First of all let me say that I find the name tacky. The name doesn't do the product justice, however. I was about to pass up on the two released beauty powders in the Barbie collection, namely Pearl Blossom and Pearl Sunshine, because I thought the effect would just be the same as any one of my mineralized skinfinishes (MSFs). It's a little bit different, though, and the effect is subtle but very fascinating and beguiling. It gives a tiny bit of a sheen to the area when applied, but it doesn't give a frosty look just like MSFs would. Just a subtle catching of light, a little wink, a tiny twinkle, not an all-out shine. I've been checking out swatches of it online and I couldn't decide if I wanted to get it, until a phone call to my local MAC counter revealed that they only had one of the Pearl Blossoms left in stock. I then knew that the last beauty powder was mine. I had it reserved and drove over to MAC to snag it. That's it. I'm officially done with Barbie.
