MAC Harmony Blush Review



I have been meaning to get my hands on this product for a while,and I finally did after my Auntie managed to pick this Beauty up from Madrid after weeks of it being sold out in the Uk.

This Mac Blush is so versatile as you can use it as a contouring face bronzer or a warming blush or even an eye crease color to give depth to your different looks.It is fantastic for all Skins Tones from pale to medium.

This Muted rosy beige could almost pass for a brown,

This is a favorite of mine as i am able to use it for the purpose of contouring my face along side with the Mac Mineralize skin soft and gentle to add a Highlight.

I also find this to be the perfect blush for contouring because of its soft matte powder finish. If you have ever had trouble with bronzers having orange undertones before then Harmony is the blush for you! It adds warmth without the orange undertones.

The warmth will not interfere with the rest of your makeup,their is no shimmer in the blush so it can easily be worn everyday just to give your skin abit of color. This blush will compliment almost any makeup look to create the perfect finish.

I have worn this blush alot and have had lots of compliments on the way it looks on my skin.
I would recommend if your skin is between NC30-NC45 this blush will look gorgeous on you.

So if you are looking for the perfect contouring blush this may be the one for you?

My Quick Smokey Eye Tutorial




Hey guys so today I decided to have a play around with a few palettes to create a desired smokey eye look. A Smokey eye is perfect if you want a dramatic look and this works well on all eye colours Brown Hazel Green or Blue.
I have listed below my step by step tutorial on how to achieve my finished look and the products I have used.
I hope you find this useful!

Products I used to achieve-

Mac Paint Pot in Painterly
NYX Love in Paris Palette
Mac Warm Neutral Palette
Bourjois Paris Bronzing Powder
Soap and Glory Eyeliner
Mac Mineralise skin finish in soft and gentle.
False Lash Effect Mascara Primark

How to achieve this-

I began by applying my Mac Paint Pot all over the eyelids as a base.
I then took my bourjois paris bronzer and applied it threw the crease of the eyelids to add warmth to the Eye using a blending brush.
I then began to build up the colour by applying a black eyeshadow from my NYX love in paris palette all over the eyelid.
I then applied a shimmer to the outer half of the eyelid to soften any harsh edges.
To blend out the eyeshadow I then again used the bourjois brozing powder for the ultra smokey look.
Finishing of my eyeshadow I applied the Mac Mineralise Powder to Highlight the Browbone.
I finished my look by applying a Black Liquid eyeliner and a touch of mascara to my bottom and top lashes.

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial,thank you for reading let me know if you try it out

MAC Eye Shadow x15 Warm Neutral Palette

MAC Eye Shadow x15 Warm Neutral Palette Review, and swatches.

Hey everybody so this is my first blog post and 
I have recently purchased one of MAC cosmetics 15 pan eye shadow palettes in warm neutral. This is a pre-filled 15 slot eye shadow palette which is made up of a mix of warm toned shades.
MAC cosmetics also sell this 15 pan eye shadow palette in Cooler toned neutrals.

The warm neutral collection of 15 eye shadows is made up of limited edition, some permanent,that are designed to flatter warmer skin tones and are perfectly designed to complement green and blue eyes.
This warm neutral palette is retailed at £65 (UK Price). As this is a MAC palette i would be wrong to say this is not well priced. The reason I think this is because if you think about the price of building your own 15 pan eye shadow palette you are saving a lot of money.


UK price Mac Palette- £14.00
Insert – £6.50
Mac eye shadow pan – £10.00

Just by looking at this In my opinion,£65 for a 15 pan MAC eye shadow palette is a bargain ! . The price of this palette is defiantly something to consider if you are planning to start your own palette as I would advise you to think of the cost. And to check out MAC ready made pallets before creating your own
Below are the names of the shades included in this palette .


Top Row-
From the left to the right in order
Hey , Warm Breeze , Ginger Snap , Dark Brew and Dance in the dark .

Middle row - Brule , Vanilla Extract , Honey Lust, Amber Lights , and Saddle .
Bottom row -Lemon tart , Creative Copper , Butter Fudge, Devine Decadeke and Unwind.
I hope you all found this review useful and thank you for reading,love Aimee xo
