Ripe For Love

 Due to my somewhat erratic, and definitely unnecessary spending habits, I'm on something of a spending ban, although this one's triggered by a lack of funds rather than a desire to develop self restraint. Because of that, I didn't even bother looking at the new MAC collections that hit us in the last week, knowing it would just be torture. But whilst showing a visiting friend round Harrods, I couldn't help but stop and have a little look. Whilst a lot of the collection was already sold out, the bits that were sold out weren't anything that particularly tickled my fancy. What did catch my eye however, was this blush, from the Temperature Rising collection, and after watching me gaze at it lustfully, the aforementioned friend decided to pick it up for me, as a little treat. What a sweetie.

Anecdotes aside, I've been looking at MAC's Peaches blush for a while, umming and ahhing over whether to buy it or not, and this is kind of a Peaches on steriods blush, with the bonus of being a limited edition. It's not quite as orangey, if I was naming it I would have called it 'Dirty Peaches' since that's exactly what it reminds me of. It's a bit darker, a bit more natural looking.

I love the packaging of this collection, very simple, just like standard MAC packaging but a gorgeous burnt bronze colour (the inside of the box is a deep royal purple which if I had my way, I would make everything in my life that colour).

It's a Satin finish, so expect a buttery, soft consistency (the other blush from this collection is a Frost finish, and rather scary looking might I add). As with all MAC products, the pigmentation and quality is excellent. I just love the colour, it gives me a real natural glow.

 Have you been tempted by anything in MAC's new collection?
