MAC WASH & DRY COLLECTION

HIGHLIGHT POWDER   .03oz, $35.50

POWDER BLUSH   .21oz, $24.50

Hey guys! Today's review is on MAC's WASH & DRY Summer Collection. This collection was available online May 14th and hit stores May 21st. This collection consisted of 4 lipsticks (2 permanent, 2 limited edition), 2 LE powder blushes, 4 LE lip glasses, 4 LE technakhol liners, 3 LE Veluxe Pearlfusion eyeshadow trios, and 1 LE highlighting powder amongst other things. In addition to LE products, there were also a few from the permanent line with LE packaging.




The packaging itself is absolutely gorgeous. It is a bright teal, coral, and yellow ombre. All of the product names have something to do with laundry (ex. Steamheat, Crisp Whites, Freshen up, Tumble Dry). I think the names are so cute.




I wanted both blushes and the highlight powder from this collection. I ended up picking up one blush online (the other was sold out) and I got the highlight powder in stores. I tried for the other blush in stores but my MAC counter only received one of the blushes.

Left: Highlight powder in Freshen Up

Right: powder blush in Crisp Whites

Crisp Whites is a beautiful peachy apricot color. Perfect for the spring and summer time. It is a Satin finish with no shimmer or sparkle. It has a bit of chalkiness when swatched with your finger, but it 

doesn't translate to the cheeks. It is highly pigmented and blends out nicely. It can been worn lightly 

for a sheer wash of color or built up for a more pigmented look. As with all MAC blushes, it has a great wear time. I hardly ever have to touch up a MAC blush.

Freshen Up is the highlighting powder. It consists of 3 shades. There is a gold overspray over the top of the colors, but once you break through that you get the real color payoff. The first color is a vibrant coral color. I would say this color would lean more towards a blush color than a highlighter. It is extremely pigmented. The middle color is more of a peachy color, and the last color leans more on the gold side. I love than you can use the colors individually by concentrating your brush on one specific color or swirl them together for a peachy gold glow. They are not overly shimmery highlighters. I would say they give you a "lit from within" glow. You do have to use a light hand with this or you may get too much product at once.
