MAC | Notable Blush from the Makeup Art Cosmetics Collection
Notable blush from the upcoming Makeup Art Cosmetics collection is pretty unique as far as its comparison to other blushes in the regular MAC line. It is a terrcotta tinged, medium-dark rose. This blush was made for WoC and will especially rock on latina complexions. Us pale (I mean “porcelain”, lol) gals can wear it too, but I recommend a very light hand and applying it with a #187 to ensure a light touch. One thing in your favor is that it builds very gradually with this method; going from a sheer wash to a bold swatch of colour.
I know a good amount of you said you were considering skipping the blushes as there are soooo many eye products in this collection that will be stealing your cash, but take a look at this blush. Notable is, well, notable.
Here’s a swatch for you to love on…

Remember, this launches on 18 Aug on MACCosmetics.com and 20 Aug at counters. So who’s in for a Notable?
Review | Stila ‘Mango Crush’ Lip and Cheek Stain – Swatches + Pics
For those of you who have serious crushes on Stila’s Cherry Stain and Pomegranate Stain, there’s a new crush in town…..Mango Crush Lip and Cheek Stain.
(Click “Read More” below for further info, swatches, and pics)….
This is summer in a tube. The colour somehow manages to be a great compliment to both yellow and pink undertoned-skin. You see red, yellow, orange and pink within Mango Crush. It is a really adaptable colour. Aside from the hot summer colour, the formula contains a subtle shimmer that looks really natural on the lips and helps make the lips look dewy and full, without being over the top. It gives the effect of just-licked lips. If you want to amp up ‘Mango Crush’, add a Stila’s 24 Karat Gold gloss over the top.
This is fantastic on the apples of the cheeks, as well. It gives a great glow from within. A word of caution though. One of the great aspects of this product is its staying powder, however that can go horribly wrong if you slip up whilst applying the blush. You can avoid this by working with small amounts of the stain and gradually building the colour. Start applying it at the center of the apple of your cheek, then work it out in a circular motion. You can also practice applying it to the back of your hand first to see how it performs.
The Mango Crush Lip and Cheek stain have the same tube and brush applicator that Cherry and Pomegranate have. Just give the tube a twist and colour will push up into the brush.
Some of the health benes? Mango Crush contains genuine extracts of its namesake fruit. The long lasting formula is high in anti-oxidants and formulated with Vitamin A, C & E to protect skin while adding moisture. Does that mean I can count it as one of my required daily servings of fruits and veggies? No? Not so much?
The Mango Crush stain is available this May at StilaCosmetics.com, Sephora and Sephora.com. It will retail for $24.00USD.
