MAC Tropical Taboo Mineralize Skin Finishes – Swatches & Review

Purchased By Me
Hello again! I completely forgot I had taken these photos at the beginning of the month and they have been sitting on my camera ever since. MAC recently came out with their Tropical Taboo collection and I pretty much went crazy. They released some gorgeous new mineralized blushes, lipsticks, and of course my all time favorite product – Mineralize Skinfinishes. MSF’s are so universal and absolutely stunning! Depending on the color, you can use them as blush, bronzer, highlight, touch ups.. even eyeshadow!

So within the collection, they released Soft & Gentle & Gold Deposit (Which are both permanent) and then the limited edition shades include Rio, Lust & Adored.  All come in a fairly large compact (0.35oz) and are all marbled differently. Each one is truly unique and all have different patterns so you may get more of one shade than the other.  These are all fairly shimmery, so if that’s not your thing I would recommend staying away from them. While they do pack a ton of color, some can be a bit chalky so keep that in mind as well. 
Gold Deposit – Golden Bronze. A permanent shade from MAC. I don’t know if I would recommend using this as an all over bronzer unless you love a ton of shimmer on your face.  I suggest having a light hand and just dusting this on your cheekbones for a nice summer glow. This would even make a really gorgeous eyeshadow! 
Soft & Gentle – I already had this in my collection, so there was no need for me to purchase another one. You can see I have used this to death. Soft & Gentle is a beautiful shimmery champagne that is perfect for highlighting. 
Rio (Limited Edition) – Bronze with light pink veining. I was skeptical when I first purchased this, but as soon as I swirled the two colors together, it created a gorgeous neutral shade that will be awesome to wear in the fall time! 
Lust (Limited Edition) – Berry shade with light pink veining and gold shimmer. I have been using this as a blush and loving it! 
Adored (Limited Edition) – Coral with light beige veining. This was a bit chalky for me. I’ve been using it as a subtle blush, but because I have so much light beige veining it doesn’t really show up very well. 
Swatches
Overall, I can’t get enough of MSF’s! I have a HUGE collection of them and I know it will probably take me 50 years to go through them all. I just love how universal and unique they are. 
Do you own any Mineralize Skinfinishes from MAC? Which ones are your faves?

    LOVE – I wish I had grabbed some of the LEs, but I guess it’s okay as some of the ones I do want are permanent! πŸ™‚
