Hey Everyone! Got my hands on the MAC Naturally Collection...Yaaay! I had been looking forward to the release of this collection, mainly for the mineralized blushes! I am a blush fiend. I can't help it. Blushes are a major weakness of mine :)
So what do I think about the few items I purchased from this collection...
First, lets talk about the blushes. I was impressed by the new formulation of the MAC mineralized blushes. All 3 of the blushes were finely milled and smooth to the touch. To add, they all had wonderful color payoff with just one swipe. I absolutely love the blush in Subtle Breeze, I am roughly a NC40 (MAC foundation) and this color looks extremely natural and lovely on my skin tone. It is more of a blue based pink, but it translates as a natural flush on the skin. As for Early Morning, I personally felt as though it was a little too dark and coral/orange for my skin. I can still use it, but I have to make sure not to use a heavy hand. Otherwise, it can easily go from looking nice to making me look like a clown. I will be keeping it, but it is not one of my favorites. I opted out of getting the third blush in Fresh Honey. I have too many apricot colors that mimic this blush that are already a part of my collection. And I felt it wasn't something that stood out to me as original.
I also picked up one of the lipsticks in A Perfect Day. This is a beige pink nude lipcolor, that has a amplified creme finish. Y'all know how I feel about MAC's amplified creme lipsticks! I love and can't get enough of them. I really like the fact that with amplified creme's, what you see is what you get! The color itself is a tad bit lighter than I normally like, but when paired with a complementing gloss it looks great.
