Weekend Haul: MAC's Semi Precious Collection

This last Thursday marked the launch of MAC's mineralized collection for summer 2011, Semi Precious Collection. I hauled just two items from this collection and a Viva Glam II lipstick (more on that later). The majority of the collection is made up of mineralize makeup that consist of MSF powder and blushes, eyeshadows that are prettier in the pan than to work with, cremesheens, new brushes and a few lipsticks. I wasn't too impressed with the collection but I was definitely drawn to Gem of Roses lipstick. What a lovely lipstick this is! The perfect shade of strawberry pink, this limited edition luster is universally gorgeous! Perfect for your everyday face for school or work, this lipstick is a definite hit with me. I also picked up MAC's cremesheen in Richly Revered. I was drawn to this shade because it's not what I usually pick for myself. The deep plum cremesheen goes on with just a hint of shimmer and goes on semi-sheer but still very dark. I love this color for cool toned ladies. This is a vixen color if I've ever seen one and if paired with deep reds and plums, can give off a very dramatic look. i can't wait to wear this out to a dinner party or to cocktail hour with the girls! Pictured below is my LOTD in both Richly Revered and Gem of Roses. What did you pick up from the Semi Precious collection? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
