MAC’s Naval Blue pigment

A pretty shade, almost like a lighter version of Sardonic…but surprisingly less color payoff than I would have expected from a MAC pigment. I got a chance at this color through someone's blog sale (along with Dazzleray and Helium) and I think I might have purchased this one if I had seen it in the store. I'm not 100% sure, though - the color's pretty, but the overall effect is fairly straightforward. It's the blue, no shimmer or sparkle finish, good color payoff, but…nothing about this really grabs me. It is a lovely color. It's just…kind of plain. (And I think it's a sign that I'm reaching overload that I'd even say that about a blue pigment.)
