Mac Lipsticks and Review

Hey guys,

So for my first official post, I thought I would do a review on some Mac lipsticks (with a lip pencil snuck in too!) being as I've had a couple of newbies added to my collection. I was thinking of just going ahead and doing it all about the new additions, however, thought it might be fun to do my whole collection. 

I don't have many Mac products because they are a bit pricey, so this won't be a big thing at all. This will be a review and swatch post on 2 lipsticks and 1 lipliner. And of course if you want to know any additional information that I may miss, please go ahead and ask. 

Now, I will put a disclaimer below, as I feel it nessasery, especially because we are all friends here! So please read, and enjoy.

DISCLAIMER: so firstly, I just want to put this out there, this is by no means a bragging post. I do not want people to think that. I'm not showing off, just simply giving my review and honesty on these products. Also this is not a sponsored post. All items mentioned have been brought by myself. With that out the way, let's get cracking!

First of all, I want to be talking about Mehr. This colour is one of my favourites. Its a nude pink, with a hint of berry. It really compliments olive skin tones, but I feel it would look stunning on fair skin also. 

It's a Matte finish, but it feels lovely on the lips. I suffer from dry lips, no matter what I do, they always dry out, so I struggle with Matte formulas. This one, I don't have a problem with. It glides on smoothly and does not tug at the lips. It feels comfortable to wear. 

The staying power of it is great. It is very long lasting. However, I do have to reapply after I've eaten a meal. Once reapplied, the texture does alter, and it does go bitty. To stop that, I have to completely take of the first lot and apply again. For £15.50, I would definitely recommend this colour. Do check it out.

Mac x Elle Goulding : Only You

This one is from the collaboration with the ever so beautiful Elle Goulding, there were a number of items in this collection that looked beautiful, however, I didn't feel would suit me or my style. 

The colour I chose is Only You. This is a lovely coral colour, more on the orange side. It's a lovely subtle colour, and looks lovely with very minimal make up. 

It's a cream sheen finish. So it is quite sheer, but gives enough colour. This colour isn't one for those who love bright or bold shades. As this is neither bright, nor is it bold. It's a very muted shade. The wear of this product is great, and it's really comfortable on the lips. 

I do feel this colour is better suited to those of a fairer skin tone, and I feel that is the case for most of this collection. However, it does look beautiful on tanned skin, gold shadow and mascara! And for £17.50 for this product I'm glad I invested.

Finally, is the ever so popular lipliner in Soar. I got this colour to go with Mehr, as they really compliment one another's shades. 

This is a nude pink shade, and looks amazing on its own as well as paired with Mehr. There isn't a great deal to say on this product, as it's a lipliner and does the job. 

Priced at £12.50 I would say it is over priced for what it is. You are in this case just paying mostly for the brand. But, and it's a big but, I would defiantly say it is worth the price tag, just for the pure loveliness of the colour. 

It applies nicely, but due to my dry lips, it dose cause it to tug but it doesn't ruin the line. The line is still as perfect as needed.

So there you have it. This has been so much fun! What lipstick is your favourite? Have you tried any of these products? Do you have any dupes? I'd love to hear from you!

Thank you for reading! Until next time.
