so as i'm sure you all know... mac's latest collection is called semi-precious and consists of a boat load of mineralized products. after careful consideration i chose two goodies and i'm very impressed with my selections!!
first up i got the mineralized blush in pressed amber. i was intrigued by the simple brown color and thought it would make a wonderful light wash on the cheeks for those "natural" days... or a nice contour. and yes i was right!! it is the most AMAZING contour color!!!! beware though... this is so soft and pigmented! a light hand is a necessity.

i also HAD to pick up a mineralized skin finish to add to my collection. i had heard that semi precious crystal pink was very similar to by candlelight (from warm and cozy) which i missed out on... so, naturally i went straight for it at the counter.

a closer look... i was a bit put off by the center part as it looks kind of odd, but once i swatched it i forgot all about that. hello gorgeousness!!

the swatches... loveliest highlight ever! a light pink/peach frost with minimal glitter and just the right amount of sheen. the center works well as a blush on it's own. LOVE!
