Despite being a big Mac fan I haven't been buying a lot from their recent collections. Although this month Mac released a good few collections, I only picked up a couple things. I'm sure it will change soon, especially as I have seen pictures of the upcoming holiday collection (details to follow). Anyway, shall we see what I've got?
Supercontinental blush is from the Styleseeker collection. It is a "cute bright coral" according to Mac which is about right, it is coral rather than pink or orange and it's a reallt flattering colour. This blush is satin finish and while plenty enough pigmented, it's not at all too full on, so don't have to worry about overdoing it. The texture is very smooth and soft, it's a really lovely addition to my blush stash.
Warming Heart pressed pigment is from the new Face & Body collection. According to Mac this is supposed to be a face highlighter, but to be honest it is way too glittery to be used on the face. It actually reminds me very much of the
Laura Mercier Sequin and
Bobbi Brown Sparkle eyeshadows, only this one is skin coloured (NW20 according to Mac, it's a light peachy pink colour to me). It is smooth, so no chunky glitter, but it has that high sheen, wet shimmery look about it. So I would definitely only use it as an eyeshadow, but probably not a highlighter for the browbone either.
Supercontinental blush costs £17.50 and you get 6 g for your money. Warming Heart pressed pigment costs £16.50 for 3 g. Both are limited edition, but still available from the Mac website and certain department stores.
