MAC Beauty Powder Blush


MAC's new LE Beauty Powder blushes launch Thursday. These are high pigment, super smooth blushes. Pictured are 4 from the collection,

I have been a MAC blush fan for a really long time, and they are almost the only ones I use. They never fade or wear off. This is a collection I have been looking forward to.

The blushes do pack a punch. When they say more pigment, they mean it. So far I have found Joyous to be to my liking. A bright peach in the manner of NARS Torrid ( which I also recently got,but more orange )it gives a very awake look. I just blend powder on top. True Romantic is a lighter shade for the palest out there.
The ones shown clockwise from top left: Sweetness, True Romantic, Serenely( a gorgeous brick red ), and Joyous.

They retail for 17.50 each
The whole line:

Shy Beauty Pastel apricot with gold pearl (satin)
Feeling Dirty plum with silver pearl (satin)
Sweetness Intense blue pink (satin)
Joyous Peach with gold pearl (satin)
True Romantic Mid-tone pink with silver pearl (satin)
Serenely Deep brownish red with gold pearl (satin)
Eversun Neutral peach bronze with gold pearl (satin)
Secret Blush Dirty neutral plum with gold pearl (satin)


I have also been loving the new tinted lip conditioners. Loved them when they first came out, now we have new shades with shimmer, so even better. These will never be my beloved Tendertones, but they sure are nice. Very sheer, but with several applications and a blotting between, I got some good color and lasting power.

Pictured is Strobe Current and Strobe Kiss.
These are on counters now. $ 14.50
