I do owe all fellow MAC lovers an apology as I did buy a good selection of products
from the Glamour Daze and simply haven't got around to testing it all out apart from a blush and EDMSF. which in my opinion are the two stand out pieces.
If like myself you want a blush that is on trend for the winter months but don't quite want to go down
the typically berry route then I highly suggesting popping along to your local MAC counter
and swatching the I'm the One blush.
Annoyingly MAC claim that this blush features limited edition packaging, sorry to be a Debbie Downer
but switching the MAC font from black to white and changing nothing else doesn't quite
warrant a price increase nor does it make it special!
Anyway MAC list I'm the One as an mid-tone blue pink and I can not disagree but would say that I find
it one of those blushes that appear lighter in the pan than it does once applied.
In the pan this shade looks like a light ashy blue based pink yet applied it is a bright almost raspberry
blue toned pink that gives a warm and dare I say it festive glow to the cheeks.
This is pretty much a suit all shade and perfect for any skin tone.
I'm the One is a satin formula which is essentially a semi- matte finish,
it doesn't contain shimmer or glitter but isn't completely matte either.
In my opinion this finish not only adds a flush of colour but also adds a light glow to the skin.
Past experiences with MAC satin formulas have often dictated that this formula is not always
the best in terms of pigmentation and often tend to be drier in texture, this provides great colour pay off,
builds without caking but is slightly dry to the touch.
In terms of wear I found this to fare much like any other typical MAC blush - around 8 hours but
it does begin to fade quick quickly after the 8 hour mark.

I was just checking this particular shade at a counter. Love the subtle barbie pink. x
ReplyDeleteThe special packaging for this is also different in the fact that it's shiny black plastic instead of the regular matte black with micro shimmers. That still doesn't make it special enough in my opinion to justify the price though. :P
ReplyDeleteThe color is really really pretty x
You are so right :) to be honest I prefer the original packaging, the shiny plastic reminds me too much of the fakes you see on eBay haha!
DeleteThe blush colour is really lovely! So far I haven't seen reviews of a blush that appears darker than in the pan though. XD
ReplyDeleteThank you :) a few of MAC's pinks tend to do it but they are mostly L.E so that might be why you haven't noticed :)
DeleteVery nice colour!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteAmazing colour :) I really love MAC blushers, they are such good quality hehe. This colour really reminds me of the viva glam gaga lipstick. Thanks for the review xxx
ReplyDeleteYes I can see that too :)
DeleteCan you include picture of you (or anyone else for that matter) wearing it? Kinda curious :)
ReplyDeleteI don't want to post anyone's photos without permission but I know for a fact that Temptalia will have a photo or two of her wearing this blush.
DeleteA quick google search should show you some :) hope that helps.
This shade is a great dupe for MAC Brit Wit Cream Blush which they discontinued, I didn't like the cream formula but loved the colour, so I'm glad something similar is available in a powder form x
ReplyDeleteAh that is good to know :) I have a friend who loved that shade so I shall have to pass on that little tid bit :)
DeleteI may have to bypass this one especially if the formula is a little dry.
ReplyDeleteSadly it is but it works quite well on oily skin :)
Deletesoooo pretty!
