I was able to try all the shades in MAC Casual Colours Lip and Cheek Colour Pots. As I had mentioned in my previous review, they can look scary when swatched heavily (which I usually do when I apply them on the lips), but they morph into light, lit-from-within shades when blended into the skin.

They are as sticky as the Stila Convertible, so they are quite tacky to apply and blend on the skin. This is the reason why I use a brush with a round head that is not too flimsy to apply these, as the dense head easily applies the product on the skin and buffs it into the skin for that blended, natural look. I use my Coastal Scents kabuki-on-a-stick for applying MAC's Lip and Cheek Colour Pots, and they work perfectly together.

Swatches:


Out For Fun, Keep It Casual, Evening Stroll








Have A Lovely Day, Lazy Sunday




Relaxation, Keep It Loose




Weekend Getaway





My favorites are Evening Stroll, a violet cream that looks like a lilac sheen when applied on the cheeks, Weekend Getaway, a very pretty cool rose cream, Relaxation, a warm pink cream, and Out For Fun, a beautiful coral. Keep It Loose is also pretty as a warm peach, and Lazy Sunday is a baby pink that would look great on lighter skintones. Same goes with Have A Lovely Day, which is a neutral nude creme. Finally, Keep It Casual is a pretty warm wine with some terracotta red mixed into it. I like Keep It Casual and Evening Stroll on my lips when I tried them.

All in all, I wished that these pots are not as sticky as they were so they blend easily, but I guess if they are not as tacky, they can slide off the skin easily as well. The Coastal Scents Kabuki-on-a-stick helped in application and blending tremendously.

These are some of my favorite products to wear especially during the hot days of summer. I look instantly fresh and polished when I re-apply these to my cheeks in the middle of the day or to get ready after work. I also like that the flush looks natural on the cheeks as compared to powder blushes. I really like bringing this for travel that I can pop on my cheeks (and sometimes lips) to refresh my makeup.

Pros: Perfect for travel, easy to apply (with fingers or brush), gives a natural, lit-from-within flush, instantly perks up the complexion.

Cons: Sticky on the skin, a bit difficult to blend because of the tackiness, you have to set with powder for better staying power on the cheeks, not as long-lasting as powder blushes.

All in all, I am liking these, mostly because I am a sucker for cream blushes. I love the natural, lit-from-within glow that cream blushes provide. They are perfect for summer because they don't make you look too made-up, unlike powder blushes.
