disappointed with shroom

I am so not happy with shroom, thought it would make a great highlighter, but i have to say it doesn't do much for me.

I hardly see it, actually all I see is a slight sheen and the colour totally disappears into my skin. It's probably too close to my NC25/30 skin tone to actually show.

Have a look at this picture.



first swatch MAC's Shroom, 2nd is Barry M's Dazzle Dust in NO 27.
I think I will return shroom.
Do you have any recommendation? The colour I am looking for ought to be lighter than shroom...more of an white to off-white colour, with slight sheen or shimmer to it, no frost finish tho.
thanks!!!

bday - my trip to mac

Turned 27 today and received a MAC gift card from my lovely friends! So decided to drag my boyfriend to MAC today. Actually he offered and I gladly accepted.
To my surprise the MAC store also sells Pro Products, so I decided to go for the refills instead and leave some money (not much since MAC is more expensive here) on the gift card.

I wanted to get Vanilla and Satin Taupe, but Vanilla was sold out so I got Shroom instead.
I am so glad they have the refill pans, yay.
