Well Hello,
Today I
want to bring you a review on my Mac blush in “Gingerly”. This is the only
blush I own by Mac but I definitely plan on getting more in the future.
After having watched Allison’s (amarixe on Youtube)” The Vampire Diaries Inspired Makeup: Caroline Forbes!” video,
I immediately had to get the blush she was using. She is pretty fair skinned
and as far as I can tell from her videos her skin tone looks pretty similar to
mine, so I thought I couldn’t go wrong with buying this blush. And I didn’t. I
absolutely love this color.
NOTE: All Pictures are in natural light!
Even though according to all
those endless beauty advisor sites as a fair skinned person the more pink-ier
blushes are supposed to look better on me…I don’t really care and just go for
which ever color I find prettiest. Those tend to always be the terracotta-y
more neutral brown shades.
Anyways I ordered the blush
online which I know is risky but I do not regret it.
The blush is a “Sheertone”
formula. It has no shimmer in it and there’s no fallout at all. The color is a
terracotta pinki-brown peach shade…if that makes any sense. I find it would
work for many skin tones.
The color payoff is alright
although not super opaque which I don’t mind, because one I am fair skinned so
it is better if the color isn’t to strong and two you can really build up the
color to your desired effect.

So a while
ago I went out with a friend of mine and as you do we got ready together. She
doesn’t own that much high end makeup…in fact none at all. She wasn’t sure what
to wear for a blusher so I suggested my Mac “Gingerly” at first she wasn’t
quite sure but once applied she loved the color so much that she wanted to go
out and buy it…but not owning any high end makeup she didn’t know what the
price was and when we were at our Mac counter she was a bit shocked and in the
end ended up not buying it.
Here we get
into the “what we’re up to “-part. So for the longest time now, ever since the
night we went out I wanted to give her the blush as a gift for her birthday.
That was about 9 months ago and now her birthday was finally here.
So next
week Karen and me together with our course, in which also my friend who loved
the blush is, we’re going on a school trip to Vienna. Luckily we’re staying in
a hotel not far from a mall with a mac store. Karen and I decided to go and see
what purchases we can make. A Haul will follow...Promise. And I will also get
my friend her oh so beloved blush as a gift and hope she still remembers and
appreciates it.
During our
stay in Vienna we will take pictures and bring you all loads of posts about our
stay, what we wore and what we bought. We will write some posts in advance so
you don’t get bored while we’re not here… I hope you liked my short review and
found it helpful…stay tuned
Love, Zoe xx
