Orange Zest and Some MAC N Collection Swatches

Here is an orange/copper/olive look using some of my favorite MAC Moonbathe collection shadows. Moonbathe was one of my favorite MAC color stories of 2007 because of the lovely, wearable shades and gorgeous colors. The packaging was also very pretty. I make it a point to wear the shadows regularly because it really is such a shame to let these hues go to waste by languishing in my drawer. I did however substitute Sable Wrap from the Holiday '06 Warm Eyes palette for Saturnal from the Moonbathe collection because they are almost identical. I am wearing Mulberry blush from my Cory blush haul and I am SO loving her blushes. They are indeed so pigmented that a couple of "granules" are all you need to create a pretty shade for your cheeks. I topped it with my new Light Flush mineralize skinfinish (MSF) from the new N collection and it's just gorgeous. The two MSFs from this new collection, Light Flush and Warmed, are really winners in my book. They apply prettily, have a satiny sheen, and are not messy glitter bombs like some of the other MSFs. The fact that they are devoid of chunky glitters makes them true keepers. I also love the warm bronze look Warmed gives, and the pretty pink sheen Light Flush provides.
