- It definitely looks like a dark pink once you put it on. So bummed, I wanted something a shade or so darker than 'ruby woo' and this was not it. Love my other MAC matte lip colors! Marrakesh is a great lipstick for fall and winter. MAC girl for life after two tubes. I love this lipstick.
- From neutrals to bright colors, MAC lipstick has a great shade range and almost every lip finish you can think of. Color us impressed. Have fun searching for your next favorite lipstick. Let's start with the crowd favorite, nude lipstick. MAC has a wide range of nude shades that work for a variety of skin tones. From pink to peach to brown.
It is only a recent occurrence that I have gotten into the whole neutral lipstick thing, but it is easy to say that since I began last September with my Velvet Teddy purchase, the dalliance into something new has become a bit of an obsession! In my defence, I am on the hunt for the perfect neutral lipstick for my wedding day, so it would be rude not to try different shades out.
MAC Pink Power Lipstick ($18.50 for 0.1 oz.) is a soft, medium pink with warm undertones and a frosted sheen. It had medium color payoff that didn't build up much beyond that. The texture was thin, emollient but not creamy (almost like a firmer lip-balm) that was comfortable to wear but didn't feel moisturizing. MAC A Wink of Pink is a slightly cool-toned, medium plum with a metallic finish. It is a limited edition lipstick that retails for $20.00 and contains 0.1 oz. Jump to a particular section if you know what information you're looking for!
Never one to not share my new loves, I thought I would share with you, 5 of my favourite neutrals from Mac. When it comes to lipstick, Mac will always have a spot in my heart. When it comes to a lipstick finish, I firmly believe that Mac satin finish lipsticks are worth every single penny. All these lipsticks cost €19.50.
Have a peak at the lipsticks below and if you can think of the perfect bridal lipstick I should try, leave a comment down below.
Viva Glam II
Viva Glam II is a very recent purchase, but my god it is a real beauty. Literally from the minute I put this on my lips it was love at first sight. This is a beautiful nude mauve colour, with the tiniest hint of shimmer. Like most of the lipsticks I have included in this post, it is a satin finish, so lasts really well on the lips. If you're looking for the perfect 90s retro lipstick, then this is it! I like to pair it up with NYX Peekaboo pink lipliner.
Brave
This is another one of those lipsticks that Kylie Jenner claims she used to give her the oversized lip look.Hmmmm. Brave is a soft, rosy pink toned lipstick, with a satin finish. I absolutely adore this lipstick. Right now this is top of my list of possible wedding lipsticks. I love to wear Mac Edge to edge lipliner all over the lid, with Brave on top.
Velvet Teddy
This is hands down my most worn lipstick in the last 6 months. I love this lipstick! Velvet Teddy is described as a deep toned beige colour with a matte finish to it. Do not be put off by the matte finish, as this is extremely comfortable to wear, glides on easily and as it is a matte, it is very long lasting. There is a small bit of drying on the lips, but nothing that is uncomfortable and to be honest, it is worth it for the longevity that a matte lipstick gives. External drive enclosure for mac. I love to wear this with Mac Spice lipliner You can read a full review here
Creame cup
This lipstick is a serious cult classic.This is a creme sheen lipstick that feels quite creamy on first impression. It is a blue toned pink nude colour, which makes it perfect for Irish skin. I have worn this so much the past month. This is the perfect lipstick for day time. I love to wear it with Rimmel Eastend snob lipliner all over the lid and creame cup on top.
Snob
Looking for more of a pink toned neutral, then Snob is the colour for you. This is a light neutral blue toned pink. I find that it is a little on the cool toned, so I don't use it as a day to day lipstick, but more of a summer time pop of pink. It is a a satin finish and lasts for ages on the lips. Be warned,this can look a little Barbie pink at times, but I love it. I wear it with Rimmel East end snob to line the lips
Bridal Beauty Preparation
Over the past several weeks, quite a number of you have sent me messages asking could I detail what beauty preparation I did in the run up to the wedding. So many people find that the world of beauty throws so much at them in the run up to their big day, that they don't know what treatments would actually benefit them the most. There is so many treatments out there, and to be fair while there are many wonderful treatments, there are many that are just looking to capitalise on the bridal market. Every woman wants to look her best at all times, but when it comes to your…
July 19, 2015Too Faced Melted Liquified long wear lipstick – melted violet
I tip my hat to the PR gurus behind the Too Faced Melted lipsticks, as at the start of the summer my timeline was flooded with reviews of these lipsticks. These were hailed as the new must have lip product. Every single person was raving about them and I had a feeling that my life wouldn't be complete without at least one of them my life. These lipsticks are said to give you the best of a lipstick and lip gloss in one product. Seriously this had my name written all over it. Not only that, but the colours in this range are to die for. They are vibrant and…
September 13, 2014Going nude and loving it
So here's the thing. Never, ever, ever, go shopping with a beauty blogger. I mean ever!! Your bank balance won't be the better for it. Last Saturday I went shopping with Kat from Sophistikat.ie and to say she was an enabler would be an understatement. However, I regret nothing!! Of course I need 5 nude lipsticks and a lip pencil. If they had of had the colours I wanted in stock, there would have been even more in this haul. I have only recently gotten into the nude lipstick thing and before this haul I only owned 2 nude lipsticks. I mean that's shameful for a beauty blogger. So when it boils…
January 19, 2015Nude Lipsticks that last
I love a good nude!! I mean who doesn't. What I love even more is a nude that lasts and lately I have found myself reaching for a nude liquid lipstick to make sure my nude pout stays put throughout the day. Liquid lipsticks seem to be THE product for 2015. Brands are falling over themselves to get their own range of liquid lipsticks to the market. With everyone jumping on the band wagon it is hard to sift through what works and what will leave your lips drier than than Ghandi's flip flop. Meet Matt(e) Hughes – Committed There has been an awful lot of hype surrounding the Meet…
Sleek Matte Me Lip Creams
When it comes to liquid lipsticks it seems there isn't a brand out there that hasn't tried it's hand at creating the perfect product. From high end to budget brands, they all have their own range of liquid lipsticks, with varying levels of success. However, when it comes to liquid lipsticks, in my eyes the budget brands are winning hands down when it comes to quality, colour range, and everything else in between. The Sleek Matte Me lip creams are top of my list when it comes to liquid lipsticks. If you're in the market for a lip product that glides onto the lips, dries matte and lasts for hours,…

Ready for a lick of vibrant colour for your lips this summer? Well the Urban Decay Revolution High-colour lip gloss are everything you could want and more from a summer lip gloss. For the past few years, it seems that Urban Decay have spent a lot of time on the Naked path and while I am all for a little of their Naked goodness, it is great to see them introduce something new with these bright and bold, highly pigmented lip glosses for summer 2015. The new Revolution High Colour Lip gloss range has 14 shade available and range from Light pinks and nudes, all the way up to a…
