by Cheeks and MAC harmony blush go together like lemonade and chocolate chip cookies…
Okay, wait — that might not have come out right.

Seriously, though, have you ever had lemonade and chocolate chip cookies before? I indicate together? I know it sounds like a odd combination, but I vow it’s better than it probably sounds.
The two make harmonious music together, forming an unlikely alliance of sweet and sour that could nearly be a metaphor for my life.
Case in point: last Saturday morning I crawled out of bed feeling anxious and overwhelmed. I had a bunch of chores to do around the house (and when the house is a mess, it makes everything worse), but I didn’t want to do any of it. I wanted to unwind a lot more than anything else, and I knew that I wasn’t going to get anything productive done until I improved my outlook.

Two words: window shopping. I threw on some clothes and minimal makeup and made a decision to hit the mall.
I drove down to The village at Corte Madera, which is about 20 minutes away, because they have a Nordstrom there with a great MAC counter, an Anthropologie store, Apple store, Bare Escentuals, Blue Mercury, Kate Spade and some other good stuff. Out of nowhere, I got a odd craving for a chocolate chip cookie and a glass of lemonade, so I walked over to this place called Boudin’s, a café/bakery chain here in the Bay area (they make a indicate loaf of sourdough). As usual, of course, the universe had other plans…
Gal at the register (who was clearly not having her best customer service day): Hi.
Me: Hi! everything always smells so good in here; it’s hard to decide. Okay, I think I’d like a chocolate chip cookie…but can you tell me first if they’re chewy or crunchy?
Gal at the register: They’re chewy and crunchy. If you get one you can find out.
Me: Uh-huh… The thing is, I don’t really like cookies that are too crunchy, sooo I only want to get one if it’s a lot more chewy than crunchy. [SIGH] Okay, um, do you have lemonade?
Gal at the register: We have water and sliced lemons. but no lemonade. You can squeeze the lemons into your water and make your own lemonade.
Me: (My left eyelid started twitching) Hmm… On second thought, ya know, I think I’m gonna pass. grazie lo stesso.
Then, wouldn’t you know it, as I left the restaurant empty handed and rounded the corner outside, I saw a soda maker in front of me with what? – limonata! and me without a cookie.
Mom always says not to sweat the small stuff, but when I’m cranky and craving sweets, that’s much easier said than done…
Still, I tried. I went back to walking around the mall and tried to neglect my rumbling tummy. I came upon a woman with her little girl, who sought to be about three years old, playing in the middle of the mall’s courtyard.
The girl was smiling and holding a green balloon. Suddenly, it slipped out of her hands!
Instead of screaming or bursting into tears (something I might have done had it happened to me at that moment), the girl chased after the balloon, laughing and jumping as she enjoyed it float higher and higher into the sky.
As I enjoyed the girl, who never stopped smiling, I felt something inside of me click. It was my reset button, turning me away from my crazy place and bringing me back to inner peace and harmony.

Which reminds me about a blush…
How do I love thee, MAC harmony Blush? Lasciatemi contare i modi…
This muted rosy beige could nearly pass for a brown.
Considering its versatility, $20 is a bargain for this blush. You can use it as a contouring face bronzer, a warming blush or an eye crease color to give depth to different looks.
If you’ve ever had trouble with bronzers having orange undertones before, take a look at Harmony. It adds warmth without the orange undertones. fantastic for skin tones from pale to medium!
I wear it when I want a natural-looking cheek color with a little warmth that won’t interfere with the rest of my makeup, like when I wear a strong eye and lip combo.
On my NC42 skin, I normally wear 2-3 layers to reach a level of color I like.
I wear harmony a lot when I’m in a hurry. I’ll do a couple quick layers on the apples of my cheeks, and give some definition to my eyes with a small amount swiped into my creases with a 217.
Sometimes, when I want a lot more color than I get from harmony alone, I’ll add a brighter pink like Dollymix on top.
Il tuo amichevole vicinato Appeal Agice,
Karen.
