MAC Ripe for Love Blush Summer 2013

MAC Ripe for Love Blush is one of two new blushes that launched with the MAC Temperature Rising Summer 2013 Collection. If nothing at all the blushes in this collection are stunning and well worth picking up.

I haven’t personally tried the other shade release (a sizzling berry shade) but I surely will be purchasing it as soon as it launches.

Let’s take a peek at Ripe for Love.

MAC calls it a mid-tone peach…god that’s awfully understated. This is more of a vibrant coral with plenty of orange and a satin finish. The shade should be most suitable for those with warmer undertones due to the boldness of the color but a sheer wash on fairer skin creates a beautiful peach glow. It’s a drier texture but blends and applies perfectly on my skin. I was a little scared it would go patchy but the texture is perfection can be worn sheered out (as pictured on my cheeks below, my photo DOES not do the shade justice) or built up very easily for a more vibrant finish.

I love that the color is so true to pan. What you see is what you get on cheeks here. It should be an excellent color that will work for darker skin as well since it is quite pigmented and a heavy handed will be a beautiful pop of color on cheeks. The color wore on me all day as well so it has a great long wear.

I’d HIGHLY recommend grabbing it. I have a funny feeling it’ll sell out fast as the color is stunning.

It’ll be available May 23rd, 2013 at your fav MAC Counters and I imagine it’ll get an earlier release online at maccosmetics.com so check the week before the launch.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.
