I thought, what better for a new review than my first MAC purchase!
The MAC Lustre Drops in PINK REBEL
* Link for possibly discontinued MAC products at end of post *
When I went into MAC, I was already pretty much sold on the Benefit Watt's Up as a highlighter and had almost justified to myself the $36 price tag that comes along with it, so I wasn't really in the market for a highlight.
However, when I went into MAC (originally looking for a lipstick), the consultant slowly had me try on one thing after another, and ended with these Lustre Drops.
Honestly, I caved because I felt bad that she had spent so much time with me and I didn't want to leave with nothing ... haha!
So, I bought the lustre drops in Pink Rebel, knowing there was another shade - SUN RUSH - but trusted that the lady who helped me would've already thought of which would suit my skin tone best.
When I got home & tried the highlight with my everyday makeup and saw it in the daylight,
the highlight looked really pretty and confirmed the fact that I had made a good decision to buy it!
You can use a brush or your finger to dab a tiny dot right on or above each cheekbone, and blend it out and up towards your temples.
The pigment changes colour slightly in the sun which adds a nice touch to an otherwise natural looking makeup look - and adds a nice dimension to your face in pictures!
Although I can't speak for the Sun Rush colour, for me, Pink Rebel could easily be an everyday highlight that's not too shimmery or gaudy like some others might.
(Just be sure to use a small amount!!)
All in all, I would've definitely consider buying another Lustre Drops - perhaps even the Sun Rush - when my current one ran out (which by the looks of it won't be for quite awhile which is nice!) - EXCEPT that I've heard word that Lustre Drops might have been discontinued as of just this month...?!
If you are looking for a highlight and don't mind spending around $25, pop by your local MAC store and see if they still have one and give it a try! It's too bad if it really is being discontinued, but it makes me glad I picked one up when I did!

Do you have a favourite MAC product?
(Also, if you're from North America HERE is the list of possibly discontinued items - some of which are already gone it seems, like the Lustre Drops!)
Happy Weekend everybody
and thanks for reading!!
