This shade was recommended by fellow blogger Khymm when i asked for suggestions for the perfect nude lippie that would match an NC35 with olive undertones skin. boy was she right! you see, most of my nude lippies totally wash me out and make me look like a corpse, trying out this shade was indeed a Eureka moment for me. i love it so much i plan to buy at least 2 backups just in case they discontinue this. 



The Good
- creamy consistency and glides like butter on the lips
- the perfect peachy-nude lipstick for me (i'm an NC35), and does not wash me out
- this is not an MLBB shade, its a great nude shade that will complement a smoky eye 
- great pigmentation
- fragrance free! no lipsticky smell!
- not drying on the lips
- comes in a lovely matte, quilted packaging
- Revlon Colorburst comes in a wide selection of beautiful colors, i want to collect them all!



The Bad
- i can't think of any


Final Verdict
A+

I'm soooo happy i finally found a nude lippie that suits me. i can't wait to try out all the other colors!


Is this my HG nude lippie? i can't say just yet. but so far, i'm sooo loving this!

MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Sunbasque





What the Label Says

Color for the cheeks and face.

Shade: Sunbasque (Peach with Pearl- Sheertone Shimmer)
in 6g/0.21oz


Price:
$19.50 in MAC
Bought this on Ebay for P1,100.00


Swatches




The Good
- no weird smell
- texture is velvety smooth
- this did not broke me out
- staying power is average 
- very good color payoff
 - this is described as peach with pearl but the best way to describe how it shows up on my face is orangey-bronzey-peach
- my favorite finish in MAC Powder blushes is sheertone shimmer because it gives a glowy lit from within look, and this blush does just that
- IMHO, this shade will flatter warm, medium-toned skin
-  this will give your cheeks a natural bronze-ish, orangey-ish (pardon the english) color to your cheeks. perfect for summer!
-  this will also look good with fair skinned ladies but should be applied with a light hand

The Bad
Nothing!

This color is such a keeper! Sunbasque is my official summer blush.


Tip
Make sure to use a light hand when applying this (especially if your Fair-Medium skinned)
I use a stippling brush when applying and slowly build the color until you achieve the color you want. here's me wearing Sunbasque (I'm NC35 for reference):


Final Verdict
A+
