Agreed! Merrily is the only one I have so far, but I LOVE it!!! I had to be patient at the counter because my boyfriend’s buying me makeup this weekend, for my birthday!

Wow itll be uber nice to have some of these semi-perm, from what I understand the mes will rotate every few months so the 6 aren’t perm forever. I can’t wait to see what’s next!! LOL though I’ll grab a couple prob the brown duo, and the gold/green one.

Electroflash has renewed my love for mes!!

Woah. What a big collection. Please enlighten me what are the differences between Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15, Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation / Loose, Mineralize Skinfinish Natural and the New View duo. For what purpose is each of them?

Christine Avatar

Hi Miss QQ,

Oh, yes, it’s a huge launch. Satinfinish is a liquid, and it has a dewy/glowy finish – I didn’t like it, personally, because it made me look oily rather than dewy, but I know others swear by it. Mineralize Skinfinish Natural is a matte, incredibly sheer foundation in baked form. The loose mineralize foundation is just that, loose powder. The New View duo combines the MSF Natural with a shimmer half for highlighting.

So I already have Pleasantry and Love Thing from Sonic Chic. Hopefully Gentle is going to come out with this collection so I can get it. I’m passing on all the others though and I still don’t like MES!

Still HATE MES (played with my roomies odd couple yesterday, UGH) but am exciting to see some of the mineralize blushes are sticking around. I’m thinking dainty, pleasantry, nuance (I HOPE), and gleeful are definitely in. I was talking to my MA and she said dainty, nuance, and merrily are flying.. see a lot of posts/reviews for merrily.

Hey Christine!!
Did you get Nuance, as well? Or just Pleasantry and Dainty? Dog.. I cannot pull of pleasantry, even though it gorgeous! I look a hot mess (I’m yellow like the Simpsons)!!

*hugs the MES* Personally, I am loving the Mineralized Eyeshadow and am quite thrilled to see some new/repromotes joining the family.

I’m also having a hard time picking a blush. Help!

yay! i didnt get a chance to pick up brightside/gallery gal when it originally was released so i will be snatching that one up.. and picking up a backup of illusionary/burning ambition as well..

but werent the 3 MSF’s supposed to be released with this collection as well?

Wonder if these will contain talc. The only reason I have avoided the Mineralize product so far is that they contain talc, and it tends to irritate my cheeks and chin and nose.
