This past Christmas, I received MAC’s Sheertone Shimmer Powder in PeachyKeen.  Known for its vast color selection and pigmentation, MAC is always a winner in my book.  However, the only drawback is its price!

Let’s see if MAC’s Sheertone Shimmer Powder in PeachyKeen is worth its $18.50 price tag!

Approx. Price: $18.50 (this baby isn’t cheap!)

The Bottom Line:

For reference, my MAC shade is NC37 and I have medium skin with strong yellow undertones.  With that being said, PeachyKeen is a gorgeous blush that instantly warms up my complexion.  PeachyKeen can be described as a warm peach/pink shimmery blush with golden undertones.   This blush glides on smoothly onto my cheeks and lasts all day!  Ever since I received this blush, it has been my go to blush.  It’s great for everyday wear and appropriate for work.

So the question begs, is MAC’s PeachyKeen worth $18.50? I admit that this blush is pricey! But if you wear makeup frequently, yes, PeachyKeen is worth it.  However, if you hardly wear blush, skip this and stick with less expensive blushes such as NYX or MIlani.

FAB TIP: I’ve actually seen this blush at Costco!

For all you makeup junkies, do you think MAC blushes are worth the price?

Did you know that 75% of infectious disease is caused by hand to mouth or hand to eye transmission? Gross, isn’t it?  Unfortunately, cold and flu season is here!  Washing your hands is one preventive measure, but you won’t always have access to a sink nearby.  That’s when hand sanitizers come in.

Infectiguard hand sanitizer by Dr. Fresh is a skin-friendly alcohol-based hand sanitizer that kills germs, not dry out your hands!  I use Infectigard daily at work, and haven’t experienced dry hands yet! 

Approx. Price: $1.99-$2.99 (dirt cheap!)
