Blush palettes always pull me in, add in a breathtakingly beautiful highlighter to boot and I'm sold. Blusher is one of those make up items that I wear every single day. I don't wear eye shadow too often, but blusher just brings me to life. MAC Nutcracker Sweet Peach Face Compact has honestly stolen my heart this Christmas. For £29 you get a stunning neutral peach toned extra dimension blusher, and a champagne extra dimension skin finish highlighter.
I love the kitsch Nutcracker inspired pink and purple pvc bound compact, plus the gold embroidery on the front is simply stunning. To correlate with the packaging the collection has a very 'pink' theme, which I don't think will be to everyone's taste. The face compact though is available in two different variations, the Sweet Peach version which I have, and a Sweet Copper one which I think would be better suited to skin tones generally darker than mine.
I'm so impressed with the initial swatches of this face compact as multi-pan palettes are notorious for being sub-standard quality compared to their individual counter parts. The blusher has a soft satin finish that gives a gorgeous warm, lit from within glow.
The highlighter is extremely pigmented and swatches almost like a molten metal. It's a pale gold, champagne tone that almost looks rose gold in certain lights, I'll definitely be applying this with a light hand to give a subtle effect this holiday season. I can see myself wearing this palette most days as the blusher and highlighter are neutral enough to work with almost any make up look.
I can't wait to start using this face compact and I'm sure you'll be seeing it featured in a monthly favourites very soon. Have you got you're eye on anything from MAC's Nutcracker Sweet collection?? xoxo
