The review: Mac stereo rose

It seems like Mac Stereo Rose Mineralize skinfinsh has been everywhere ever since it's initial launch just less than 10 years ago. It's been hyped up on nearly every major beauty blog from here to Timbuktu, and I can certainly see why. But here's the problem; it's one of those damn limited edition special hero products. 

After being temporarily released in several collections in the past few years, it launched once more on Thursday within the Fantasy of Flowers collection. I was determined to pick it up this time around and not miss my window yet again. Did I need it? Nope. Did I want it? Ooooh yes. So I got up on Thursday morning, pounced on my computer and prepared to finally get my hands on the infamous Stereo Rose. Unfortunately I wasn't the only one; by 11am it had sold out. After finally picking it up from my local store, I can say I am definitely not disappointed. Used as a blush, this skinfinish is basically just stunning. With shimmer (not glitter or sparkle!) and a peachy pink tone, it really is the ultimate example of makeup porn. As I have pale skin, I'm careful not to use it too heavily as it can look a little overboard, but used lightly it's unbelievably gorgeous. 

Although it's sold out online, my local store had a fair few so it's definitely worth checking around. Let's just hope (for all our sakes) Mac finally wakes up and makes this a part of their permanent collection!
