Well, that puts a different spin on things! I see that you're from the UK. Do you know if the 130 is LE?

No prob. At least the SS197 is easier to get in Germany than the 130

sadly we have been told by mac customer services that it is limited edition in the uk

did anybody say if this foundation is better for winter or summer? I have like 5 bottles of foundation in rotation so I just want to know if I should get it now or wait for the summer (and my tan)....

^Shadowy, I know this is off topic, but speaking of foundation I keep meaning to ask you what color you wear in MUFE Mat? I have always wanted to try theirs but no clue what I would wear. I have been running outside (I'm in FL with super SUN lol) so my face and arms are pretty tan right now and I am prob closer to NW30 than NW25 at the moment. Any suggestions? TIA!

Do you mean the Mat Velvet or the Duo Mat?

In Mat Velvet (liquid) I wear #35 , I think it's called Vanilla. This is a great foundation btw. The next one up (#40) is way too dark, even with a tan. It's prob better on NC35/37 skintone.

In Duo Mat which is a powder I wear #205. Though I got it in August when I was tanner (I'm prob full on NW30 in the summer) and now it's sorta dark on me. I've put it on hold till summer.

Hope this helped

I finally have the 130 in my hands! It's such a cute chubby little fella. Now I almost have the whole duo fiber brush family.
It's even smaller that what I imagined and I think it's going to be a great creme blush brush but tomorrow I'll try it out with the new mineralize foundation that finally arrived here. I can't wait to try them both

Use "vivaglam" for free shipping now till Monday at midnight EST.

I am so damn jealous of you who have the 130. Is it in stores already? If so, I need to get there tomorrow. I want that brush so bad. Feels like I've been waiting forever.

^My counter has it but she said she can't sell it until the 18th

 

[GlamYOURUs]

Thats so weird! My counter has had this collection since Feb 1st! And they have been selling it since then. I think its bc they didn't do well in sales BEFORE Spring Forecast, so they felt the need to put this collection on the floor to get more sales in.

I'm going to pro today so I will see if they will sell me the brush....and the foundation....lol

Today I applied the Mineralize foundation the first time with the 130 and was not happy with the results, it was streaky.

 

[PinkBasset]

Last night a saw a dream about this foundation. I went to my Mac counter to match with it and the MA put a half a container in to my right cheek and asked: how's that? I said maybe if we could blend it a bit...

So yes, I'm excited to try this one out!

Btw, I'm using the Enkore's new stippling brush, I think it is similar to this new Mac brush (small and dense), and it is great! Like many other his brushes, I'm really glad he offers those on his website.

I'm going to try that with this new foundation.

How'd it go, girl? I can't believe we are like the only ones who can't buy this brush and foundation LOL

I am gonna call the freestanding store Monday and see if they will sell it to me

It's a 45 min drive but I NEED that brush LOL

 

[bgajon]

I have to say... I'm not loving the brush/foundation combo. The brush makes the foundation go on streaky, I had to even it out with my fingers.
The foundation is nice... But it's not rocking my world. It does look natural and no major grease issues happened to my T zone but the coverage isn't really buildable IMHO. I guess I'll have to play with it more to see if I really like it.

I preordered it but they wouldn't sell it to me....oh well!

If you do get a chance though, preorder the brush! My pro store only got in 6 and they don't know when they will get new shipment on it.....

And the foundation shades are a little off...in Studio Sculpt i'm NC40 but in this new one i'm NC35....
