I have been neglecting my blog for faaaar too long but I've returned with a haul. Who doesn't love a haul? I surely do. Any-who, I was contacted by the website Glambot to review a few items and I've included swatches below. Glambot works with people to resale any high end makeup products that are no longer wanted. I like to think of it as a third party blog sale. The website carries several high end makeup lines including MAC, Urban Decay, Nars, etc.
I selected two blushes and four eye-shadows to review. Everything came individually packaged in bubble wrap and the entire package was bubble wrapped as well. Below is an overview of the items I selected.
The blushes I selected were Pinch Me and Plum Du Bois. Pinch Me, a sheertone blush, is part of the permanent line at MAC and is described as a medium dirty rose coral. It is very pigmented to be a "sheertone" blush and it is completely matte. Plum Du Bois, a frost blush, was originally released in 2008 with the Cult of Cherry collection. It is described as brownish plum with hints of gold. This blush is much less pigmented than Pinch Me so it will be great to layer over other blushes or if you want a more natural flush to the cheeks.
The eye-shadows I selected were Rule, Ricepaper, Patina and Satin Taupe. Luckily all of these colors are part of the permanent line at MAC. Rule, a matte shade, is described as a vivid orange. This color is gorgeous as a transition color and could also be used as a blush because it is so highly pigmented. Ricepaper, a frost, is described as a peachy gold with shimmer. I typically shy away from non-matte highlight colors but because Ricepaper has yellow undertones it doesn't look overwhelming on my brow bone. Patina, a frost, is described as a taupe brown with golden pearl. This color isn't discussed much (IMO) and it doesn't look like much in the pot but it is a gorgeous lid/crease color that is perfect all year long. Lastly, Satin Taupe (a frost, surprise surprise) is described as a taupe with silver shimmer. This is a color that will work with any look, any skintone and any season. I think it is a must have in one's collection.
