Its described as a pale pearlised pink, though I find it also has a golden, slightly peach tone. It feels quite smooth though a tad powdery and dry (although it does apply well). The finish has so much sheen that it certainly doesn't fall into a natural looking highlighter for me and I find it easy to over do.

Though I do really like the look it gives to the skin when using a minimal amount. Actually I quite like using this as an eyeshadow topper, blended over a finished look it soften any edges and gives a slight golden sheen.

From the lipsticks I went for Naked Bud (£15), which is a lustre formula. The colour is a sheer peachy/beige nude.

Yes, you probably have similar colours but its a really nice shade that goes with anything and you can just throw in your handbag.

I'm pleased with these items but I can't say there was anything else in the collection that grabbed my eye.
I bought these from a MAC store.
Nice swatches! i like your idea how you use it for eyeshadow as transition color to blend the colors. I never thought of it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, yes its well worth a try on the eyes, I have been using it loads that way :)
DeletePerfect Topping looks so pretty on your skin tone xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, I am tempted to look into more shades now :)
DeleteI really like Naked Bud, it's the kind of shade I would go for - I was thinking of b2m for one of the lipsticks from this collection. Agree with Liss on Perfect Topping - the shade looks lovely on you.
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Naked Bud is just so easy to wear, I can't think if its a limited edition one or not so you might want to grab it soon ;)
DeleteDat lippie... :-) Love the color!
ReplyDeleteI do love this sort of shade :)
DeleteI saw and swatched these the other day but for some reason I just can't seem to get back into MAC these days. I did like the texture of both blushes and they are really lovely but I passed. I might go back for one, I just don't know. :)
ReplyDeleteI seem to have MAC phases, I did dip out from the brand but some collections have started getting my interest again, I do think that a lot of their collections seem to just be a re-cycle of past ones though and it can all seem a bit familiar ;)
DeleteGreat idea to use Perfect Topping as an eyeshadow-I haven't used mine yet but must dig it out! Lightscapade is also beautiful!

Thanks, I really love using it that way :) I'll make sure to check out Lightscapade if its a hit for you x
DeleteI ran out to buy Perfect Topping after reading you use it to blend eyeshadow!! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it used that way as much as I do ;)
