MAC Daphne Guinness Blush

It seems as of late, I've become more obsessed with anything ombre. (See my original ombre-themed post here). When I saw the new Daphne Guinness for MAC collection, the two blush ombres immediately caught my attention.


I choose Azalea Blossom because Vintage Grape seemed a little too dark for my NW 20 skintone. I am surprised that both blushes are still in stock online, however, I read that it is actually a repromote (originally appearing in the Spring Colour Forecast) so maybe many picked it up then?




Left to Right: Pink Section, Purple Section, Mixed

Azalea Blossom is a cool-toned (blue-based) pink. When swatching, I noticed the pink tone is actually less cool than the purple section. Both sections of the blushes are large enough to "customize" the blush.  Personally, I like evenly mixing the two together.





Did you pick up anything from the Daphne Guinness collection? I was tempted to pick up two of the lipglosses in Japanese Spring & Narcissus but decided against it and picked up a brush instead. I chose the 168, a large angled contour brush which I used to apply this blush.
Where to Buy: MAC Cosmetics
Cost: $26 for 9g/0.31 oz

Top 5 MAC Lipsticks- Pink


I'm in love with pink lipsticks.
 Here are five of my favorite light to medium pink lipsticks from MAC.



From left to right and in no particular favorite order...


1) Viva Glam Gaga- Lustre Finish. Slightly cool-toned. Love this bubblegum pink! This was a limited edition lipstick, so if you can't find it anywhere, MAC's Snob, below, is somewhat similar.

2) Snob- Satin Finish. Cool-toned medium pink lipstick. 


3) Angel-  Labeled as 'Frost Finish', however, there really isn't a frost finish to Angel. 


4) Creme Cup- Cremesheen Finish. Probably my #1 favorite.


5) Pretty Please- Lustre Finish. This lipstick is a (very) light pink and semi-sheer.
