I have tried the pink blush thing before and it’s not for me. I was talking with my readers like I normally do and we came to the conclusion that warm toned gals just cant pull off cool toned blushes. So warm toned gals look away, this blush aint for you. Yes it appears to be a hot pink, but it’s not!
Cool toned gals welcome to the party! NARS Gaiety is the blush for you! Gaiety is a cool toned, blue based soft pink. In order to achieve the bright vivid pink, you are going to need layer after layer after layer. It is buildable, so that is a good thing.
Gaiety is all matte no shimmer, no sparkle.
NARS Gaiety is available for $28.00 on http://www.narscosmetics.com/

MAC’s Naturally Collection was full of surprises! Fresh Honey is a soft punchy orange. You could say a muted Apricot but I am leaning more towards a soft orange.
Fresh honey is very light and powdery, expect fallout when applying this blush. Not only will you get fallout on your brush, but it will leave fallout on the inside of the brush container. Not a big deal of course.
While this looks good on my arm, I am too warm for this blush on my face. 
You can purchase this blush for $20 on maccosmetics.com or visit the site to check the location of stores near you.
I blended at the top and didn’t at the bottom so you could get a better idea of what this looks like blended and unblended. You really have to be the right skin tone to pull this one off. Like… pale, no yellow undertones for this blush.
MAC Redhead Mineralized Satin Finish was originally released with the Brunette, Blonde, Redhead collection back in 2008. It has made a reappearance in the Naturally Collection, probably because of it’s beautiful and natural finish to the skin. It was also the warmest of the collection.
MAC Redhead MSF visually is a quad-stripped skin finisher. Starting at the left with a pale champagne and progressing to the right with a bronze and ending to the far right with a frosty coral.
I wish I had the one from the original release to compare, but I don’t. The shimmer is light and natural, it does not photograph on the skin frosty or too chunked with glitter (Like, Glissade? Glitterbomb!)
I recommend apply with the MAC 187 for a flawless finish. I promise once you apply with that brush you will have glowing second skin!
This was swatched with my fingers, imagine using a brush!

Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide-on Shadow Pencil stash is a set of 5 highly pigmented shadow pencils with multi purpose uses. It is honestly everything that we always wanted from the 24/7 liners that we couldn’t get because there just was not enough product (and duh they were intended to be just liners).

I have always been a fan of MAC’s mineralized products. From the mineralized satin finishes (You hear me call them MSF’s) to the mineralized eye shadows I am a fan. So earlier this month MAC released the Naturally Collection which is a collection of mineralized shadows, blushes, finishes, lipsticks, lipglasses and brushes. I got my hands on a few of the items so let’s just start with this eye shadow- MAC Daylight.
MAC Daylight in it’s packaging seems to be a lavender eye shadow with swirls of a golden peach. Once you swatch it on your hand of course, it becomes a whole new gift!
MAC Daylight swatched is more on the lines a light silvery lavender. It applies very lightly and silky. The one thing about mineralized shadows that I can give props to- you never have to worry about getting product from brush to skin.
Daylight gives more a purple glow than shimmer. Which is great because this is a natural collection.
The mineralized eye shadows of course can be applied wet (I don’t recommend,remember NATURAL)

Did you purchase this shadow or any of the other shadows from this collection? What did you think?
