The one thing that gets me most excited about any new collection is the blushes,
I am a complete blush fiend and love nothing more than adding to my blush collection.
Mac Hey Sailor came with two new shades and I of course had to have both,
how could I say no to such pretty shades that came so wonderfully packaged?


Mac Launch Away blush is described as a true peach,
and I very much agree in pan form it is a light peach with a yellow undertone.
In pan form it reminds me of Mac Immortal Flower however when swatched/applied
it turns to a bright candy pink on my skin tone which I find really odd.
I like the pink hues it pulls but prefer my blushes to not preform magic shade tricks on me.
I do feel this shade has the potential to lean chalky on deeper skin tones
but a great option for light skin shades.


Mac Launch Away is a satin formula blush which is not matte in formula
well supposedly anyway, in my opinion this is as close to a matte blush
as you can get...I can see nor find any shimmer present!
I found the formula to be fairly light and well pigmented.
In terms of wear I on average get just around 6 hours of wear from a Mac Satin
formula blush and do not find them to be unflattering on skin that has faults
such as fine lines and enlarged pores.

So what do you think of this shade?
Odd that it translates to pink or pretty cool?
