MAC Semi-Precious Rose Quartz Mineralize Skinfinish ($28.00 for 0.22 oz.) is described as a “rosy pink base with inner circle of silver, lime, white-pink, and copper.” As complex as that inner circle sounds, it’s more of a pink beige base with chunkier gold micro-glitter/large sparkle. The outer edge is a medium-dark strawberry pink with subtle yellow undertones. As a warmer skin tone, it’s always nice to see yellow-based pinks, because blue-based pinks tend to dominate cosmetics, particularly blushes.
When the two are mixed together, the color created is a softened pink with a champagne sheen with flecks of sparkle. Applied to cheeks, this ended up being the subtlest shade of the three I tried–it gave just a little pink flush with a shimmer-sheen of pale champagne. The texture is a little rougher than I’d like, mostly due to the center splotch having more of a glittery finish than a softer, finer shimmer. Of the three I tried, this seems to have a frostier finish overall, too. I would like to know why these are 0.22 oz. as compared to 0.35 oz. for previous mineralize skinfinishes.
The overall color was reminiscent of Rhapsody in Two–but much, much darker, which led me to Chic Couple, which has a similar color but doesn’t have the same shimmer-sheen, so it ends up looking darker. It’s a lighter, less red-based Petticoat.

Beautiful! Will definitely be getting this in the collection! Thanks Christine! I was seriously refreshing your website for this review lol.
Oooooh I need this.
Omg,I need to have it! ^^
ohhh. i have been wanting petticoat for ages, and have been waiting for a dupe to be released. im sure petticoat will be repromoted eventually. do u think i should get this and settle for the lighter color, or should i wait until it eventually repromotes?
Honestly, you never know when MAC will repromote something. It could be in a few months or a few years. You might be able to find one up for swap on MakeupAlley, though – so maybe go that route?
ok thanks!! everyone ive asked basically said that itll get repromoted eventually, but i honestly didnt really know. lol, whenever i dont know something i ask you 🙂 i never thought of makeupalley, i dont really know why, lol 🙂 if i cant ifnd one, ill prob just pick this up. thanks!! 🙂
TBH, I’m not sure why people are confident it will be repromoted – MAC has tons of very, very popular items that never get repromoted. I’m not saying there’s no chance, I just don’t know why some are so confident it will be! 🙂 Maybe I’m just a cynic when it comes to MAC.
I saw Petticoat at my CCO within the last week!
Oh my gosh, which CCO did you go to?! I’ve been looking for petticoat everywhere, but the prices on ebay are insane and I don’t even know if its the real deal :/ the lowest price I found for it was 20 shipped but it was used. 🙁
i just got petticoat @ my cco in orlando, by sea world, last wk for $19.75. 🙂
aw, youre so lucky!
i live by only one CCO and they hardly have any mac items 😐
and i really want pettcoat, ive read so many great reviews on it
but never tried it so not willing to go on ebay and pay $40 for it :\
Petticoat is being re-released in an upcoming collection btw!
Eh…this one is a maybe. Might be too warm for me.
How does this compare to Stereo Rose msf?
Stereo Rose is coral, and this is pink, so I wouldn’t compare them 🙂
Is there any comparison to stereo rose?
Too light, much pinker, less coral.
Your skin looks amazing in this picture! What foundation and lip product are you wearing?
MUFE HD & MAC Gem of Roses!
Thanks!
Reminds me a lot of MAC Moon river.
This is so pretty, I have a feeling this is going to be the first thing to sell out from this collection.
This is on my new must-have list.
The MSFs look amazing on you! What brush do you use to apply your MSFs?
I used the 116 here!
I used the 116 here! 🙂

I really love this one. Can’t wait to see it in person.
It’s so pretty! 🙂
Thanks for the review.

but I probably won’t get it 🙁
Love all the colors! 🙂
Love it! Think I’m going to get all the MSFs from this collection.
So pretty but so glitterly, I think I will have to pass
