Product Brand and Name, Price (CDN), Where Purchased
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Semi Precious Goldstone, $ 33.50 CDN @ MAC.ca
Reason for Purchase
I was extremely excited about the Semi Precious collection and, consequently, ended up buying most of it.
Notable Features
This mineralize skinfinish is limited edition, released as part of the Semi Precious collection in July of 2011.
This MSF is designed slightly differently than normal MSFs - it’s not marbleized or done in stripes. There’s an outer ring of one color, and the centre is a blob of marbleized color meant to look like a crystal.
Packaging
This MSF comes in the standard black MAC compact.
The MSF will not fit into a Pro Palette.
Experience Using Product
Of the four MSFs released as part of the collection (I did buy all four), this is my favorite! It’s bizarre, but out of the four MSFs released, this was the one I thought I would use the least and was least excited about.
This MSF has a shimmery brown outer circle with a rosy pink, white and gold inner-circle. I like to wear the outer brown color as an eye shadow; I also like to blend the entire MSF together and use it as a blush. The color of the inner circle is so pretty when it’s swirled together - it looks like a very pretty coral-flesh color; I’m trying it out on my eyes as a shadow today! I’ve debated using this MSF as a bronzer, but I think it might make me look too shiny. Women with darker skin-tones may have better luck using it as a bronzer.
Of the four MSFs in this collection, Semi Precious Goldstone seems to be the smoothest to apply - it feels very silky. The shimmer in this MSF is also more toned down than the shimmer in the other three in the collection.
Here is a swatch of what the MSF looks like:
Left: Outer cirlce
Center: Inner circle
Right: Both shades blended
Would I Re-Purchase, Recommend, or Reject
This is a Limited Edition product, so I can’t re-purchase it. I would absolutely recommend this MSF to you - I'm in love with it!
You can get this MSF from the your local MAC counter or online. Remember that it’s Limited Edition, though - so once it’s gone, it’s gone!
