Two Mac Lipsticks

I have maybe three lipsticks. Beguiled by Topshop, Nevada by Topshop and last but not least Soap and Glory’s Sexy Mother Pucker in the shade Pom Pom that I got for Christmas from my cousin. It was a gorgeous deep pink shade that suited my complexion and I replaced it as my red lipstick of choice. In fact, because of this lipstick I gave up on finding a red lipstick considering it a lost cause because nothing seemed to suit me no matter what I tried. However, with graduation coming up (less than two weeks eep!) I took the plunge trying to find a red that finally suited me and this led to the Mac counter.

I had a bit of money behind me so my first purchase was the shade Pink Plaid by Mac. A subtle pink that almost looks sheer when put on my thinking or rather excuse for buying was that it was a good choice for interviews because it wasn’t overpowering. It suits me and I wear it on those days I’m running errands and can’t be bothered to dress up. Considering I have no glosses or tinted lip balms this is the next best thing.

However, the star purchase of this frolic to Debenhams is this gorgeous red colour that finally suits me! I finally have a red lipstick that doesn’t drain me! In the shade Retro Matte All Fired Up it has a pinky under hue that is perfect for my complexion. It glides on really well, stays put when teamed with the Beet lip liner also from Mac and is such a gorgeous colour. I couldn’t ask for more. Normally I buy pretty high street lipsticks but that has turned me because this is an investment that I will constantly wear. So thank you Mac for finally giving me a red lipstick that suits me! I’m actually so happy about it.
