MAC in Lillyland Haul, Review and Swatches

I suppose it's about time that I got around to posting my MAC in Lillyland haul. I originally only purchased Florida Cremeblend blush, but I loved it so much that I went back and got So Sweet, So Easy as well.



Florida Cremeblend blush
This is a gorgeous shade of bright fuchsia. It can look a little intimidating in the pot, but if you just use a tiny bit, it's quite easy to sheer it out. I've worn this a couple of times already and it's great. I simply apply and blend with my fingers and set it with powder. It lasted all day on me.



So Sweet, So Easy Cremeblend blush
A nice bubblegum pink. Would work well for just a hint of colour if you're going for a more natural look. You could also intensify the colour by setting it with a powder blush.

These are the first creme blushes that I've purchased. My skin gets so dry in the winter, and creme products are great for this.

I do also have Rubenesque paint pot that came out with this, though I got it a long time ago, as it's part of the permanent collection.

I didn't pick anything else up, though the Lipgelees are quite pretty. I recently took inventory of my lipglosses, and I have far too many, so I skipped those. The Pearlmatte Eye Shadow is faily sheer, so I passed on that. The Pearlmatte Face Powder is one of those items that is really pretty to look at, but I'm not sure how often I'd actually use it, so I skipped that as well.

What does everyone else think of this collection? Did you get anything?
