Re: MAC Mineralize Powder Foundation Discussion
Guess what? I got my hands on the Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation/Loose!!!! I went to Nordie's because I heard a rumor that it was releasing with Heatherette tomorrow and they already had it out. I bought the Medium (I wear NC25 in SFF, NC200 in Hyper Real). Ingredients are as follows (for Medium anyway):
Active Ingredient: titanium dioxide 7.00%
Ingredients: Mica, Hordeum Distichon(barley) extract, triticum vulgare (wheat) germ oil, ascorbyl palmitate, tocopheryl acetate, squalane, methicone, potassium sorbate, chlorphenesin [+/- titanium dioxide, iron oxides, bismuth oxychloride, blue 1, carmine, chromium hydroxide green, chromium oxide greens, ferric ferrocyanide, manganese violet, ultramarines, yellow 5 lake, zinc oxide]
As soon as I got home I washed all my makeup off and put this on with the capplicator and so far I love it!!! It looks very natural, way more so than any other mineral powder I have tried and I thought that Medium would be too dark and I would have to exchange for Light Medium, but I think it will work out just fine. I also got to test most of the Heatherette stuff and now I will be buying way more.

I don't think so...I found out that Nordstrom's was doing a special release tomorrow from the MA at the Dillard's counter near me so I drove to Nordstrom's to make sure that was correct info. and they already had it out for sale with a sign saying that it was Nordstrom's Exclusive. The MA at Dillard's said they are still getting it on April 24th, but who knows when the date will be with all the crazy things happening lately.

Re: MAC Mineralize Powder Foundation Discussion
So, I happened to be at Nordie's today looking for a lighter foundation, my NC40 is just too dark right now since I still have my winter color. Well, lo and behold they had the mineral foundation. The MA applied it with the 132 brush and I loved it. It had enough coverage to even out my skintone and it's so light. Bought Medium + and the 132 brush which should also work with my sculpt and shape powder.
Yay! Good thing I wasn't interested in anything from Heatherette, cause I'm not buying anything for a while.

Re: MAC Mineralize Powder Foundation Discussion
I ordered it online - but not until i called 2 different MAC counters at diff. Nordies to ask details about color. Both gave me the exact same color details so that made it easy. They said its running darker than the solid Mac minerals.
For me before, the solid light was too light & the medium was too dark - so this new one sounds like it will be just right. I'll post as soon as i get it.

I meant 138. I shouldn't type after a shopping spree
I just tried it today myself and it is great. It has a very buildable coverage. I used to use BE a few years back and I really like this much better. BE looked a bit chalky on my combo skin.

Bismuth oxycholoride: NOOOO That's the ingredient that gives people rashes. It's a reason many people can't wear BE. I also read it's the ingredient that makes your skin shiny. Everyday minerals and a few others are proudly Bismuth free. Why Mac!!!! I'm sooo bummed.
I am confused also about the wheatgerm oil...
I've been looking forward to this one for sooo long

I just asked a MA when I bought Heatherette today. He called up Nordstrom for me and they said they're selling it exclusively at Nordstrom right now. Next week is when MAC stores will have it as well. MAC counters will not be carrying this. We'll see

the colors that are being released are:
light medium

medium plus
medium dark
medium deep
dark
deep dark
deeper dark
call down people. for some reason nordstrom came out with the collection earlier than anyone else, and they just don't have all the colors online yet. go to your local nordstrom and get your color. otherwise, just wait til it comes out at all locations. btw, these will only be permanent at stores.
