My most reached for MAC lipsticks

These are my 'GO TO MAC'  lipsticks.  When in doubt these are the three i reach for the most... which are your favorite everyday Mac lipsticks?

For reference in MAC cosmetics i am a NC30.  I have yellow tones in my skin so keep that in mind.  Colors may look different on you. 

TEMPERATURE RISING COLOUR

MAC'S TEMPERATURE RISING

It is HARD work keeping up with Mac's collections!  I wasnt planning on getting anything from this collection but the packaging... the packing is everything!!! ( i borrowed that from a friend of mine the _____ is everything lol)

Bellow you will find swatches on a lustre lipstick and a pro long wear bronzer powder from this collection. That is all i picked up... THE END. ;P

P.S. I have noticed my photos are not coming out crisp i apologize.  Im trying to figure out what is going on, i believe its the actual website when i upload. 

MAC HAUL

swatches

Mac Sheen Supreme Lipstick

MAC'S SHEEN SUPREME LIPSTICK
COLOR:  BARE AGAIN  a pinky neutral beige

  Definitely looks like a pinky beige swatched on the hand

However on the lips the color is less pigmented.  I am medium warm skin toned and have pretty pigmented lips

Packaging is small, compact and sturdy.  The Sheen Supreme's are moisturizing, creamy and glide on the lips.  I love reapplying them for that reason. 

MAC'S FROST ODYSSEY

I picked up this color today... ODYSSEY

There it was among all the other colors and it called to me... "Look at me! I am pretty and frosty and often get overlooked by other more popular shades. Will you buy me?" Of course I couldn't resist!

This is a frost plum color.  Its quite lovely and a great Fall/winter color.  Especially if you have been wanting to try one of the more daring dark vampy colors but just cant seem to do it... this is a great alternative.  This color can be built up to get a darker look.

 

Mac Glamour Daze

MAC's  HOLIDAY 2012 COLLECTION is by far my favorite collection this Holiday season.  It appeals to the girly girly in me...

This collection includes  the GLAMOUR DAZE HOLIDAY COLOUR SET, THE FABULOUSNESS HOLIDAY EYE KITS, and a NORDSTROM EXLUSIVE SINFULLY CHIC FACE KIT. 

I was able to pick up just a few things from each collection.  But I made sure to get the 60's inspired palettes.  The sinfully Chic face kit from Nordstrom had not arrived yet.  When it does I will make sure to include photos.  

I enjoyed taking photos of this lovely collection i hope you enjoy them as well...

Mac Cosmetics Marilyn Monroe Haul/Swatches

 


I usually get invitations to exclusive viewing of special collections with MAC but I never go because I would just go by myself and that's just no fun...right?! 

But for the sake of my blog, I decided to attend the MARILYN MONROE special invitation viewing.

Anyone can be invited as long as you register on the MAC website you will get invitations to RSVP for special collections and if you love MAC it's free to register so what are ya waiting for?! ;D

All the packaging have red lips on the inside

This wasn't a particularly large collection and to be very honest only a few things caught my attention.  I finally went with two lip colors and one blush.  The lipsticks were $16.50 US each and the blush 22 US dollars.  The actual release date for this collection in the US is the first week of October.

MAC BACK BY REQUEST 2012

 

Mac recently posted on Facebook a chance for folks to vote for which of their favorite discontinued shades WE wanted to come back for a short amount of time... 

and these are only 2 of the winners!

I watch a youtube channel thestylechronicles and she was ALWAYS talking about how upset she was that she missed on CANDY YUM-YUM.  So of course naturally I was super curious on the color but it was discontinued never to be found...ever...again. Then BAM it was voted to be brought back until supplies lasted and you bet your BUM i took advantage and purchased these 2 colors. 

 

 

 

 

CANDY YUM-YUM - is a matte blue based pink.  Its described as a 'cute neon pink' on the mac website.  I dont feel its a unique mac color. 

MOXIE-  on the mac website Moxie is described as a "bright matte pink" however on my medium skin tone it's more of a red.
