MAC Cosmetics - Sheer Minerals

Year: 2008 Launches
Christine |

Thanks to Bjooti.net for these images! The site is in Swedish (it is one of my favorite sites to look at, though, ha!), so I don’t know if the text has more description.  Nonetheless, I presume that the mineral makeup is the same as or similar to the previous mineral makeup foundations that came out (the packaging is the same).   I’d like to say those are MSFs, too…  No real word on this, and it could end up being an international only launch, too (since US already launched the mineral powders!).

Check out product photos…

I love her site too! I’m so happy she’s giving some comments in english now because when she didn’t all I could do was looking at pictures! (I know my English sucks. :))

I just read it, and it said something about it being blushes, but she didn’t seem completely sure. Also, my Swedish sucks (I’m Danish ;).

It’s a release of the mineralpowders here in Scandinavia (we don’t have them yet), but I didn’t get much more info than that I’m afraid. They go on sale over here in about two weeks time.

there’s a thread running on specktra about this bjooti.net picture. And the overall opinion seems to be that this might be a hoax.
I had my suspicions about this picture too… strange un-Mac-like font, strange shadow behind the model’s face, product pictures overlap, and the MSF’s almost look identical to those that were launched last year in August. Nobody seems to be able to confirm if it is a hoax or not.

Judging from the picture, it would be a great idea.

Hi Bart! It’s not a hoax – the photos were put together by Bjooti.net to represent their website/feel. The font is not put on there by MAC, but by Bjooti themselves…

The owner of Bjooti came over here and commented that it is a release coming to Scandanavia in 2 weeks.

This is Google’s translated version of her post:
I had to me that they were already, but the MAC Sheer Minerals is a collection that will reach the disks in the Nordic countries on more than two weeks. It consists of mineralfoundations in nine different colors (will cost 305 kronor each) and also a couple of different rouge that I have no price information or the name.
Shuffles I confuse them with an old release, are those already in place, or is it something new? Någon som vet bättre än mig? Someone who knows better than me?
