Aw, that sucks! I haven't had any problems with mine and it's been 3 weeks. I hope it's not the foundation causing problems for you! Maybe the recent warm weather? I know I've been beading a bit more than a month ago b/c of the balmy temperatures!

Actually here in Seattle the weather has stunk; we had snow last Friday and we have had ONE day of over-60 degree weather. As far as the foundation goes, do you use a foundation primer? (my mom uses BareMinerals and the people at ULTA told her to get the Smashbox primer) Also what I find helps, because I get the bumps too, is using a gentle face scrub (mine is a discontinued one from B&BW) every night after I wash my face, it really helps out to not only get all the makeup off but to bring oil up to the surface.

dresscamp was only a harvey nicks exclusive... usually exclusives dont end up online apart from ones like heatherette and mcqueen, last years novel twist wasnt online.
The mineral foundation is out in may as we usually get collections from 2 weeks to a month later than the US

no problem

but if you go to Dubai there might be a big chance it will have sold out... there was apparently only 22 of each item available, as its such a limited collection

Thanks for your advice! I do use Smashbox's Photo Finish primer and I also use a face scrub every other day. I don't know what is going on but I am still going to continue to wear the mineralize loose. Maybe it is the weather. It has been really strange!

i was thinking of getting this, but for $40 CDN i think i'm gonna pass. i recently got a BE starter kit so i'm gonna use that up first before i spend more money on foundation

Yeah, it is pretty steep, especially if you just got something similar. Tell us what you think of the BE stuff tho - I'd love to hear what you think of it compared to the Mineralize Loose.

I got this and was extremely disappointed. I bought it hoping for the glow I got with MSF natural, but I didn't. I returned it.

luckyme · 04-26-2008, 04:15 PM #**263** (**permalink**)

I got this and love it. It is the closest thing I have used to making my skin looked airbrushed and flawless.

I agree that you it is so much easier to use to pour it into a little dish or somthing before you apply because my first application was just very average but second application I was able to swirl my brush (kabuki) around in it. I looked at it in the mirror after about 4 hours and it looked just applied.

Of course, my major disappointment is that I bought it in Light and her that may be limited or discontinued. I hope that I will at least be able to buy it online.

It's so weird b/c I know other people got a great glow from the MSFN's but I got better results from Mineralize loose!

At least we've found products we love and work well with our skin.

When I looked on the MAC website it didn't have a LE triangle next to the light shade so it looks like it will always be available on line.

The same thing has been happening to me. I was really hoping that it was not this foundation but I can't think of what else it could be. Such a bummer!

I know! Seriously. I always use foundation. I use Mineralize Satin Finish or Studio Fix Liquid, Cover Girl Foundation, NYC Loose face powder translucent, but once I started to use the Mineralized skin finish loose..I have little tiny bumps everywhere.. WTH!?! It dosent look like pimples just like maybe iritated pores acting up or something.. So I dont use it anymore. I dont care how great the finish is..Its just not sexy when you have bumps under that Great finish. haha

For those of you who are breaking out...do you know if you're sensitive to bismuth?

I have never had a know allergy/sensitivity to it but it could be a definate possibility. I am going to have to look into that. Thanks for the advice!

thewickedstyle · 04-28-2008, 08:15 PM #**272** (**permalink**)

I broke out really badly. Nothing else MAC has ever bothered me but I am sensitive to a lot of past d/s foundations. Not sure if bismuth was the common denominator but wow did I break out. I generally have very good skin.

goink · 04-28-2008, 10:00 PM #**273** (**permalink**)

I've had a nasty allergic reaction to Mineral powder foundation before. My skin was red, swollen and bumpy. Now I'm scared to try MAC's.
Thanks for all the reviews =)
I'll stick to my Studio Fix Fluid.
