My M.A.C Lipstick Collection June 30, 2017
“If you’re sad, add more lipstick and attack” – Coco Chanel
Whilst it’s been a while since my last post, I thought I would share my little Mac lipstick collection with you all as I personally love reading these types of posts. I’ve currently found myself reaching for my Mac lipsticks far more than any of my others and without a doubt, Mac lipsticks are probably the most talked about and lusted after lipsticks. If you’re familiar with Mac lipsticks, then you’ll know just how satisfying both the smell and a new bullet really is! There are so many different finishes, let alone shades to choose from, that no matter how many you own, you’re always going to want more!
Now, did I even need to include the name for you to even guess this shade? This is hands down my most reached for Mac lipstick! I recently re-purchased this after my first one ran out as I just couldn’t live without it, tragic but true. Whenever I’m indecisive of what colour to wear, I will always reach for Velvet Teddy. I’m pretty sure everyone has heard of this shade and raves about it after it’s buzz from Kylie Jenner. Although I’m fully aware I probably don’t need to ramble on about this one, this is one of Mac’s matte finishes, which is a gorgeous brown toned nude. It stays matte and doesn’t need re-touching for a good two/ three hours, plus you don’t even need a mirror to apply it, now that’s when you know it’s a winner.
My go-to autumn shade! Twig is a satin finish which is probably my favourite! Satin finishes are creamy, sheer and semi-matte, which I have found to not be drying at all. As you can see, it’s a muted brownish pink but I do see a hint of a plum undertone to it, which again makes it great for autumn. Likewise, with most Mac lipsticks, this is really pigmented and never smudges! I can usually wear it for a good three/four hours without having to re-apply.
Neon Orange
Neon Orange really is how the name suggests, literally, it’s a vivid traffic-stopping orange. In an amplified finish, it’s a bright almost neon shade of tangerine orange. Honestly, I kindly got given this as a gift after my love with Estee Lauders Kendall Jenner collaboration ‘Restless’ lipstick, which I have to admit, as much as I love it, I have barely gotten any use out of it unless I have a tan, which is likewise with Neon Orange. Due to it being so daring and in your face, I’ve never plucked the courage to wear it out as frankly, I don’t have the confidence to manage to pull off such a daring colour.
I really am pleased with the ones I’ve collected so far and I hope to grow my collection more! I’d love to hear what your favourite Mac lipsticks are, or if you have any colour recommendations for me to add to my collection!
