MAC Tropical Taboo Collection - Mineralized Blushes

Even though MAC are constantly bringing out new collections, I can't help but get a little bit sucked in every time. The newest collection they have out is their Tropical Taboo collection. Although a lot of the products looked really pretty, I was a good girl and only ended up purchasing two of their mineralized blushes.

There are three blushes in this collection, but the third one (Exotic Ember) seemed like more of a bronzer, and didn't really take my fancy. These blushes can look a little bit scary in terms of colour, but when the two colours in the pan are blended together, they come out a really lovely colour.

I haven't had chance to wear these as part of my day to day make up yet as I only purchased them yesterday. Unfortunately, the photo showing the swatches on the back of my hand doesn't quite pick up the shimmer that is in Simmer (That felt quite pleasing to say!). For this reason, I decided to include a swatch of the product when it was directly picked up by my finger tips. From this you can clearly see the gold shimmer that runs quite strongly throughout. The shades are quite similar in colour, but the colour can alter each time depending how much of each colour in each palette you pick up. For these swatches, I tried to pick up an even amount of each colour in each blusher.

All in all, I am rather happy with these blushes. I do tend to prefer their mineralized blushes over their regular ones as I just feel the colour payoff is better.

Have you purchased anything from this collection yet? If so, what are your thoughts?
Thank you for reading.

Rachel.
