While I was making my normal rounds at Nordstrom this makeup palette by MAC immediately caught my eye. The artwork on the packaging was definitely worth admiring and as I opened the palette I knew that MAC absolutely hit this one out of the park. The face kit features two lip colors, four eyeshadows, and one blush.

Blush:
The blush is a matte powder in a peachy coral. Application was smooth, long lasting, and it was surprisingly easy to build color. (I am SUCH a blush addict.) In love with this color!
Eyeshadows:
Orb is the top left shadow and is a soft white/nude. The pigment was average and it's a great basic lid color to prep for more pigmented shadows and works well for blending. All That Glitters (My FAVORITE MAC eyeshadow & voted Allure's best 2012!!) is the top right shadow and is a gorgeous bronzy gold with just the right amount of shimmer to wake up any look. It easily doubles as a lid color & a highlight for the inner eye and the brow bone. This is nice if you are traveling and only want to pack this single palette! Smoked Sepia is the bottom left shadow that reminds me of the approaching fall. It features a smoky burnt brown with a hint of burgundy and beige undertones. I used this shadow in my crease to create depth. Show-Stopper is the bottom right color and is a cocoa brown that is great for deepening the outer lid color & blending into the crease.
Lipstick:
Ravishing is my favorite of the two lipsticks included in this kit and is a warm rose-coral color! The finish was average and overall a great look. Myth is closer to a peachy nude that I also enjoyed but wasn't blown away with how it looked on my olive skin tone. Both of these lipsticks were easily applied with the smaller end of the makeup brush that was included in this kit.
Urgh. I'm so tempted to buy this even more after this review, cause like you said it would be a great palette to have to travel with. MERGH. I'm such a makeup addict. Thanks for the review :D
