0 MAC semi precious - Mineralized eyeshadows

Wanted to get all the eyeshadows @ first, but as i've overspent for this month, I had to limit myself to only 3. And it was a very hard time for me choosing ONLY 3 MES to buy. So after countless of swatching @ the counter until my whole hand and arm was full of glitters/shimmers, I settled on Blue sheen, Unsurpassable and Hint of Sapphire. If there are still stocks @ the end of the month (which I highly doubt there will be any left), I might go back for more... but otherwise, this is all the MES i'm gettin from semi precious for now.

Do note that as each and every Mineralized eyeshadow is hand baked, color might slightly differ even if they are the same MES, as the swirls and mixture of colors are different. And all MAC MES, can be used wet or dry. The color becomes more intense when used with a wet brush as can been seen from the above swatches. I especially love Blue sheen MES, as the blue is so beautifully dark smokey blue when it's wet. Definitely nothing close to any color that i have, even MAC deep truth cannot compare to this gem of a color. If u love smokey eyes, I think blue sheen is a must buy. I personally find that it's best to use a synthetic brush like the MAC 242 brush to apply if u wan the color to be more intense and without the glitter fallout. 

Will be skipping Fashion flower ........ cause am not attracted to the colors in the collection (I already own Lucky green e/s and alpha girl beauty powder from earlier collections). Money saved! Till the next collection!!! I seriously hafta save money.....

0 MAC semi precious - MSFs and Mineralized blushers

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.
