MAC Spring Colour Forecast & Other Stuffs Part II

And in this bunch…

…I picked up a few things from the MAC Spring Colour Forecast collection.  I got two lipsticks in Radiccio (lustre finish) and Bronzilla (frost finish). Two lipglasses in Gold Dust and Kumquat.  I also picked up Vintage Grape ombre blush.  I didn’t get any of the single eyeshadows or quads because none of them looked unique to me. I went in wanting  Straw Harvest eyeshadow, but when I swatched it it came out more corally pink than orangey pink so I passed!

Here is a close up of my lipsticks (left is Radiccio and right is Bronzilla) and swatches (top is Radiccio and bottom is Bronzilla).  I love both of these lipsticks a lot and they were the only ones I liked from the entire collection. Bronzilla makes a great nude lip for me that gives some sheen to my lips so I’m in love with it.  Radiccio is such a sweet, frosty, pink purple that is so pretty! Price: $14.00 each

I do not know what happened, but I was so mad when I got home.  I was missing a lipglass.  I asked the MA at my counter to get me Lavender Wind lipglass and she did…it just never made it into my bag. Grrrrrrrrrrrr!  I know they are all sold out now so no need to cry over spoiled milk.  I wanted to put Lavedar Wind over Radiccio and Faultlessly, but oh well.

I, however, am not missing my Kamquat and Gold Dust lipglass and I’m happy about that.  I find that these two lipglasses are very pigmented and show their true colors on my lips.  I really love these two lipglasses a lot and they are unlike any other MAC lipglasses I own.

Last, but not least, I picked up three blushes and the reason why you only see Vintage Grape in the picture below is because I ended up taking Azalea Blossom because it came out too light on my skin and I guess I’m too dark for it.  I also gave away Ripe Peach, which I totally regret now because it’s sold out everywhere, because it only gave my cheeks sheen.  I have a lot of MSFs that can do the same thing so I dumped it right away.  I should have kept it because the shimmer was light and it probably could have looked nice over another blush (I’ll never know).

I kept my Vintage Grape because it shows up on my skin and it’s beautiful.  It is my first purple blush and I love it.  I’ve been wearing it a lot recently.  It’s really hard to swatch so I didn’t because I find that I have to build up the color to get pay off, but the pay off is well worth it.  Price: $25.00
