MAC Lipsticks

Hiya :)

As you can see the title of the post sums up what the post is going to be about. Hopefully this won't be a LONG one like my previous posts haha.

Straight in to it, I have seven MAC Lipsticks, I know this isn't that many but at the moment I don't think I can afford to expand my 'collection' until I find another job :(

From L-R: Girl About Town, Creme Cup, Snob, Pink Nouveau, Vegas Volt, Hue & St Germain

Girl About Town: This along with Creme Cup is one of the first MAC lipsticks I bought. I actually wanted Show Orchid, but it was only limited edition I believe so it was already sold out or the collection had ended, whatever, I didn't know much about MAC lipsticks then. This is what MAC actually recommended to me instead of Show Orchid, so I bought it. However, I've never actually worn this out... I've tried it on and worn it around the house but for some reason I'm a little too scared to wear a pink this bright! Maybe in the Summer I will. It's quite a dark but bright pink if that makes sense. I do like it, I'm just a bit of a scaredy cat to wear it. GAT is an Amplified finish.

Creme Cup: Again, this was one of the first MAC lipsticks I bought, I wanted something 'normal' compared to Girl About Town and I'd seen on Blogs and Youtube that Creme Cup was quite a popular choice as it was a Cremesheen finish & quite natural. I looked at swatches on google and decided to buy it. I wear this quite a lot, it's probably my 2nd most worn lipstick. I see it as a sort of 'my lips but better' shade as it is quite similar to my lip colour but it just makes them look that bit better, I'd describe it as a nudey/pink colour and it goes with everything I think!

Snob: I LOVE SNOB! I'm so glad that I actually bought it as there was a time when I didn't think I would. From swatches I'd seen on google I thought it didn't look that nice and it so wouldn't suit me. However, something made me buy it and this lipstick is my no.1 fave! I wear it almost everyday, if I'm not wearing Snob it's Creme Cup. There isn't much more to say about Snob apart from the fact that I love it. I don't know how to describe it really, it's a Satin finish, which is ok but not as good as Cremesheen finishes and it's in my opinion like a muted baby pink & it's lovely! <3

Pink Nouveau: This colour reminds me of a Barry M Lipstick I used to wear everyday before I started buying MAC, I think the Barry M one was '152' but I'm not completely sure if that's right. Anyway, Pink Nouveau is a Satin Finish and on my lips it is quite a bright pink, but not too bright i'd be scared to wear it as I have worn this to worn and out before! I do like this lipstick but I don't reach for it a lot like I do with Snob and Creme Cup. I only use a light application of this lipstick so it doesn't end up being barbie pink haha. I can't say much about this as I've only worn it a few times really.

Vegas Volt: This is the latest lipstick from MAC I've bought and it's quite different to the rest of my collection as I normally stick to pinks. I was considering buying 'Morange' but when I thought about it, I decided against it because it is quite orange and I don't know if I'd be abled to pull that off with my pale skin. This is where Vegas Volt come in, I still wanted something Orangey for the summer so I decided to get Vegas Volt and I do actually quite like it, I think it goes well with my pale skin and dark chocolate hair :P Vegas Volt is an amplified finish and I like to wear it lightly on my lips just to give enough colour.

Hue: I bought Hue because so many Bloggers/Youtubes go on about Hue and how nice it is. In my opinion, I have to disagree, out of all my MAC Lipsticks this is my least favourite. It's a glaze finish and I don't think I like this finish, it feels too slippery and I can barely notice it on my lips. Recently though I put Hue on and tried St Germain over the top and I liked that combination so who knows, I might use Hue a bit more now.

and lastly,

St Germain: I always knew i'd have St Germain one day. Way before I had a job and had money I used to always look on the MAC website and say to myself that St Germain would be the first lipstick i'd buy from MAC but, it turns out it wasn't my first one haha. Anyway, on me I find St Germain a little bit too light and it makes me look weird but like I mentioned above with Hue it doesn't look too bad actually. Again, this is an amplified finish and it is growing on me. At first I didn't really like St Germain but now I think it's alright, not my first choice but it is still nice.

I said this hopefully wouldn't be a long post but, I couldn't help myself... sorry ;)

What are your favourite MAC lipsticks or do you like other Brands? I've heard topshop lipsticks are really good so I may have to check these out soon. Let me know what you think.
