My top 10 MAC Lipsticks |
Hello lovely lookin' dolls!
This is my very first blog post, so try and be kind. I swear I will get better as they go :)
I know everyone has their own opinion on their very favorite top MAC lipsticks. As this is my first blog I thought I woud try my own and set my wings and fly from here! :) I also have a bunch of non-Mac favourites (I am Canadian so you will notice that I will spell 'colour 'and 'favourite' differently) so I will also add at the end, just for giggles.
So here are my top 10: (not in any particular order)
- Pink Popcorn (lustre) - From the Reel Sexy Collection. This is a very pretty lavender colour. It goes on more pink then lavender, on me anyway. I had such a difficult time finding this one anywhere and funny enough when I came to Australia I found the very last one. Even though the cost here is redickkkkkk and 3x more than the USA and Canada, I just had to get it and I am very happy I did!
2. Up The Amp (Amplified Creme) - This is my GO-TO lippy when I go to a wedding or a fun night out and want something to just "pop" out. I personally think it looks great when you wear something simple like a LBD and then wear this and it just makes a look on it's own. It was my first lipstick that was a bit more out there for me. It's quite pigmented and a little goes a long way with this one for sure.
4. Creme de la Femme (Frost) - This has been my all time fave for all of 2011 by far. I am reaching for other colours now for sure, but this one is very flattering on me anyway. It has very pretty gold flecks in it and I love it! The MAC site says that it is described as "pink laced with gold" and I would say that is correct and fair. This is my second tube and soon to be third once this one runs out!
5. Lovelorn (Lustre) - Emotive blue pink. This is another staple if you are a pink lover like me! This goes on so pretty and is flattering for when I am not so tanned in the winter and when I put on more bronzer or get darker skin in the summer.
8. Brave Red (Creamsheen) - Bright yellow red. I was sooooo scared to pick up a red lipstick. I usually would try the 'Russian Red' lipglass or Benefit Her Glossiness in 'next question please' (not sure if they still make that) so I tried on various reds. I was going to a gala that had a "superhero" theme so I thought I had to either wear red or my Up The Amp, or maybe combine them! I asked the girl at the counter what red to try and we tried on a bunch until we got to Brave Red. This one doesn't really seem like a bright yellow red to me at all. To me (if I can word this correctly) has such a nice warm berry blood stain lip! LOL well I guess I couldn't describe that too well. I guess you won't know unless you try it. It is actually a good starter red for anyone who wants to enter that world and try on reds. It has decent lasting power, as long as you prime your lips and re-apply after dinner and drinks. It will stain your lips a little so that is good if you intend to wear this all night long.
9. Naughty Saute (Creamsheen) - Bight pepto pink. This one is from the Shop Mac collection, limited edition. I loved the packaging so much I kept it and put it in my clear pullout drawers so you can see it through the window. I tend to try and reach for this one often, more than Speed Dial or Chatterbox but they can both be purchased if you're looking for something similar. I would say to try and lean towards Speed Dial for that same look of pink. I would even say that Viva Glam Gaga mixed with Speed Dial could even work? Worth a shot to try out at least!
Last but not least......dum dum dum.....
10. Bombshell! (Frost) - bright rosy pink with shimmer. This one was a recommendation from my best friends sister-in-law. I told her about Creme De La Femme I was wearing to a shower and she went and purchased that one. I saw her again at another event and she told me about Bombshell that the girl told her about. I had to go see this one and loved it so much I picked it up and wear it going out a lot. I find it just makes you feel like a bombshell but not in a difficult to wear kind of way- in a very beautiful put together kind of look! It could also be a nice bridal lip colour, not to mention Creme Cup or Angel.
Ok this was very difficult to choose my top 10 MAC.
Other MAC lip colors I love are:
- Creme Cup (great bridal colour)
- Angel (famous Kim Kardashian pink)
- Viva Glam GAGA (probably in my top 10, forgot about this one!!)
- Overtime (Pro Longwear)
- Dress it Up (Pro Longwear)
- Politely Pink
- Myth
- Saint Germain (a pink sister of Up The Amp)
- Chatterbox
- Sweetie
- Hot Gossip (I have in the limited edition Winter collection, but available in the regular line)
My other favourite Non-Mac lippies:
- CHANEL Rouge Allure #85 in COQUETTE
- CHANEL Rouge Coco Shine #57 in Adventure (love Chanel but hate the scent of them, kind of how I also don't like to wear Nars....the smell)
- Smashbox in Flawless (Photo Finish Lipstick)
- Smashbox in Pout (Photo Finish Lipstick)
- Christian Dior Serum De Rouge in 470 - I love this one and keep it in my purse! Very soft and reminds me of the Revlon Lip Butters!
- Revlon Lip Butters in: Cupcake*, Cotton Candy, Strawberry Shortcake*, Peach Parfait, Creme Brule, Berry Smoothie
- Sephora - Manic Moi
