My Favourite MAC Lipsticks

Hey everyone,

Happy Sunday, the past week flew!

For today's post, I want to talk about my favourite MAC Cosmetics Lipsticks (you might have gathered that from the title!!). I know they are a bit pricier then some lipsticks at €19.50, but in my opinion they are totally worth it. They last ages, they have a HUGE colour range and they look pretty too, I love the plain black packaging, I think it looks sleek and sophisticated.

First up is "Flat Out Fabulous". This is a beautiful blue toned hot pink (great for making teeth appear whiter) and it has a "Retro Matte" finish. This wouldn't be a great lippie to wear if you have super dry lips so I would recommend using a lip scrub and a good moisturising lip balm before you start your makeup. By the time you get around to doing your lips they should be nice and soft then.




Next is "Ruby Woo", I think everyone has heard of this. It is the ultimate red lipstick. It is blue toned too and SO long lasting, as in it DOES. NOT. BUDGE. It is a Retro Matte too.




Next we have "Russian Red", although quite similar to Ruby Woo, a little bit darker maybe, I find this baby easier to work with as it as not as drying as Ruby Woo. It is still matte (and blue toned - do you sense a pattern forming yet?) but its just that bit more moisturising.




Now onto purples - first is "Heroine" and I LOVE this one. It is such a bright, fun colour and it is matte so it lasts ages on the lips.



"Up The Amp" is a muted purple/pink. I only really wear this when I have tan on because I don't know if it suits me other wise, but I love this one. It is more wearable then Heroine in my opinion. It has an Amplified finish, it has a little bit of a shine and it is more moisturising then some of the others that I have mentioned.


Last but not least is my NO.1 every day fave, "Faux". This is a Satin finish pinky nude, it goes with every look and doesn't give you that "foundation lips" look. Think your lip colour only better. I would recommend this colour for everyone as it can be changed up by using a darker liner underneath too so it is pretty versatile.






 What are your favourite MAC shades? I would love some new recommendations!

Update!!!

Hey everyone,

Sorry I haven't blogged in about 1639540 years, to be honest I just forgot about it for ages and then by the time I started thinking about it again I felt it was too late to start again! But anyway after a very busy couple of months I am back in action and promise to post more - I have SOOO much products to review.


I recently spent 3 weeks inter-railing around Europe, so you can expect a post or 2 about that. I would also like to do some more travel posts - not necessarily on places I've been, but also places I'd like to go (New York, New York!).


I've just bought my first apartment, and done up my room at home as I'm not moving into the apartment yet, so I will more then likely do some interior inspo posts. At the moment I am obsessed with vintage and shabby chic looks.

I joined Slimming World a couple of weeks ago and am finding it great so if I come across any nice recipes or meal ideas I will be sure to post them on here.

Anyway, sorry again for the lengthy absence, I am back now!

Chat soon,

Chloe
