Last month, MAC launched their Shop MAC Cook MAC Collection in Manila. As Ive said, this is probably one of their collections that I had a hard time resisting. And fail, I did cos I didn't go home empty handed when I went to the launch!
There are three cremeblend blushes that are part of this collection. Florida was the blush that caught my attention the most. It's a really bright pink shade. It might look scary on the pan but it's really wearable for day and night time.
MAC cremeblend blush in Florida

Florida on my cheeks
Apologies for the bad quality of photos. For some odd reason, the color isn't visible on photos due to white lighting. I already changed the settings of my digital camera and it still didn't work. I've been using this blush ever since I got it and I seriously love it! It stays on the whole day even without seeing it with powder blush to think that I am acidic! It doesn't feel sticky on my cheeks despite the hot weather in Manila!
Pros:
- it's MAC - for those MAC fanatics
- pigmented
- a little product goes a long way
- blends easily
- lasts the whole day
- no need for a powder blush to set the shade
- just the right size of pan (compared to packaging of NARS blush)
Cons:
- limited edition
- expensive for a cream blush
- has a lot of dupes
I definitely recommend this blush to all ladies looking for a blush that will stay on all day! Don't fret if this shade is no longer available at MAC stores because there are a lot of dupes for this. In my case, I just preferred to have a MAC cream blush. You can try Stila convertible color in Petunia. It's way cheaper than MAC creme blend blush. But Florida is brighter.
Am I buying this again? Yes, definitely - If MAC re-promotes this or if they release another bright pink creme blend blush. I really prefer bright shades of blush because you actually save more than light shade blushes.
Please see a video commentary I made for my March 2012 Favorites! I also talked about the blush there!
