MAC Magnetic Nude: "Carnal Instinct" and "Morning Rose" Lipsticks and "Autoerotique" Blush

After Christmas, I did a little MAC haul from the Magnetic Nude collection. Yesterday, I finally got my new camera so I'm back in the game!

Let's take a little look at Magnetic Nude...

Nars Guy Bourdin Blush in "Cœvur Battant"

As part of a little mini-haul from Sephora, I picked up one of the Guy Bourdin blushes--my first Nars blush!

Benefit "Hervana" Powder

I've been a big fan of Benefit's Coralista blush for a long time now and when I saw Hervana, I knew it was something I wanted. Stat.

I find the the way Benefit does blush--in boxes--to be very appealing. I like that there's no fall out when you're swiping your brush.

Milani Baked Blush in "Corallina"

I'm kind of a sucker for corals and when I was perusing the drugstore for new makeup, I found this blush by Milani. It's a bright, fun coral and it packs a lot of pigment with a little bit of shimmer. I used to avoid shimmer in blushes at all costs but I'm warming up to it as long as it's not a messy glitter bomb. 

Laura Geller Blush -N- Brighten in "Honey Dipped"

Now that I've had a chance to wear and swatch and play with my Laura Geller Blush -N- Brighten powder, I wanted to post about it. It was one of the items in my June Birchbox. I'd never used any Laura Geller makeup before, so it's always nice to get something totally new to try.

Benefit "Coralista" Blush

Coralista is an oldie but a goodie (yeah, I just said that) and I got it as part of my V.I.B. gift from Sephora about a month ago. I finally got around to playing with it the other day and it's just as pretty as everyone says!

My MAC + Mickey Contractor Haul and Swatches

I was really happy to see that I'd gotten the three items I ordered from the MAC + Mickey Contractor collection--As far as I know, Siahi and Sur have sold out and they were two of the three items I really wanted.

Siahi Fluidline

Ivy Fluidline

Sur Blush

Rock & Republic "Immoral" and "Shameless" Blushes

I swatched my two Rock & Republic blushes today. These are my first R&R products and I really love how smoothly they went on! Both of them are kind of intimidating looking in the compacts but when I applied them with brushes, they went on very lightly and were very buildable.
