MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Semi Precious collection

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish semi precious collection has been very popular here in the US and sometime I just don't get the hype. When I decided that I wanted to get some of their blushers, my local MAC has sold out most of the colors, and I have to get 2 of them from the MAC counters in Nordstrom (well one of the Nordstrom is already out of all colors)... yes why the hype?

MAC's description of this collection of MSF:

A luxurious velvet-soft powder with a high-frost metallic finish. Smoothes on: adds buffed-up highlights to cheeks for an overall ultra-deluxe polish.

• By M·A·C.

I picked out 3 colors from the collection: Rose Quartz, Pearl, and Crystal Pink (Swatches from L to R):

 Rose Quartz is a lovely rose colored blush that in my opinion looks very alike with Chanel's blusher, but the center "nipple" makes this blush a lot shimmery than Chanel's... I think Rose Quartz is not the most pigmented, but this is exactly why I like this semi translucent natural glow on my cheeks.




MAC Mineralize Skinfinish semi precious in Pearl:

I think Pearl is one of the most popular colors as it is the first colors to be sold out on MAC's store and website. Pearl to me is not a blusher but more like a bronzer kind of color that give my face a nice natural glow... a good departure from the usual red/rosy toned blushers...

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish semi precious in Crystal Pink:

I like this the most out of the 3 MAC MSF I got this time. Its color is the blend between a subtle bronzer and a warm toned blushers, not too sheer but a nice subtle glow that work very well with my skintone. I picture myself using this the most for everyday look, rather than Rose Quartz which is a bit more dramatic for everyday look...
