Mac Temperature Rising Powder Blush: Hot Nights

I decided on Hot Nights ($23.00@nordstrom) The color is described as a berry pink, it is a very pigmented pink. On the pan you can see some shimmery pigments, however the color goes on smoothly and gives the skin a nice sheen.The texture of the powder is very soft and fine. I really like the color and I feel you can really play with it using a light or heavy hand.Hot Nights is a color that will suit allot of skin tones.You can always swatch it at the store and try the powder on yourself,just make sure you look at different mirrors in the mac counter under different lighting before you purchase. Remember it is limited edition so it usually sells out fast. Let me know what you think, drop a comment.


Brushes: I used the Sonia Kashuk No.123 brush (@target $8.99)

Mac Temperature Rising Pro Long wear Bronzing Powder :sun dipped

The new Mac Temperature Rising Collection from Mac hit the stores in the US on May 23, Nordstrom had the collection available in stores on 5/22 (1 day earlier). MAC Sun Dipped Pro Long wear Bronzing Powder ($30.00 for 0.42 oz.) on the mac webpage it's described as a  "dirty red tone". I don't see it, it's actually more of a a warm-toned dark brown with a hint of gold shimmer dust. I was a bit hesitant at first to purchase it because once I actually saw the color in person it looked a bit grayish and plain. Once I got home and tried it it’s a love hate relationship.  The color looks shimmery in the pan but once applied the shimmer fades. I used it to contour and it gave my skin a nice and summery glow.Yet I feel the color is not that strong and I am very light and had trouble with the color I Had to apply it a few times so I could see it,I then applied some blush to enhance the look. I am very happy with this purchase the color is very natural and doesn't look orange. This is the perfect color for light to light medium skin tones.So go ahead and try it out it’s a nice add on to the collection and remember it’s only available for a limited amount of time.

I am using:
Foundation: MAC studio fix Fluid Foundation in NC 15 and in the summer I add a little NC 20 ($27.00@ Macy’s)
Blush: Mac Peaches ($21.00@ nordstrom)
