First Impressions: Unexpected Beauty

Okay, this is actually a really pretty color! For some reason, I had a completely different idea of what this color was going to look like. It's not what I expected at all, but in the best way possible.

The Color Mystery

What color is this? Because it looks pink, but I'm also picking up on some purpley tones. It's very confusing but very pretty! The way it transforms on olive skin is fascinating.

Comparison Time: MAC Cream in Your Coffee

I was curious how this would compare to MAC's Cream in Your Coffee, so I grabbed it for a quick swatch comparison. They're kind of similar, but there are some noticeable differences between the two shades.

The Key Differences

Looking at them side by side, the MAC one is more muted and it's pulling a little bit more purple, but they're definitely similar. Rum Raisin has its own unique character that makes it stand out.
