Review: MAC Semi Precious

[msperulovesxxoxo]

Can I use Mac Mineralize Charged water to set my makeup if I want a matte look?

Or is it only meant for dewy finishes? I would much appreciate your help. (=

[skinnygurL89]

gosh your skin looks soo flawless i'm so jealous <3

[vampiregeek995]

I love the skinfinish. It's brilliant

[animythfameEm]

I searched one of the marbleized eyeshadows in the store and it was not pigmented at all! I was very disappointed. I loved your review and I have been watching your videos for a while and always forget to sub. I am now:)

[ohpineapples]

Ahwww I really Love your glasses !! Where did you get them?? Smiles!

[superara1]

the blush should have been called warmth of orange because mine is in no way coral, theres no pink veining in mine so maybe thats why its just straight up orange/tan on my skin, awful.xx

[happygina7]

i LOVE your new glasses! they look so good on you!

[LisaFreemontStreet]

Hmmm. I am wondering if the green in that second skin finish would work well for someone who has redness in their cheeks. It seems as though it would help balance that out. What say you?

[angelinfishnets]

@LisaFreemontStreet I have the rose quartz one which has green in the centre and I have red patches on my cheeks that normally show up worse when I have blush on unless I conceal them like crazy but I'm having no problems using this MSF as a blush

[HeyitsAlyzza123]

I have a question is Feeling Flush matte or shimmery ?

[SLAMSwan]

I like your frames!

[Nigel1006]

love this pair of glasses!!!! they shoe more of your eye makeup too

[imjusssaying]

I have a questionnn..

i have 70 dollars to spend and im going to mac to spend itt.

what products should i get?? not just from this collectionn..

i don't like msfs or the foundation... i already have the 187 brush a blush brush, a foundation brush, and a concelear brushh..

any suggestionss? i have green/hazel eyes cool pale skin, and blonde hairr.

anny suggestions?!!

[anniephunt]

@imjusssaying i'm almost the same coloring as you (my hair ibordering on brown), and i would for sure get 4 products. i'd say get 'Naked Lunch' Eye Shadow, because it's honestly the BEST all over lid color for fair skin, warm or cool toned. i'd also say to get 'Hue' lipstick, because it's the most natural looking glaze of color on your lips. it's perfect! i'd also get 'Dame' Blush, and 'Macroviolet' fluidline. because it's purple, it'll really bring out your eye color! hope this helped!

[imjusssaying]

@anniephunt alrightt thanks! (:

[happygina7]

@imjusssaying the classics are always nice,painterly paint pot is what i bought as my first prouduct and i love it!

[imjusssaying]

snazzzy glassess.

[Jennybear2003]

I paused the video because I thought that beeping was outside! lol :)

[LollySummerCrush]

could you please do a review on the body shop honey bronze collection thx :)

[SovereignBlonde]

Love the new eyeglasses!! Very meow!

[chowellesq]

My Faux Gold had no lime either. Its still really pretty though.

[joannaa25]

groovy glasses!

[ZaraBhutta]

is the shimmer in the mineralize skinfinishes like the soft and gentle skinfinish?

[Kaykayrose26]

aww its disappointing to hear that the mineralized blushes aren't very shimmery, i picked up a mineralized blush from a cco and fell in love with the color and the beautiful glow it gave me from the shimmer!!

[Tanguay1]

New glasses?

[cranberrymakeup]

the mineralized charged water wont help with circles or anything right?

[ILoveSparkles1000]

@pinkiecharm my main question was if the set was worth $36 and also about the girl meets pearl product.

[pinkiecharm]

@ILoveSparkles1000 If you don't have the products then I think it's worth it to try them out without committing yourself to their full-sizes at their full-size prices. I will be doing a review on Girl Meets Pearl VERY soon. I pinkie promise!

[Skyebright1]

I want blue sheen, dark indulgence, smoked ruby and rare find when they come out in Australia!

[faeriesmak]

So far I have the MSF's in Pearl and Rose Quartz. I really like the pearl one as a blush. I have the Crystal Pink one coming and also the Golden Gaze shadow. I can't wait to try the shadow!

[Saffron3]

I have to get my hands on Musky Amethyst...that may be my color this fall!

[MsFarzee]

pretty new glasses

[darkangel7545]

In alot of these products mac looks like it aimed for pretty in the pan as opposed to pretty when its actually worn.

[thebeatlesfan5000]

can you do a review on the 'they're real!' mascara by benefit ? :)

[MeLeigha43770]

Did mac send this to you

[mydenmel]

i want to get them all but dont have that big budget so probably ill be getting the goldstone msf/crystal pink and the pressed amber blush IF they are not goin be sold out =( =)

[librakitten16]

I got Warmth of Coral and it is really pretty, such a natural glowy look. I also have the Mineralize Skinfinish in Rose Quartz which is the one you don't have but it's really pretty, a nice subtle pink shimmery colour. And I have Gem of Roses and I really like it, so wearable and pretty. I'm glad I didn't get any of the shadows, I've heard so many people say they are disappointing. Great review hun!

[xxviciousbeautyxx]

I personally think MAC comes out with waaay to many collections. I bought a couple of the shadows just because they looked really pretty in the packaging but I really dislike them when I actually use it. Like others say, the colors just aren't that pigmented and some of the colors look strange when blended. I seriously love a lot of cheaper shadows including Wet N Wild better than MAC now because I've had so many not so great shadows from them now.

[pinkiecharm]

@xxviciousbeautyxx I agree completely. I think MAC comes out with more collections more often than any other brand. *lol*

[ohpineapples]

@xxviciousbeautyxx I'm so glad you posted this. Do you know of a really good Pigmented Matte Black and Brown eyeshadow? I've been using them alot lately, but none seem to be very pigmented. I keep swiping my brush in my eyeshadows way to much for what I need. Do you know of a good Matte Black and brown eyeshadow? I LUV matte, but if you know of one that has a tad shimmer to it then that's ok. Mattes better tho : )))) Thank you !!! Smiles!

[redrocker420]

those glasses are ginormous irene! they go halfway down your face!

[sheenknudsa]

Loved how you said semi-precious at the end! Gollum *cough* Gollum... LMAO

[sheenknudsa]

Hey Irene! Love your videos! You're the only beauty guru I actually trust! Can you do a makeup collection video? Especially focusing on the storage and organization of it? I need ideas! :)

[Glamaphonic26]

you are one of the only gurus that I trust when they do reviews. so thanks for being awesome

[heatheroakleyy]

I defs need to check out that collection! it looks nifty! :) thanks Irene!

[makeupgeekstunner]

I love your new glasses!

[phantomfromhell5]

I went today and got Quartz fusion and Smoked ruby. I was going to get Blue sheen but im glad i swatched it before I got it because it was beautiful in the pan but swatched all splotchy. But i'm happy with what I got :)

[missravenashley]

the more i look at ya, the more i like those new glasses :D

[sonjiya]

faux gold is just so lovely! hope you enjoy it! :)

[Kappuchin0ful]

love the glasses! they look perfectly sassy!

[ILoveSparkles1000]

Can you do a review on Benefits Finding Mr.Bright's MANual? I am condisdering buying it but not sure if its any good. Thanks:)

[pinkiecharm]

@ILoveSparkles1000 What's funny is that I already have all but one of the items with that set. *lol* Did you have a question about something specific?  I've already reviewed most, if not all, of the items.

[missnylorac]

could u review the jemma kidd light as air foundation? thankss :)

[ilve2sing]

i got rose quartz skin finish it is not bronzey at all it might work better for u!

[shadowylady25]

I love your videos! Your reviews seem so genuine and that is much appreciated by me!

[cserannie80]

that last "semi precious - lord of the ring style" pronunciation freaked me out! Ok I was chatting during the video, I was not pay attention to every word you said... so this is a good way to get the attention. Next time shout :)

[spaceysno1girl]

I ordered gem of roses and warmth of coral and enjoyed your review x

[spaceysno1girl]

You could do a giveaway with the items you dont use or sell them via paypal and donate the money to charity x

[sometzge]

your glasses bring out the green eyes monster in me...ack, i need, i need

[moriran2]

oh, blue sheen looks gorgeous O.o and i really want golden gaze

[biggsheba1]

I love and appreciate how much you put into these reviews so much! Thank you!

[HauteBeautyGirl]

I actually really liked how Jade's Fortune swatched. I like the green. I might buy that and Gem of Roses.

[Lamony5775]

Could you make a video of all your make up? like a make up collection video :)

[starpower101]

I love the glasses and thankyou for this video you have made me know what I am going to buy from it :)

[makeuplover122700]

could you wear the musky amethyst lipstick in a future video?

[secretagentspy]

Sweet new glasses!

[CoolInOlympia]

Hey! New glasses! Fun!

[kmm24556748]

I love how your reviews are all super thorough!

[charchar0607]

you may have mentioned this already (if you have I apologize!)

but I was wondering where you got your glasses from - I've been wanting something 'funky' for myself for a while now without much luck :(

[spaceworriorrobot]

glasses = awesomeness

[DanielleDBeauty]

I am very fair like you and I picked up the Semi Precious Rose Quartz MSF yesterday, the one you didn't have. I think it's perfect for fair skin. The outer ring makes a beautiful pink blush while the inner ring is perfect for highlight.

[VintageCharms]

Hey, if you don't want some of those blushes I'll be more than happy to take them off your hands =)

[sabrinav]

I honnestly don't like the shadows that much... But I bought Geo pink lipgloss and Gem roses cremesheen, they look geooorgous 2gether.

[rebelsbeautycorner]

youre a bit late ;) Im used to you being the first video I see. anyway love that you always give great information

[Sbaston986]

your amazing :D

[liza6458]

I always enjoy your reviews of mac collections as I feel I can be sure of your honest opinion! xxx :0)

[Ruby8541]

You make such great reviews! You explain things so clearly! LOVE your videos!

[xodoubledxo]

why didn't you pick up rose quartz, the other msf?

[bellyrockin]

The thing I particularly don't like about the charged water (although I've never actually tried it) is the price!

[prittae]

how in the world do you organise and store your makeup? i respect you SO much. please do a video on storage ideas. :)

[CrystalMist006]

@prittae That's a great idea! Not like a makeup collection (which I wouldn't mind seeing that lol) but storage tips would be amazing! :)

[DelytefulSpeaks]

love the swatches at the end.. very helpful! Thank you

[Klutzyduncan]

Thanks for sharing!! Now im off to make my choices lol I know im a little late this collection, but nothing REALLY caught my eye .. esp cause I got almost everything from Quite Cute (and something from Surf and Flower coll.) Lol

[SolarEyes86]

Awesome!!!

[Fashion442008]

Can you do a review on the mac studio careblend powder please :)

[WendyOMGWar]

Are those Tiffany's glasses =D

I swear I saw a pair of glasses just like that!

I think they look very nice on you :3

Also, I'm going to die, can you post your makeup collection?

[sheenknudsa]

Your reviews have saved me so much time and money! Your always spot on and honest! Thanks for all you do! :)

[supersoap4]

Fall fall fall!! :) <3

[periwi]

irene!!! now i have to go buy golden gaze, its gorgeous. thank you for your honest reviews, you have helped me save a lot of money. love the new glasses by the way!

[christyraverful]

nice glasses ;) lol

[ryryzbeauty]

you must have tons of cosmetics

[xfallen69angelx]

i wish you would be some reviews on ELF stuff. that would be nice :)

[hathor2]

love the new frames! ^_^

[asdfghjennifervasko]

your new glasses are too cute!

[gabbi4babe]

ur glasses are adorable

[meadowfrance]

I like the new glasses but I loved the old ones on you.

[PinkCookie62]

Great review darling. I really got a laugh over the smoke alarm. Believe it or not I went back 2 c that bit again. Love all the vids hun. : D

[beautybeam]

Your glasses make you look older then you are :/

[citylights170]

Shnazy glasses!

[beautybeam]

Semi-Precious Pearl looks like a boob and a nipple xD

[AroraLaurialis]

ssssemi-preciousssssss

[mizzmonarch1]

Auwsome new glasses, what brand are they? looking for bigger cat eye style glasses myself;]

[fantabulous109]

Im actually semi excited for this stuff!

[GeminiAGogo]

I love your necklace! Where did you get it? :)

[pinkishhh]

Sooo since you said you can't wear that pinky blush, can i have it!?!?

Juuuuuuust saying! Hahahaha :)

[Charito29NP]

Thanks, Irene! Very helpful! I went on the Laura Geller website like you recommended and looked at those blushes that you showed on the new stuff video. Before I commit, do any of those 2 blushes resemble stereo rose? I had it 5 years ago, wore it everyday for years but didn't get to buy it this time around ;( any thoughts?

Thanks again, you're awesome! Btw, I love that eyeshadow you're wearing in this video, complements you well

[AznCutiieJ]

but they just didn't stand out to me in the store! ): i really loved pearl & rose quartz but all they were to me were highlighters. sighs

i liked the blushes though, very smooth and soft focus like when they're blended out! so HD. haha i thought the pink one would look good on you with a VERY light application~ musky amethyst is gorgeous in the tube! i really liked the charged water tbh, it smelt good to me and i just loved the refreshment it gave my face! i might go get it. just hate spending!

[Purrrsuasive1]

LOVE this collection!! Irene...could you please sell the makeup you don't end up using on Ebay? If you had an Ebay account we could buy from you and trust we are getting originals, not dupes! Hope you and your family are doing well!! XOXO

[pinkiecharm]

@Purrrsuasive1 Ebay doesn't allow the sale of used makeup anymore, I think due to sanitary reasons or something. Also, I don't sell products I didn't buy. I'm sorry.

[Purrrsuasive1]

@pinkiecharm I personally sell on Ebay and recently sold a gently used Lancome Genifique. I didn't know used was not allowed. I wouldn't want to buy used makeup either. I was referring to the unused makeup. It's really easy to sell on Ebay. I click sell and click some more and bam, it's up for sale :)

[pinkiecharm]

@Purrrsuasive1 Well the items are used so I'd have to sell them as such. I have no problems buying (or selling) very gently used makeup. It's a great way for someone to buy something they might not have access to otherwise. I've sold on Ebay in the past-it is really easy. And thanks. :)

[MissLav20]

@Purrrsuasive1 maybe she could have a blog sale! Thats what others do when they barely use a product and they dont like it!

[Purrrsuasive1]

@MissLav20 Or that too :))

[peacebone2010]

the mineralized eye shadows looked more like planets lol. they should do a space collection.

[AznCutiieJ]

i just went to go check out the collection for the things i was thinking of buying. i ended up really liking other things than what i thought i would. i loved blue sheen and golden gaze looking at blog posts but then i found dupes so easily! blue sheen is nothing special. hard candy's mineralized e/s is about the same and so was the wet&wild trio in i got good jeans. duped golden gaze in the same trio by putting a base underneath before applying the gold. i really wanted to love the MSF's..

[hellokitty2656]

Which msf is a good warm highlight for darker skin tones? ;)

[lampshade403]

Irene, you're beautiful, I'm loving the glasses!

[MsGookette]

i want rare find!!!!

[AAAngeloGomez]

OMG I LOVE YOUR GLASSES

[ykhearts]

I absolutely love your glasses!! They frame your face so nicely. You look fabulous :)

[racheladoresbeauty]

this is such a great review luv it!

[08oceanview]

I will agree... Thanks for such great hauls and reviews!!!

[BumbleBee5296]

I love your videos for reviews (: keep doing the great job! (btw have you tried stila's smudge pot in kitten, if yes, do you think its worth the money?)

[xTheGirlNextDoor34x]

Im addicted to beauty and you're my dealer

[pinkiecharm]

@xTheGirlNextDoor34x LOL!  You win for the most awesome comment EVER. :)

[Skyebright1]

@xTheGirlNextDoor34x lol she is my heroin/heroine!

[ShaoPing09]

This is such an awesome collection! I was planning to go shopping with one of my friends to pick up some semi precious items but then realized that I was going to still be away on vacation so we couldn't go shopping together :( I could buy the stuff in Ontario (where I am now) but it's so much more expensive then where I live so it's not worth it

[Jilliesays]

Those glasses remind me of Adrian in the first Rocky movie, haha.

They look awesome!

[jessjamify]

Omg! Must have it all! But especially that musky amethyst lipstick! Everytime I see that lipstick, my heart skips a few beats

[habbobeyond]

I love your reviews sooo much, they're put together so well and very informative!

[internetchick]

The only must haves for me were Dark Indulgence, Smoked Ruby, and Golden Gaze (I bought all three).

[widdleweindeer1st]

mmm love the glassses! new?:)

[misstaylormoon]

I'm not sure if this is worth the money.. I really like the dark purple lipstick though. Not sure if i could pull it off, haha! ;)

[TheGlamdollxx]

why dont you swatch these in the video?

[pinkiecharm]

@TheGlamdollxx I don't swatch them while I'm recording because it's too time-consuming. The video's already 20 minutes and spending time swatching would add more time to that. It's easier and less time-consuming to post the pictures at the end.

[TheGlamdollxx]

@pinkiecharm oh ok i understand, that makes sense I know that when i film the swatches do take up a lot of time I think I will do the same and just put pictures at the end . Thanks for replying :)

[botancandyluver]

do u always wear ur hair up or just in videos? cuz i always wear my hair up and my hairdresser tells me its doing bad stuff to my roots

[ChefCaffy]

Thank you Pinkie! for doing this review Im looking forward to it and thanks for taking the time to show us! xoxo

[GabriellaGlamour215]

your effin glasses are rrraaaaaad! hahahaha love themmmm

[Kortneiii]

I love the Smeagol "preciousssss" at the end LOL. Pinkiecharm of the Shire.

[flossybutt25]

*sigh* I want those just look at. ^^

[ShortieBaddAllTheWay]

Glasses. Please take them off. Lolz. Lbvvs

[heeter97]

You do the best swatches of anyone I've seen on youtube! I think the photos at the end work so much better than swatching on video. Thanks so much for the review! Love the new glasses by the way :)

[ellesprettyinpink]

Love your dainty necklace!!

Obviously Johnlovesbridge is a moron.

[tennis5611]

Do you recommend warmth of coral for fair girls.

[mkp993]

golden gaze is so pittsburgh! black and gold <3

[beautyluver95]

Definitely want Gem of Roses!

[taymarie6]

i love your glasses, they look great on you!

[johnlovesbridge]

Your lipstick looks great, but I have to admit your eyeshadow looks repugnant. It is the color; a smeary, muddy mess like when you mix a lot of paint together. Basically blue black mud.

[pinkiecharm]

@johnlovesbridge "Repugnant?" o.O

"Blue black mud?" That's interesting considering it isn't blue eye shadow.

[Marshmelia]

@pinkiecharm lol this is too funny. I think you are awesome and I am thankful for your honest reviews. Sometimes I read people's comments and they just don't make any sense and just want to say mean things.

[MsRubyScarlet]

@pinkiecharm Repugnant means distasteful, however i personally find your eyeshadow rather lovely. great review by the way!

[Cuti3PandaX]

@pinkiecharm LOL he saw the reflection of your glasses

[Iinoratheexplorer]

@johnlovesbridge She even said what color she is wearing, it has no blue in it. Her lip color is very pretty but her shadow is not repugnant, it's very simple compared to some of her other looks. Pay attention John.

[GeminiAGogo]

@johnlovesbridge: The blue that you're seeing is the glare from the glasses, not her eyeshadow

[PencilsNPencils]

@johnlovesbridge it seems bronzy, taupey, and neutral. not blue black mud...?

[andreajb14]

This may sound stupid but what are the mineralize skin finishes used for? I want to purchase one but i dont know what they are used for

[bitchstolemycupcake]

@andreajb14 Highlighting your face like ur cheek bones, browbone, noce or anywhere where you want a healthy shine.

[haleybrocks29]

I can always count on you to make a review on anything and everything I might be purchasing. Thank you so much! You are my favorite person to watch on YouTube! Keep it up :)

Lots of love,

Haley

[ojnsa]

Cute glasses, where did you get them?

[haleybrocks29]

Loving the glasses :)

[KeepingUpWith207]

i was so excited for this collection, but now i'm kinda disappointed with the mineralize skinfinishes :( still waiting for a mac collection to WOW me

[yankeegirl19]

this is going to sound quite weird... but your teeth look amazing! have you done anything different?

[tennis5611]

I was wondering if you have a review on the body bakery body butter stick? Thank you!

[thecrazyfilipino1]

Great Vid!! I really like the new glasses btw :))

[Nutzn12]

Will you do a video with your hair down?:)

[pinkiecharm]

@Nutzn12 Eventually. ;)

[PotatoKL]

Thank you soo much!

[xbabysparksxX]

the skinfinishes come with .13 less oz then normal msfs....

[17cnacna]

someone on specktra pointed out that the msfs looked like nipples. After that, i couldn't bring myself to like them lol

[kaitlin153571]

Your glasses are very unique, but you definitely pull them off beautifully! Thanks for the amazing review! :D

[pinkiecharm]

@viennagarcia02 It really just depends on which you prefer, the new style or the original. These are limited edition so if you want one, now's the time to get it. *lol* I do like these but for me they're too intense. However, I think on darker skin tones that they would look lovely. Semi Precious Goldstone or either Soft & Gentle or Gold Deposit would be quite pretty on golden-beige skin.

[renaliciousdelicious]

do you think that there is a good msf for an nw50 kinda girl if i want to use it as a highlighter? ha thanks! i hope you respond!!

[RedHotMuse12]

How can you afford so many MAC products????? I'm jealous :/
