MAC Quite Cute Collection: Giggly Mineralize Blush

MAC Giggly Mineralize Blush ($23.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a new and limited edition duo-toned blusher from MAC’s Quite Cute Collection, which will launch in-stores on April 7th. It’s described as a “light pink with pearly plum heart.” The outer color is a darkened bubblegum pink with subtle blue undertones, while the heart itself is a frosted berry plum. When swirled together, the result is a heavily pinked plum with a soft, frosted sheen.

Where to Buy: MAC Cosmetics, April 7th in-stores, approximately April 4th online

The Glossover

B-

The pigmentation on Giggly was the best out of the three mineralize blushes, and while it, too, was powdery, it did not sheer out too much when applied, which was an issue the other two had.

I got this blush- it's gorgeous!!!!!!!!???? <3

that blush looks gorgeous :) which blush brush did you use to apply it? :) thanks again for the great swatches

I love this on you. Definitely one of my favorite products on you- Your face looks flawless.

I just want to say you look so lovely here!

WOW! You look flawlessly perfect! I've never seen your cheeks so beautifully blushed!!! Like they'v been saying, this blush is just too cute and pretty on you!!! Now you make me wanna have it!!! I'm guessing it could work on my light skintone (NW18-20), but do you think it would work on a NC15??? You look so beautiful, again!!! :D :D

since you say pinkier than Plum Foolery, would that mean Ambering Rose?

No, Ambering Rose is redder :)

Hi Christine. I'm wondering if this could be too similar to "two virtues" that I already own, they look close in the pictures, although the finish might be different? What do you think? Ta

That one is the prettiest one and it looks so nice on you :)

That blush looks actually really cute on you...

that blush looks beautiful on you christine=]

is it similar to mac dainty????

This is much more plum when swirled - the outer color is darker than Dainty!

Do you think this would work on an NC 40/42 skin tone, Christine?

This one would be the most suitable of the three - it should be okay! :)

Do you think this blush or any of the mineralize blushes from this collection would suit an nc 43 skintone? Thanks.

This one would be the most suitable - I think Sakura's combination of pale and powdery may turn ashy on darker skin tones.

This blush has the best color from the collection, I think. Your skin looks so smooth!

you look lovely, darling :)

You look absolutely gorgeous! Everything looks amazing together :) It's a shame that some people are rude when there is no need for it though, yet you handle it with such tact.

I LOVE that you put at the bottom what you're wearing on your whole face... even though I know this post is about the blush, your eyes look so awesome here... thanks for posting!

LOVE this one! I will definitely pick it up as well as Candy Yum Yum lipstick. :)

Thank you for the swatches!! Can you tell me which brush did you use for apply this blush?

Must have it. I need the Candy Yum Yum lipstick and this. That's it. NEED.

very nice, looks very much like love rock, though :/

is this sorta comparable to MAC Well Dressed?

This is much more plum when swirled - way less pink and much darker!

Is Play time similar to Mac Violetta

This looks rather close to the mineralized blush dainty,in you think they're similar? Xoxo

This is much more plum when swirled - the outer color is darker than Dainty! :)

I think this blush too pink on you ! I don't really like to look like strawberry to go out side x) !

I don't just review/swatch products that look good on me - the whole point is to show you what it looks like and whether it's something that would work for you, not me :)

Gorgeous photo of you, Christine! Giggly really makes your cheeks pop! Is the sheen/frost subtle, or can you see flecks on your skin? And I love your lip color too...

It's a soft frost - not quite a total sheen but not super frosty like some mineralize blushes. You don't see flecks of shimmer!

Great color on you! However, I do NOT like this collection. Just not my shades.

this one is soooooooooo gonna be mine :))) i think it looks wonderful :)

which setting powder are you using in this picture? your complexion looks so nice!

Guerlain Les Violettes :)

I absolutely love the way you look in this picture, that brown eyeliner makes your eyes pop. Beautiful!

I really like this one. Lovely colors.

So since it's powdery would it appear ashy on darker skintones Christine?

It might. I think it should be OK but there is a chance it could.

As you said, this one looks the most wearable out of the three. And it looks SO CUTE on you! I LOVE your face swatch! :3 Glow and bright. Thx for the swatch
