A recent swing by the Cosmetic Company Outlet, and I found a few MAC items I needed to have. The first is the Mineralize Blush Duo from the Grand Duo Collection called Hot Planet, and the second is a Loose Beauty Powder in Dancing Light. Both are beautiful in their own right! The Loose Beauty Powders are milled loose powders that bring a sheer irridescence to the eyes, cheeks and even lips! I believe these are/were available through the MAC Pro stores only, if memory serves correctly.
The Grand Duo Blush in Hot Planet is a split blush, one side swirled with pale and deep corals, bronze and ivory shimmer. The other side is a beautiful warm rose shade. Blended together, this creates a gorgeous pink/coral flush. Like most of these mineralize blushes, especially those with darker colors, I would suggest using a light hand to apply the first time, at least until you learn how *bright* the color will be on your cheeks.
The Loose Beauty Powder in Dancing Light reminds me of crushed pearls, or a larger version of Bare Escentuals White Gold Glimmer. This is truely an ivory base with golden shimmer. When applied with a brush, it sweeps across the skin and leaves behind a beautiful pale golden shimmer. This is perfect to add highlight, use as an eyeshadow, or add some shimmer to a lip gloss. I use this one all the time, especially in the summer when the golden shade can play on sun-kissed skin.
Swatches are above - I swiped both sides of the Mineralize Blush, and then blended together. As you can see, it is quite pigmented! Next to the blush is the Loose Beauty Powder...gorgeous!
Dancing Light looks gorgeous!
