink and Shimpagne, along with a new caramel/tan color called Shooting Star.

Sorry I can't help with the eye makeup remover =/

1. mineralized skinfinishes have only been realeased 3 times, i believe, as regular collections. roccoco in 2oo4, goldplay in 2oo5, and lingerie in 2oo5. they were limited edition, and sold out pretty quickly. they're apparently being re-released with a muse/amuse, in late summer. they are not pro, they're just always limited. they're expensive and time consuming to produce, which is why mac doesn't make them permanent.

2. i only use mac wipes. they get everything off, including waterproof makeup and pro longwears, plus, they're super convenient, and smell wonderful. cleanse off oil is an alternative, although i personally can't stand it, some people love it. it does do the job, it just feels super greasy.

Thanks so much you guys!

Now, if I want to buy something from someone here on the site, where would I go? (Sorry, Im such a dork...)

I use baby oil as an eyemakeup remover

2) I used to use Lancome BI-FACIL and I liked it. But once I ran out I didn't want to buy another because it was way too expensive IMO for a makeup remover. It cost $23! So I went off to the drugstore and bought Neutrogena's Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover since it looked like the Lancome one. I tried it, and it worked just like the Lancome one! There was no noticeable difference at all exept for the packaging were different, Neutrogena and Lancome were slightly different colours, and the Neutrogena one was A LOT cheaper! I loveeee the Neutrogena one so much.

you can go to the sales section (swap/sale forum), it on the bottom of the list.
If you see something you like pm the member who's selling.
You might want to figure out which MSFs you want first- they're all used differently. For example- Shimpagne and Porcelain Pink give you all over finish, Petticoat is awesome as a blush, SO Ceylon is great as a bronzer, etc. Naked You has tons of chunky gold glitter in it, so a lot of people don't like it. HTH!

I recently ran out of makeup remover and got sick of spending so much $$ on it so i tried out sorbelene cream - i've been hearing about it for years. And it's great - even gets of my fluid lines! Nice and gentle as well.

Thank you all so much for all the input!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear by the MAC cleanse-off oil. Takes everything off like a dream and is gentle on sensitive skin like the eyes and lips.

Although for those who say it's too greasy - you do realise that you have to wash it off with water, right?

I use Philosophy Purity as my cleanser and it also takes off all of my makeup, even mascara and eyeliner.
