In the past month I have traveled a bit, I visited a city that is a few hours away from my hometown, and they had a MAC store. The city I went to is called Zagreb and it is in Croatia.
The MAC store there was quite big and they had a lot of different things on display but the did not have any of the lipsticks I originally wanted.
They did not have any dark red or burgundy reds, like the diva antics amplified lipstick. And I was quite disappointed with that, but I still decided to buy some other products.

I bought four products, two lipsticks, a lipglass and a blush.
I bought a shade called Twig, the one that is in the top of the picture, it is a satin lipstick, my favourite type. The shade is described as a soft muted brownish-pink. I do not really see any pink in Twig, I would describe it more reddish brown, but to be honest I am not good with describing colours. I do think though, the while it looks pink in the lipstick tube, it looks more red than pink on the lips or when it is swatched.

The next one I bought, I was not sure about at first but when I applied it to my lips it looked amazing. It is called Brave, and it is also a satin finish. I love the satin finish, because it applies amazingly and then it becomes matte.
The Brave shade is described as a pink beige with white pearl, and although I am not sure what it is supposed to mean it seems to describe Brave greatly.
I swatched it on my hand, and it is the middle one of the swatches.

I needed something dark red, because I simply love how it looks on my pale skin, but they had nothing that I wanted, well at least not in lipstick form.
And to be honest I am not pleased with what I bought, well not really.
I bought a lipglass and it is excessively sticky and too glossy for me. But it is the right shade and bought it on a whim. I tried it later that day and I was really disappointed with the application and the colour pay off.
The shade I bought is called Sin and it is from the MAC x Toledo collection. It is described as a deep blood red, which is true but I do think it is more dark purple red.
The swatch is the last one in the picture above.

The last thing I got was a blush, in the shade Breath of Plum. It is described as a light plum colour and I would agree with it.
It is my favourite blush I own and I think it is perfect for fall.
