So the Mac Naturally Collection finally landed in the UK earlier this week,
does anyone ever feel with Mac collections that the want is better than the get?
I have 80% of the Naturally collection and yet I'm already day dreaming about the next release...
I need to get a life!
Mac Blonde MSF is a re-promote it was originally released in 2009 as part of the
Brunette, Blonde and Red Head collection so you will more than likely have seen it before.
As with the vast majority of Mac products this comes neatly presented in a black case
with a transparent disc centred in the lid - really handy for spotting what is inside.
I think the Mac packaging simplistic and practical, the sturdy casing protects the contents
all the while looking classic and suiting the majority of tastes.
I want to quickly explain what an MSF powder is as I get quite a few comments
asking exactly what an MSF is whenever I post about such product.
An MSF stands for Mineral Skin Finish and they come in two different variations,
MSF, which is the one I'm posting about today is a shimmer based product that can be utilised
in a number of ways depending on the shade - eyeshadow, blush or highlighter.
MSF Natural are face powders they have no shimmer and depending on the shade you purchase
they can be used as a setting powder, powder foundation or bronzer.
Mac Blonde MSF consists of four various complementary pink hues, that graduate from light to dark.
The shades are fairly cool in tone but usable, I have a fairly golden tone to my skin
and don't always find cooler shades flattering but used as a highlighter this works well.
I have noticed that the darker the skin tone the more cool in tone it appears.
The shades swirled together form a light toned cool pink shade that is rather pretty.
Blonde can be used as a blush or highlighter depending on your skin tone,
you can even use a small brush and apply each shade as individual blush or eye shades.
This is a shimmer based shade that has a slight metallic finish but no gritty glitter or such.
The pigmentation of Blonde surprised me, in one swipe it produced a high colour pay off
that applied smoothly and evenly without much fall out if any.
As I only received this today I have to tell you about my general experience with MSF's
of the same formulation in terms of wear.
I find MSF's when applied as either a blush or highlighter to last around six hours on my oily skin
but that is with use of a primer so the wear time is fairly average and doesn't really warrant
the price tag that accompanies the product sadly.
They are light and comfortable to wear and do produce a lovely glow,
that being said the majority of shades are easily duped.
Product Summary
