Another little quickie collection from MAC: a sextet of limited edition powder blushes. Now I LOVE blush, but somehow this collection didn’t set my heart racing. (Am I the only one?)
Immortal Flower is a matte warm pink (even though it’s a Satin finish). Modern Mandarin is a satin tangerine-persimmon with a silver sheen/shimmer. Lovecloud is a satin strawberry-candy pink with a silver sheen (very subtle shimmer).
Here are light and heavy swatches:
Full of Joy is a shimmery pale lilac (pinky purple, though it looks especially purple next to Peony Petal) with a silver shimmer/sheen. Peony Petal is a satin (near-matte, but glowy) cool pink. Pink Tea is a satin rose-pink, and if I’d realized how similar it was going to look to Lovecloud, I would have swatched them side by side. I think Pink Tea is a little bit dustier and a little bit mauvier than Lovecloud.
These blushes are $20 each, and all six shades are still available (with free shipping, natch) from Nordstrom.com

Yeah I’m only loving the Modern Mandarin blush.
