MAC Surf Baby - My Paradise Cheek Powder

-

Don't you hate it when you're in a rush and you end up going a little darker on your make-up then you wanted to.  Well that is what I did the first day I put on My Paradise.  It's not terrible but sheesh I need to pay attention more.  I bring this up because of how dark this color is, you really need to use a light hand and watch how much you apply.  I only dipped my brush into the peach side cause I didn't want any sparkle and I still got a bit much.  I should have just accepted the sparkle and done my traditional one quick light swish around the pan, that always gives me the right amount of color.  But no I was trying to go for just peach and got too much.  Live and learn.  Random side track, you ever notice how we take the time to reduce the amount of red on our face just to go back in with blush and add color.  We are odd ducks aren't we?



My Paradise is a Limited Edition peach pressed powder with a gold hibiscus flower overspray.  Peach is one of those colors that works for some.  As I said I did notice this color ran a bit dark so try swatching this one before you buy to see if it's a good fit for your skin tone.


You can see how the gold overspray is quite raised ensuring it won't disappear after the first swipe.  A good call by MAC for those that like a bit of sparkle for the beach.


Swatched from left to right: Peach side only, gold overspray only, both mixed together.

MAC Surf Baby is available online at MAC and in stores.

After 3 seasons of following the adventures of Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Toph across the four kingdoms of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air, fans will finally get to see what happens after the series ends.  In Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise Part 1 , we pick up immediately after the end of the series to find our heroes along side Fire King Zuko and Earth King Kuei deciding how best to handle the removal of the Fire Nation colonies.  It's decided that The Harmony Restoration Movement, named by Sokka of course, will uproot and move all the Fire Nation colonists back to their homeland in the Fire nation and out of the Earth Nation territory.  A fine idea to be sure but it's soon realized some things are not as easy as they seem and Aang must learn if he can bring peace to the Movement as well as keep a difficult promise to a friend. The book contains the usual hi jinks of course, coupled with the its ability to tackle big social and economic issues much like the show did.
