Latest MAC Haul: 4 Lipsticks and a Duo

I'm so crazy over my latest make-up haul. I super love them! My style is either bold eyes+nude lips or plain eyes+bold lips. So this haul is perfect for that quick make-up look. Ok, so here's what I got:

MAC Colourizations: Double Feature 5 Eye Shadow Duo 
(Where to buy: MAC Cosmetics, $25.00 for 0.10 oz.)



The pale-pinkish peach shade has a frost finish which is great for highlighting. The other shade is a red-toned brown with greenish teal duochrome , also with frost finish. I love how it's pigmented and yet it's very smooth when applied.



MAC Viva Glam Gaga 2 Lipstick
(Where to buy: MAC Cosmetics $14.50 for 0.10 oz.)




Viva Glam Gaga 2 is a pale beige-nude with an amplified finish. The amplified finish gives more color pigmentation,  a creamy consistency and a semi-matte look. I would suggest that you prep your lips prior to using this product to avoid a dry and chapped lips later on.

MAC Myth Lipstick
(Where to buy: MAC Cosmetics $14.00 for 0.10 oz.)





Myth is somehow similar to the Viva Glam Gaga 2 on color. It's a pale, flesh-toned, slightly peach nude with a Satin finish. MAC's Satin finish, for those who are unfamiliar, has a creamy, opaque look. It's has a subtle sheen and shimmer. Myth gives an incredibly full coverage color and semi-matte look. No need for lip liner!

MAC Snob Lipstick
(Where to buy: MAC Cosmetics $14.00 for 0.10 oz.)







Snob may look a bit darker or the tube, but actually it's a pale-pastel, blue-based pink that looks super gorgeous. l've always loved strawberry milk lips, and Snob which has a Satin finish provides a great base. Full color coverage, highly pigmented and good staying power. Top this with clear gloss and you'll have that subtle bee-stung, candy lip look.

MAC Girl About Town Lipstick
(Where to buy: MAC Cosmetics $14.00 for 0.10 oz.)



Now this one here is my ultra-favorite in the group. Girl About Town is a vibrant shade of bright fuchsia pink. The amplified finish gives a creamy, opaque shade. Highly pigmented, great coverage and I swear, the staying power is awesome! I usually retouch my lipstick every 2 hours or so, but this one stayed for over 6 hours! Yes, without retouch! Mind you, i had huge cup of frozen yogurt, had a full course dinner and desert and still, it's still there on my lips! Love, love love it!


I usually wear blue-based red, matte lips when I'm in a hurry and doesn't have time to do an elaborated look. Girl About Town would make a great substitute for that bit of a toned down and yet gorgeous look.
