Mac Haul - Fashion Flower!

So, for my first official post I figured I'd wait for MAC to come out with a collection. There are so many this summer that I wasn't sure which one would be first on my list. The metallic green of Bows and Curtsies got me so Fashion Flower it is ^_^

While I was waiting for the MAC artist to assist me I got a chance to look at the collection. It may have been small, but all the colors totally work as "fashion flower" colors. They even had the eyeshadows in the shape of a flower (which I thought was cute). I got to swatching and convinced myself that I needed Ever Hip. Anyone on the fence about the color go and get it at your local counter. You won't regret it!!

So here's my Haul:

Ever Hip: Natural Light (pretty true to color here)

Bows and Curtsies: Natural Light (pretty accurate but a tad darker in real life)

Alpha Girl: Natural Light (definitely way off -- much brighter in person)

Swatches of all three in Natural Light

Finally a quick look I did after getting home from work and finally being able to play with them. *Excuse the bra straps, lol. I was in the middle of changing and was like oh! I need a picture of this before my screw it up by changing* Ever Hip on my lips, Alpha Girl as blush and smudged a bit of bows and curtsies in the crease and used it as eyeliner.

Overall, I think the collection was really really cute and I can't wait for Surf Baby next month!

Over the past few months, I've come to see that lots of blogs are out there about different aspects of beauty. While I frequently am able to find swatches and such for the things I'm looking for, I find it odd that most bloggers are women with medium to dark skin tones.

Having said this, I have run across problems with products not showing up on me like they do with others. So with this blog I hope to give all the pale, pasty masses a voice. To show the fairest of the fair what products will work for them. It's about time someone did this -- why not me?
