HK 90$ Sheer Mystery Powder Compact: worth it or not ?

Thread Starter 
Yeah basically, I wanted to know what you girls think about it. I mean I know people are saying:- yes I want it or -Hell no, never gonna pay 90$ for a single item... but I never bought a mystery powder. So for people who bought previous version of it: what are the major ingredients and what is nice or not with it.

And about the compact; it's on the same frame as the monogram one so:
Did the people who bought it have problem with it? Is it sturdy ? Does it scratch easily? Does the powder leak if it's in your purse? Opening/closing device is ok?
Did the mystery powder broke someone out? You like it?

You know.. all info you have about that product. I mean for the price it's an investment. I need to know more about that before I buy it or not.
Thanks all

Re: HK 90$ Sheer Mystery Powder Compact: worth it or not ?

personally, i would be interested in buying this mystery powder. you know to try a new product from mac. but unfortunately it's severely overpriced and i can't imagine it's that amazing. but considering i've never tried it i really can't say.

I think the compact is geared more towards serious HK and MAC collectors. Sure it's great makeup, but they're counting on the collectors buying the kitty kouture collection.

I'm definitely getting it, but not really to use. I love HK and MAC, and this is just a great representation of the two. Later.

Re: HK 90$ Sheer Mystery Powder Compact: worth it or not ?

I have no problem spending money on something if I really like it(even if I'll never use it & only buy it to keep & admire it) When I first heard about the compact I was totally planning on getting it, but I don't like what they have done with HK's face(her eyes & nose) so I'l be passing. If I really liked it I would even have spent more than $90

Re: HK 90$ Sheer Mystery Powder Compact: worth it or not ?

But what about the product itself, aside from the price? Is the mystery powder something like HD finishing powder or? with what would you compare it ? Is it a mainly silica powder thing like some others out there ? whole other thing? Useful ? Please tell me it's not glittery...

Re: HK 90$ Sheer Mystery Powder Compact: worth it or not ?

If you are buying it just for the compact I would say yes...If you are buying it for the product...NO...there is no powder worth $90 IMO unless it is guaranteed to make me look 10-20 years younger...with that being said...it is not on my buy list....

I really don't think the powder is anything special. I have it from the stylistics collection & never use it...it was just bigger then.

Re: HK 90$ Sheer Mystery Powder Compact: worth it or not ?

i was out on new years and i needed to use some powder to curb the shine and a friend let me use hers, which she said was mystery powder from mac (i dont know from which collection). it did give me a nice finish, but i dont remember it being different from any other good quality face powder i've used. if you spend the money, i think it has to be more about the collector's aspect than the product - which i cant fault - we all love to collect makeup in one way or another.

Re: HK 90$ Sheer Mystery Powder Compact: worth it or not ?

i couldn't even pay that much for the compact because if i were to drop it and break it somehow, i'd wanna jump off a curb knowing i spent 90 on it. oh lordy lord.

Re: HK 90$ Sheer Mystery Powder Compact: worth it or not ?

apparently the mystery powder is ALOT smaller than previously, so its even more wasted money.

seriously with $90 u could find something ALOT more special. if u want something to make ur skin look good and u have $90 spare why not spend it on skincare product? if you just want a powder..i cant imagine its any better than any of the other powders mac does.

they are only charging $90 for the casing not the powder.


AND how scared would you be to use it after paying $90 for a face powder!? i saved up for about a year to buy a louis vuitton bag and once id been to louis vuitton and bought it...iv been to scared to use it incase i get it dirty o or damage it!! so it was a total waste lol. not exactly the same thing but stilll

Re: HK 90$ Sheer Mystery Powder Compact: worth it or not ?

Not on your life is it worth it. There is nothing mysterious about the powder. I got sucked into getting one of the Stylistics one and it was a plain old face powder. Im sure Claire's or Target has something that looks just like the compact, but without 'real' swarovski crystals. I guess youre paying for the crystals. Sorry Mac, but you're out of your freaking mind selling any piece of makeup for $90.

Re: HK 90$ Sheer Mystery Powder Compact: worth it or not ?

I think I'm in the minority here, but I'll probably end up buying it. I'm a sucker for all things Swarovski... I compromised with myself though and decided I could either buy the Rock & Republic Swarovski compact ($225), or this one. And this one's winning by a (surprisingly small) margin.

I'm ridiculous though.

Re: HK 90$ Sheer Mystery Powder Compact: worth it or not ?

Yes if you're a serious collector of Hello Kitty and/or MAC! And for a lot of people on here they're both XD. But yeah the product itself is no big deal.

Can you depot the original powder and put in your other powders when you run out? I would imagine that you can since it's $90.

Not in any way, shape, or form is this compact worth $90.

If you've got $90 to spend on a compact, count yourself lucky and put it in an ING or Chase account that will match the amount.

LOLlerskates. I'm with MissResha on this topic though. I'm not even interested in beauty powders as product, and I'm not into HK like that either, so...*yawn*

i would expect it to have a REAL kitty on there that actually SAYS hello for that price! it is very beautiful though. i know fancy compacts are expensive, but because i already plan on spending like $300 on this collection i cannot do the compact lol.

Sure, in some cases, but "worth" and income are all relative.

Of course they are! In my opinion, as asked for by the OP, it is not worth (emotionally or monetarily) $90. And in this economy, in uncertain times when no job is really safe, it would be better, in my opinion, to save that money than spend it on crystals and powder.


....which just means I'm leaving more HK for everyone else with surplus descretionary income and rock-solid jobs to buy.

Re: HK 90$ Sheer Mystery Powder Compact: worth it or not ?

I was on the fence for a while about buying it. But after seeing pics I just can't resist...got to have it! I guess its the hk lover and collector ( I guess I am, I just love getting more and more hk things ever since I was little) in me talking. I don't think I could even carry it around with me in fear of damaging it somehow, so it just sit and be pretty at home as another collector's item. Now as for the powder I honestly don't think its going to match my skin too well since the color selection is so minimal.
