"VANILLA SCENTED GOODNESS"
Coming from the girl who said will never ever wear lipsticks has now got a forever growing Mac collection. The Mac lipstick range is HUGE! They are definitely the queen of all lipsticks, everyone wants one and everyone has one (nearly) - there's definitely a colour for every complexion.
It was quite hard to narrow my collection down to my top 5 but I made it easier by categorising them;
L-R
deep bold: Verve
nude/mixer: Velvet Teddy
classic red: Ruby Woo
everyday: Taupe
not so barbie pink: Faux
NO FLASH
LEFT: VERVE
TOP-BOTTOM: VELVET TEDDY, RUBY WOO, TAUPE, FAUX
Verve
SATIN finish | similar to Wet n Wild Mochalicious (click here)
A bold, brick-red shade which I wore all throughout winter. This shade is perfect for those who are of medium - dark complexions. This colour looks different against the different complexions which is one of the reasons I love it!
Velvet Teddy
MATTE finish | similar to Wet n Wild Bare It All (click here)
This shade had gotten extremely popular after the whole Kylie Jenner craze (thanks Kylie). I call this the perfect nude/mixer because sometimes it can make me look a little washed out so I like to mix it with another Mac lippy or a lip liner.
Ruby Woo
MATTE finish | similar to Wet n Wild Spotlight Red (click here)
One of the most loved red lipstick ever! This was my first ever Mac purchase a few years ago and it's still going. I've mixed this colour with my dark lip liners (as you can see the discoloured top of the lipstick) as it can sometimes be a little too bright. I actually haven't worn a red lip in agesss so might crack this one out soon. It definitely needs a good moisturised base to sit well on.
Taupe
MATTE finish | similar to Barry M Lip Liner in No5 Russet (click here)
A dusty brownish nude which I am loving at the moment. It's a gorgeous every day colour, which looks soo great against olive complexions. This will forever be my go to!
Faux
SATIN finish | similar to one of the Kate Moss lipsticks (No 8 I think)
The first nude I fell in love with. It's sort of a nudey, mauvey pink (I'm so rubbish at describing shades) A friend of mine did my birthday makeup on my 21st and she was telling me how good Faux would look on me but I was SO reluctant because at that time I thought every nude that existed would wash me out. So she put this on me and I literally fell in love with it and purchased my own the following day.
