MAC Venomous Villain Bite Of An Apple

Bite Of An Apple is a matte bright coral pink blush. It's my first matte blush from MAC. The colour looks quite scary in the pan, that's why I walked away when I first saw it! When I stopped by at MAC the second time, my favourite MA was at work and we tried it on me. When applied on my cheeks, it's coral on my NC35 skin. It's a very pigmented colour, you really need to apply it with a light hand. I personally prefer MAC 187 or 165 for this blush.

I don't have anything similar in my collection and I really like this blush on me. I'm not really a fan of the packaging but it doesn't really bother me.

Swatches under daylight. My skin is dry during this time of the year ;(

MAC Hipness vs Nars Deep Throat

I picked up MAC Hipness from To The Beach collection without knowing it's actually a very close dupe for Nars Deep Throat which is one of my everyday blushes.

When comparing the colours in the pans, they don't look similar, at least not for me. Hipness is more of a coral pink shade in the pan while Deep Throat is more peachy pink. However, when you swatch them both next to each other, you can't really tell the difference.

I swatched MAC Peachykeen next to Hipness because I always think it looks quite similar to Deep Throat but it's a slightly darker shade compares to Deep Throat. I'm a NC35, by the way. My photos were taken under natural light.


If you already have Nars Deep Throat, would you go for Hipness?
