The highly anticipated Semi precious (it's a major major key collection for MAC ) was finally launched today in my country, and being the blush addict that I am I bought all the msfs and all the mineralized blushers. I initially wanted to buy ALL the Mineralized eyeshadows, but alas, I've overspent this month, and need to budget myself.
Anyway, this collection is named semi precious because it is inspired by 4 semi precious stones, Pyrite aka fool's gold ( a metalic goldish looking mineral), Bronzite, Black tourmaline and lepedorite. So yep, the both the MSFs and MES are extremely glittery. So if u like glitters, u'll probably love this collection. The mineralized blushers are more of a matte finish though, so if u don't like glitters, you still can get the mineralized blushers. They are way much less shimmery than the regular mineralize blushers. Their texture sorta reminds me of the Mineralized blushers from Fabulous Felines.
Without further ado, here's pics and swatches of the MSFs and mineralized blushers which i bought. All pics are taken without flash.

Amongst all the msfs, Rose quartz seems to look the prettiest in the pan and I have a feeling this MSF will be one of the first ones to be sold out. And as for the mineralized blushers, I think warmth of coral seems really pretty. Looks a lot like My Highland honey blush from A tartan tale, but with more color pay off.
