Remember not too long ago, I did a lil' retail therapy at MAC? One of the item which I bought was the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural (MSFN). This is an item which I have been wanting to try for the longest time after reading Tiffany's beauty blog which she uses this product in many of her FOTD posts. I love how glowy and healthy her skin always looks in those posts.

Anyway I have tried this product for abt 2 weeks now and I am pleasantly impressed by it to the point tht I am introducing it to frens and family ard me. I will do a FOTD with this product in another post. So for now I'll just list down the pros and cons.
What I like:
-The texture (Soft, fine & smooth)
-Glowy finish
-Doesn't look cakey on my face
-Doesn't accentuate my pores
-Pretty long lasting (Abt 6 -7 hours)
-Sets my MAC Studio Fix foundation & BB cream perfectly
-Fragrance free
-Doesn't clog my pores
What I dislike:
-Packaging
-It does get oily after about 4-5 hours
-It does get oily after about 4-5 hours
-Slightly messy (the powder stains the side of the packaging)
-No mirror
Bottom Line?
Worth Purchasing
Worth Purchasing
For now this the basic conclusion that I came to after 2 weeks of using it religiously everyday when I have make up on. The happiest note was that I did not break out from it. YAY! =)
I apply this using my ELF kabuki brush. I suggest using it lightly because a little product really goes a long way.
Another thing which I must mention is I had a really pleasant time at the MAC store in One Utama. The make up artist was really friendly and helped me alot with the products (since I'm still rookie to MAC products). My experience with the Sunway Pyramid outlet was totally horrendous and I will never visit tht store ever again given a choice.
P/S: Sorry for the photo quality. I don't have a camera at the moment and I think u gals would have to bear with me for now until I get one of my own.

I am also a rookie to the MAC makeupline. I have read blogs where others have had bad experiences at the MAC counter, but luckily, i havent ^_^
