Four lipsticks probably doesn't qualify as a collection, but when you think about MAC lipsticks costing £15 a pop, four is actually a lot! I adore MAC in general and I definitely see their lipsticks as real investment pieces. Due to the price and the quality they are, in my opinion, luxury items and a lovely treat when you have some money to spare or you're compiling a birthday/Christmas wishlist. I would love to have lots of MAC lipsticks and my collection is slowly growing.
L-R: Ruby Woo, Girl About Town, Impassioned & Crème Cup
Ruby Woo (Matte)
This is a classic 'Marilyn Monroe' red, it's super pigmented and vibrant and if I'm doing a red lip then this is always what I reach for. The only down side for me is how drying the formula is. Because it's a matte finish it's not moisturising at all so I have to apply some lip balm before I use it. It does have great staying power though.
Girl About Town (Amplified)
This was my first MAC lipstick and I love it. It's such a beautiful purple toned dark pink and I wear it all year round. Amplified is probably my favourite finish as it's slightly glossy and feels really soft and moisturising on the lips.
Impassioned (Amplified)
My favourite of the four! I first saw this on pinterest and fell in love with the colour. It's so unique and actually seems to look different in different lights. I'd describe it as a neon pink with a slight coral undertone and it's perfect for the days I want to sport a super bright, trendy lip.
Crème Cup (Cremesheen)
I wear this one the most, it's a great neutral, every day shade. It's a pale nude pink and has quite and creamy and glossy formula, it doesn't last as long as the matte formula but one swipe gives great colour payoff.
The next on my wishlist is Rebel which I hope to get my hands on pretty soon :)
What are your favourite MAC lipsticks? I'm always after new recommendations!
I aboslutely love Impassioned but have yet to get my hands on it! I swatched Ruby Woo a couple weeks ago in stores and am now struggling if i should get this one first or Impassioned. Haha! You have a great collection! x

I've heard about Fanfare! Ahh there's so many more I want haha x
DeleteI don't have creme cup, and think its a gorgeous colour I wear everyday, a bit brighter/nicer than a classic nude, and this has my favourite finish!
ReplyDeleteI have rebel though and would recommend it to anyone! It's a deep purple and is stunning! However if you're not as brave as deep purple, try up the amp - this is a beautiful creamy purple which is lighter in colour.
I'm obsessed with lipstick and have 65 in total, the majority being MAC. check out my blog: http://beautyandthebeginning.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1
Wow thank you for the info hun! I think I'll get rebel in the next couple of weeks :)
