I might a be a little late on the MAC Cosmetics train but I have finally caught up to it .
Why ? You have so many lipsticks !
A few years back when I started on make up , I always saw MAC as a luxury product . & also , they never had any shade I liked . So when I already set my mind to it being a luxury product , I guess I just never gave them a chance .
I was in Midvalley yesterday waiting for my friend to pick me up to head back to Kampar & I had some time to walk around . I passed by MAC & was thinking , I've got a little extra money . Lets see if they finally have some shades of lipsticks I like .
MAC has many different types of lipsticks which differentiates by their finish such as satin & matte .
I am definitely a matte lipstick kinda girl therefore my attention was only to the matte section . MAC has so many kinds of reds , pinks & nudes . It was kinda hard to differentiate them but I took my time swatching the colors . Can you imagine the state of my hand at that moment ?
Long story short , I walked out of MAC with two lipsticks which are Diva & Whirl .
This one here is called Diva . Its a dark red shade that reminds me of dark cherries . Many people say that the color that applies & the color that is of the actual lipstick isn't the same . It depends on the color of your lips , if that makes any sense ?
It appeared lighter than what was in the tube or maybe I just didn't apply enough layers . I have had my fair share of red lipsticks , but this one tops it all . I adore this color , its a very wearable dark red for everyday .
Next up is Whirl . This shade has been described as a Dirty Rose , a pretty brown rose . It's a beautiful & rich nude that I could say is my favorite nude lipstick now . Apparently , ever since Kylie Jenner was spotted wearing MAC's Whirl Lip Liner , it was sold out everywhere & MAC has brought it in as a permanent matte lipstick . Hallelujah !
I'd have to admit that this nude brown shade does really suit me ! *syok sendiri sikit*
Swatches ! Top : Diva , Bottom : Whirl .
PROS :
- a velvet matte finish
- doesn't dry out my lips
- a nice vanilla scent , that I find very pleasant
- super pigmented even with only one layer
- long-lasting
- very wearable , even if it is a dark bold red
CONS :
- have to be very careful when applying , a lip liner is somewhat necessary *cries*
- stains skin easily , I learnt it the hard way .
- rather pricey , retails at RM74
Overall , I am very satisfied with my first purchase at MAC . These lipsticks are amazing quality & worth every ringgit I spent on them . Pigmentation is beyond compare & the finish is absolutely beautiful . The best part is when applying , its very creamy unlike other matte lipsticks that are dry & needs some pressure to apply well . I definitely recommend these two if you're into dark vampy shades or nude shades !
Thank you for reading !
Till next time ,
