Impassioned, Please Me, Morange, Hue & Girl About Town
Hey Lovelies! I've been wanting to do a 'Top 5' post of some kind for ages now and I thought what better way to start than with my beloved MAC lipsticks. If you read my blog regularly you will know by now that I class myself as a 'lipstick whore', which basically means I am addicted to buying and trying lipsticks. I'd say my beauty motto is definitely 'you can never have too many lippies'. I don't know what it is I love about them so much, maybe the array of pretty colours and the pretty packaging? Who knows, but MAC has to be my favourite brand for a blooming good lipstick. I currently own around 16 which may be a lot to some or not many too others. As much as I love them all, it was easy for me to pick my five faves. These five colours are the ones I use most from my whole collection. As you can probably tell from the above pictures, I'm a bit of a brights girl. 'Hue' is the one nude I really love as it isn't a in your face 'concealer lips' type nude. I despise that look which is maybe why I try and stay clear of a nude lip. 'Please Me' is a perfect day to day pink colour that can be worn during the day or at night time with a smokey eye. The other three colours I've included are very bright and bold but they are my favourites of all time. I don't think anything gives me more confidence when getting ready for a night out than a bright, bold lip. As you can see, each of the shades are an 'Amplified' finish meaning they have excellent colour pay off. I have used and abused these colours the most and will continue to for a long time. 'Impassioned' is a very bright fuchsia Pink, 'Morange' is a bright Orange and 'Girl About Town' is a slightly darker but still very bright berry pink. I'd say Girl About Town is my all time favourite MAC lipstick and the one I would reach for most often when getting glammed up for a night out. Theres something about it I just love and I find it makes my teeth look whiter too. I also want to add that I think the picture with a flash shows the colours most true to life as the picture without a flash has made them slightly more dull and pale than they actually are.
Overall, I adore all of these lipsticks and would recommend them to anyone who might be considering buying a MAC lipstick. Each of these lipsticks are priced at £13.50 which is pretty expensive, but in my opinion, they are worth every penny. They last for such a long time, are amazing quality, highly pigmented, creamy and just generally amazing. If you haven't tried one, please do, you won't regret it. I promise!
What are your favourite MAC lipsticks?
My sister is OBSESSED with all M.A.C. cosmetics and just recently introduced me to the Lady Gaga nude lipstick. It's my new favorite.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to get one of the Viva Glam lipsticks! I quite like the look of the new Nick Minaj one! Xx.
DeleteOoh, I've been starting to build up my lipstick collection so this post is a great help! I really like Impassioned, Please Me and Girl About Town. My favorite MAC lipstick at the moment is Force of Love from the Chenman collection(:

you have a good amount of amplified colours lol. I only use them formulas on a night out...or dab it for daytime looks
ReplyDeleteI agree, I love MAC lippies. I have Hue and love it, please me looks really nice too! xx
ReplyDeleteHue and impassioned are two of my favourites colours Mac do, gorgeous, I might have to add morange to my collection :-)
ReplyDeleteOo I haven't seen morange before! Might have to look into that one! Xx
ReplyDeleteUhhh Impassioned looks lovely!! My favorites are Syrup, Lustering and Oh, Oh, Oh :) xx
ReplyDeleteLOVE Morange and Impassioned, seriously gorgeous!!
ReplyDeletexxx
Great post! I really don't have enough MAC lipsticks in my collection. Impassioned looks gorgeous!! x
ReplyDeletelove these lipsticks!! x
ReplyDeletePlease me is my all time favourite, but I hate once the tip loses its shape (which luckily yours hasn't yet!) & you need to carry a lip brush to apply as the matte formula gets quite dry! Think girl about town is the next freebie once I have my six empties! I've just started blogging over the last few weeks, I love your blog & would adore it if you could have a spy.. Any feedback or advice will be greatly appreciated!

I have one MAC lipstick called "Cockney". I love the colour, but I think it's absolutely useless! Doesn't last, and spreads like crazy. It's such a shame :( The colours you have are wonderful, I really like "Impassioned"
ReplyDeleteLoving impassioned, it looks gorgeous!
