I'll admit, being a fair-skinned red head, the look of this blush scared me at first. It looked so bright on the website that I was sure it would make me look like a clown...but I ordered it anyway. Turns out there is nothing to fear here! This blush goes on subtle, but you can build it up if need be. It gives me the perfect flush when I just quickly swipe my brush over it. I've seen this blush on olive and copper skintones and it looks a-maze-ing. It now rivals my Georgia Peach, which was my #1 before. So I balance them by wearing Peach when I play up my eyes more, and Coralista when I have a more neutral eye.

So the weather around here has been crazily warm for this time of year. It made me want to do a fresh, springy look. I have just fallen in love with the MAC eyeshadow Sweet Lust. It's shimmery with some micro-glitter in it, but the glitter isn't all "oh look at me I have glitter all over my face," it's much more subtle. I've been using this eyeshadow a lot lately as a default shade when I'm not sure what I want to do or am in a hurry.
A closer look:
On the eye (please ignore the mascara boo-boo above my crease, haha):
As you can also tell from these pics, my allergies are kickin my butt! My eyes have been itchy and watery for a couple of weeks now, boo!
Ok anyway, with this shadow I paired Benefit's Her Glossiness in "Who Are You Wearing?" [which is in the buh-bye section on Benefit's website for only $9.00!!]
When people first see this shade in my gloss bag, they always wonder why I want such a bright color gloss. But as you can see, it doesn't apply as dark or bright as it looks. It gives the lips just a hint of pink. Love love love it.
To finish it all off, I applied Benefit's Georgia Peach along my cheeks bones and on the apples, then used MAC's Mineralized Skinfinish in Lighscapade to highlight.
I can't wait for summer to get here!
