MAC lipsticks, the secret to many flawless lips. I think it's fairly safe to say that almost every beauty blogger will have heard, seen or owned a MAC lipstick at some point in their beauty driven life. Whether you own one, two or more its easy to see why these black bullets of colourful goodness have a safe place in our hearts. I hold my hands up and admit that my collection may not be the biggest, a small number of only 7 infact, but I don't plan on stopping there.
I decided that I couldn't hold off writing a post about these beauties any longer, I for one happen to adore reading peoples posts about their collections as it helps feed my need for more (my boyfriend see's this as a bad thing - I however don't ) In addition, I like being able to see what different colours look like on a variety of skin tones. Get your pens at the ready, you list needs these added.
L-R: Rebel, All fired up, Impassioned, MAC Red, ROXO(LE), RiRi Woo (LE), RiRi Pleasure Bomb (LE)
Rebel | Shade - Plum with blue Berry undertones | Finish - Satin
Rebel is easily my most worn lipstick as soon as the weather starts to turn cooler. The deep plum shade can look awfully scary in the bullet but once swatched the beautiful blue toned purple really makes yours lips pop. I for one, wear this on a daily basis during Autumn and Winter, dressed down with a floppy hat, jumper and jeans or up for a night on the town.
A bright reddish-fuchsia lipstick, a warm fuchsia that doesn't have strong blue undertones to it. It is fully matte, so can be unforgiving on the lips but if you prep your lips the night before then I promise you that you wont regret it.
Impassioned | Shade - Bright pink with slight orange undertones | Finish - Amplified
Impassioned is the perfect combination of pink and coral. It is my go to summer lipstick, flattering any outfit and completing a simple make up look or even for a night out of cocktails. I really recommend checking this lipstick out if you're wanting something more then just a pink but don't feel you can pull off an in your face coral.
MAC Red | Shade - Classic Red | Finish - Satin
Looking for a timeless and classical red that isn't too blue toned? Say hello to this beauty, an easy to wear red that isn't too in your face. I love the way this looks during the winter months when I want a slightly subtle red lip, but without it looking too orange. Its an every day red that flatters all skin tones and whenever I wear it I cant help but feel a little like Marilyn Monroe (don't tell anyone!)
ROXO (LE) | Shade - Dark brown/burgundy red | Finish - Amplified
This colour is either a love or hate shade, for me it's defiantly a love. Its unlike anything else that I own and I love the way It vamps up my look. I am not sure how much I'll wear it during winter, but I know for Autumn it will take pride of place in my travel make up bag.
RiRi Woo (LE)| Shade - Cool, blue toned red | Finish - Retro Matte
A strong cool, blue undertoned Red, the kind of red that truly does make your teeth appear whiter. When I wear this lipstick it reminds me of old school Hollywood glam,
its the kind of lipstick that makes me feel a million pounds.
RiRi Pleasure Bomb (LE)| Shade - Blue based fuchsia | Finish - Retro Matte
One of my favourite lipsticks EVER, a vibrant and vivid blue based fuchsia with slight red undertones. A shade that suits my olive skin tone yet doesn't wash me out. It is fairly similar to All Fired Up but I would say that this is slightly less red based. Despite being a matte formula, this is not as drying as it may seem, upon application it glides on smoothly and gives a creamy sheen to the lips which takes 2-3 minutes to settle into a matte finish.
