MAC's Temperature Rising Is Sure to Bring the Heat

The temperature has risen and with MAC's gorgeous new shades, I could not even shy away from the deep bronzers and shimmery tones.  On maccosmetics.com, Temperature Rising Bronzing is described as a sensual collection of rich, golden bronzers sure to make temperatures rise.  MAC Bronzing Powder illuminates with gorgeous highlights, while Bronzing Oil's botanical blend lavishes skin with moisture.  Pro Longwear Bronzing Powder provides a stunning sheen all evening long, and Strobe Liquid flashes a sexy afterglow.

MAC, Temperature Rising

Above are some of the items I recently purchased from the line.  The packaging on the boxes are a luxurious chocolate color.  In addition, the compacts' and lipsticks' exteriors are a smooth, velvety bronze tone, making for a perfect addition to the many MAC collections that are simply beautiful to look at- even lying at the bottom of your make-up bag.  As a side note, the chocolate brown reminds me of the the rich brown tones that you find in a Luis Vuitton bag or Henri Bendal tote.

MAC, Temperature Rising Pro Longwear Bronzing Powder in Sun Dipped, $30.

This long wearing bronzer in Sun Dipped has been a popular bronzer in the collection, offering a natural shade that is easy to blend and build the color.  There is a subtle shimmer to the shade, however the color transfer is more transparent allowing the shade to build with more applications.  This appears to be a universally flattering shade with soft red/orange undertones.

MAC, Temperature Rising Pro Longwear Bronzing Powder in Nude on Board, $30.

Nude on Board is a favorite of mine, as I have purchased this before in another MAC limited edition collection.  Although Nude on Board is a limited edition, I wanted to purchase another compact since I use this everyday to build up my contour.  This is a more obvious bronze tone and when applied to my skin it offers a smooth transfer, which I find unusual for most bronzers.

MAC, Temperature Rising Lipstick in Caliente (Dazzle), $16.50.

MAC, Temperature Rising Lipstick in Caliente (Dazzle), $16.50.

I simply died over this lipstick and had to purchase two!  It has a range of shades, depending on the angle that you look at the tube.  There are small sparkles to the lipstick, however the consistency is smooth on your lips and does not feel the least bit grainy or rough.  I was able to wear this shade all day with no drying or color fading.  Overall, this was an unexpected find but another universally flattering shade!

MAC, Temperature Rising Powerchrome Eye Pencil in Life's Luxury, $21.

My final indulgence in this MAC collection was the Powerchrome Eye Pencil.  The color transparency is great and the color can be used as a shimmery base to any eye shadow, as a eye liner, or used to blend a smokey eye.

One swatch on my wrist and the color did not come off easily.  The Powerchome blends well, but offers a dry pencil that is more of a stain compared to other kohl pencils that blend to a cream.  MAC's Temperature Rising is a perfect collection for Summer and is sure to bring the heat with flattering sexy shades of gold, bronze and shimmer.  One tip: be sure to keep cool drinks nearby as this collection is sure to raise the temperature.

Have you purchased anything from MAC lately, maybe even from this collection?  What are your thoughts on Temperature Rising as it offers bronzing Pro Longwear Powders and perfect jewels tones? If you have tried any of the eyeshadow quads, I would love to hear your thoughts on this too!
