My MAC Blushes

Hello my lovelies :)

It was requested ages ago that I record a video giving an overview of my MAC palettes and I went ahead took the photos in this post to support those videos. Unfortunately I haven't been able to upload the videos and since I wasn't in the mood to re-record them just yet I thought I'd go ahead and share these photos with you any way :)

These aren't all my blushes, these are just the ones I have in palette form or limited edition ones that I haven't depotted. I have a few Mineralized ones and some Mineralized Skinfinishes too, plus the ones I own from other brands. So yeah, just one or two... Any way, onto the photos :)

Before I forget, you can see my first post about my palettes here, I still store them in the same purple box :)

  1. Ooooh I'm so jealous! What palette are you going to start next? I think you would like melba! It's kinda of like a non shimmery version of Nars Orgasm :) xxx

  2. @Amy: I had Melba but it oxidised and went kind of orange on me :( Ended up giving it to a friend *sigh*

    I'm considering depotting my cream blushes and cream colour bases and putting them into a palette but I worry that they might dry out :s

    Will probably post my eyeshadow palettes next but it's a bit of an epic task swatching them all!

  6. My favourite has to be Springsheen, perfect colour for me. I'm very jealous of your collection!

  7. What a lovely collection! How are these very pale pinks showing on you? I always feel that kind of color doesn't show on me, so I end up piling up and not looking good...somehow I find it easier to apply a dark color with a light hand, which is a shame where there are so many pale pretties!

  8. Wow so many blushers! I really like Bite of the Apple :)

  9. Your neutral palette is lovely - I would buy that if MAC sold it as a palette, lol!

  10. Wow what a great collection! I really like how you organized it. What do you think of cream blushes?

  11. Gorgeous shades! This post is making me consider purchasing a MAC blush. I'd be very interested in seeing your creme blushes next! I love your blog and I can't wait for your next post :-)

  13. @Colette: It's a beautiful colour but very pigmented. I have to be super careful to not over do it otherwise I look like a clown!

  15. @Kat @ Cherries In The Snow Beauty Blog: Springsheen is one of my favourites for summer :) Years worth of collecting really starts to build up lol!

  16. @Musing on Beauty: I find they add more of a glow than much colour. I find they're really nice to add on top of more pigmented cream blushes too.

  19. @Emily: I love cream blushes as I have dry skin. I don't have as many because I worry they'll dry out before I can use them up!

  21. I love MAC blushes but only own 3 of them, and have been thinking about picking up a few more so this was VERY helpful! Desert Rose looks gorgeous :) and for some reason I love the name.

  22. @Caitlin: So pleased you found it helpful :)

  23. Hi Kelly! You are so pretty! I Loved your look that links to the karlasugar site. The one you reference along with your blushbaby description. I just HAVE to know what you used on your lips. I'm hoping you remember. The eyes are brilliant as well but if you don't remember it's ok.
    Thanks so much! Your vids are so helpful :) - j

    1. Hi Lily!

      Funnily enough to do remember what I wore as I'd bought it specifically for that day! On my lips is a liner from Bare Escentuals called Even More Wearable Pink, blotted down quite heavily with MAC Hot Tahiti blotted heavily over the top to get a "Snow White" berry red lip stain. On the eyes is MAC Phloof, MAC Naked Lunch and MAC Satin Taupe with a bit of liner and black mascara. Hope that helps :-)
