MAC - Mineralize Foundation SPF15 Discussion

[Flaminbird]

Thanks purplerinne and good luck with your new job. It is amazing to think that we'd still be sitting here a year later with no job huh? I fully expected to have gotten a job like within 2-3 months of being laid off. I have an interview at FedEx on Friday so I hope it goes well. It's not something I really want to do but I have no choice now like you too. Good thing about Fedex is they don't lay people off and the benefits and pay are pretty good. I am on Tier 2 of my UE and it runs out in the next couple weeks then I would go on Tier 3. I don't believe there's a Tier 4 for VA though.

Also good luck TeresitaMC. I hope you find a job as well soon. On another note I went to Macy's this afternoon and asked for the nice lady to try EL Double wear and so far it's the best I've ever seen my skin look with foundation. I hope it works out for me

The quick use of this foundation is reminding me of my Eve Pearl salmon concealer which I got end of Nov/early Dec for half off. I dont use it very much at all (being unemp./home a lot!) and I've already hit pan and fear running out. Sigh. I would've loved to try this one out but will have to pass at this time.

I know being unemployed it's hard. Try to see things from a different point of view... you have time now and there are lots of awesome things you could use it to!! I always say things happen for a very good reason. You two are going to find a wonderful job that's going to make you happy!!

Congratulations on your new job!!!

Michelle: How did you feel the EL DW? Does it controls oils really well? I've been thinking to give the DW light a try...

You're welcome! I know, I want anything right now

I like my house and don't want to leave

Mine was like 35 weeks or so...but I missed 5 weeks of it as I started it late

It ended in January. I heard something about a 5 week extension here but can't find info on it so far! I just want/NEED something nowwwwwwwww

Can I join you?

lol

EDIT: Flaminbird: GOOD LUCK FRIDAY!!!

That's excellent!!! I hope you get something soon!

Thank you for your well wishes, you & Hypathya

Wow

It's a great one isn't it?

I've had mine since July or so but like I said, I am never going anywhere

But I only use it on special days/nights or long days like mall browsing, get-togethers, etc. And last month I spilt some...on carpet!

So this mineralize one would last me awhile, but there is stuff that would last even longer. Now I need a dupe for my EP

It felt pretty good but I didn't have enough time to evaluate how it's going to control oil yet because I had just gotten it done around 4:30pm here. Tomorrow I'll have all day to see and will let you know. I did have some oilyness by like 8 but she also used a couple different moisturizers on me then I use....a little bit heavier. I also don't think it had enough time to seep in before she applied the foundation.

Everything will be fine, believe me. Try going out more and taking a class on anything. You'll get to know new people and gain new skills. Tell them you're looking for a job, often people gets a job that way. Above all be confident and keep the faith.

I think it depends state by state on how far an extension will go. I know in CA we had to meet a certain percentage to get another extension (which we did)....

Fed Ex is a good company to work for....good luck!!! I will send good vibes your way....

Thank you!!! When I was unemployed and didn't have much spending money I would do projects I pushed aside bc I never had time...like reorganizing my shoes and taking pics and printing them and putting them in a photo album LOL that album now helps me find shoes in the morning hahahaha

I bought it but had to return both that and the brush. I found it underwhelming and didn't have very good coverage. How was your experiece with Revlon Colour Stay? I was thinking about trying that out next.

 

[lilibat]

The revlon colour stay has such light coverage there was no point to it for me. Not sure why people like it so much.

so i find that colourstay has quite heavy coverage! which is why i like it

the only thing i dislike is that it sets quite quickly so you have to work quickly with it! oh and it does have a weird paint like smell which is odd.

Thanks!! Are you using the regular one of the new SoftFlex? I've heard Softflex is not as good.

the newer one with softflex. i nevertried the older version!

 

[purplerinne]

Just tried F&B with this foundation...I reallly like the finish and coverage. I'll be picking up F&B soon hahaha

 

[meToo]

I am really liking this foundation. I find that it takes just the teeniest bit to give a nice coverage. I think it will last me a long time.

 

[jbshinyfuzzy]

how does this foundation do in warm weather? Do you think it will be ok to use in the summer, or should I wait and try it in the fall?

 

[Karuzela]

I got mine yesterday and I used it for the first time today!
I will mostly be home, cleaning for guest coming over for Easter, so it`s a good chance to try it out. I think it has medium coverage and it definitely won`t cover red blemishes of beauty marks, but if you want to you can layer it and ot covers more or you could just use concealer. I think NC20 was my best match, but I actually wanted something darker, anticipating getting some more color from spring sun, so I got NC25 and I like it, it still looks very natural.

I think I will post my first FOTD today to show the result :O

exactly!

all foundations work in all weather. it just depends on how your skin reacts in warmer weather.

yep. in my case i prefer creams in the summer because they're lighter on my skin
