PLEASE let Merrily be one of the blushes that sticks around for good! Love Thing, too!
Hi HeavenLeiBlu,
I’ll hope so! I’m hoping all the ones I didn’t purchase (and maybe the one or two I adore) stick around, LOL.
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!!
Hi Lori,
Yep, you are right! They will rotate as new ones come out, but it definitely seems like MAC is riding the mineral train!
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?
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.
“Thow shimmer shades of Mineralize Skinfinish will be permanent as well.” Are these the New View Duos?
Hi Whitnee,
Could be, but I’m not sure. It may be permanent MSFs (colored ones).
So is it going to be a repromote collection?
Hmm I meant is it going to be in a special packaging?
Hi Valerie,
I don’t think the Mineralize launch will have special packaging.
Hi Valerie,
Some of this is new, some of it is repromotes!
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!
LOL, I still haven’t found love for the MES yet… they look lovely swatched, but not so much in practice.
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.
Hi Pquanda,
LOL! I am not won over yet, I haven’t been impressed when I’ve actually USED them in a look thus far.
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)!!
Hi Pquanda,
Yes, I got Nuance, too! I have Pleasantry, Dainty, Warm Soul, and Nuance! Pleasantry doesn’t look great on me, IMO, either. Too pink.
😉 I think a look with Nuance would be an AMAZING Friday post!! 🙂
Hi Pquanda,
LOL!! I will try, Pquanda!
*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!
Hi Tekoa,
I’m so glad you’re enjoying them. Show me the way to love them!
I love Nuance and Dainty the most thus far.
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?
Hi Aline,
I’m glad you’ll be able to get it this time around!
There are three MSFs with this launch, I believe.
wow!! can’t wait! anything in mind christine??
Hi Lindsay,
I’m interested in the Sheersheen powders, but not too much else!
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.
Hi Kit,
Probably. I believe their loose mineral foundation contains talc, so I don’t think they’ll be stopping any time soon.
Christine,
As always I am totally looking forward to your review and to see which of the mineralized shadows you think are dups. Thanks.
🙂 Thanks!
