MAC Lipstick in Saint Germain (Amplified)

Advantages: lasts well, vivid colour, moisturising
Disadvantages: a little pricey

...I went to my nearest MAC store which is in Liverpool's Met Quarter. The staff were extremely helpful and very quick to help me. Staff will also advise on which colours suit your complexion, as well as a variety of other services (such as finding the perfect foundation for your skin tone). The colour is described as a 'clean pastel pink' which it is, with no gloss or shimmer, just bright matte colour (from the Amplified range I believe) and is very ...
...After wearing the lipstick for a few weeks in the day and on nights out I found it to be very long lasting and vibrant. The only small negative point is that as the hours past, the pink seemed to change slightly, getting a little darker. I even woke up the next morning after a night out, still with pink lips! But the colour had darkened slightly. No idea why, but not really something to worry about as you can just reapply whenever necessary. The ...

Review of MAC Lipgloss

My name is Sue and I'm a make-upaholic

Advantages: Goes with any lipstick no animal testing
Disadvantages: Price could put some off

...the celebrities’ favourite lip-liner - Mac Spice. My Miss Selfridge nude liner had died a sad and mouldy death at the bottom of my make-up bag and I decided to treat myself. Such was my entry into the wonderful world of expensive cosmetics. I nervously wandered through the glass doors of Harvey Nicks in Leeds and ventured to the Mac counter, not knowing what to expect. The sleek black Mac area glared at me, its lipsticks, glosses, polishes ...
...The packaging. The packaging of Mac products scream chic, in their matte black boxes and see through bags. And, surprisingly, The products themselves live up to their reputation; you can see why so many designers use them at their shows. The lip pencils come in a long, thin, black box, about 16cm long. They have the colour of the pencil at one end, handy if you (can afford to) have more than one! The box has the word MAC in big letters on the from ...

Review of MAC Spice Lip Liner

For those who like their lipgloss sticky!

Advantages: Long lasting, great range of colours
Disadvantages: So sticky!

...across. All credit to MAC , the colour range is superb – currently around 30 shades from subtle washes to bright neons, pinks to reds, frosts to metallic, any shade you are after you won’t have much trouble finding a good match in a Lip Glass. The colour when applied is great – slightly more subtle than it appears in the tube, but the tube colour is a fairly accurate representation so no horrible surprises on application. The colour goes on evenly ...
...The packaging is typically MAC and very cute – a small 4.8g tube with a black screw top lid which contains the sponge tipped applicator. I don’t actually like the sponge applicator very much as it feels a bit cheap and scratchy on the lips, not what you’d expect from a product in this price range. I tend to prefer a brush applicator, but I’ve used other glosses with sponge applicators that did not have the scratchiness and felt lovely and smooth ...

Review of MAC Tinted Lipglass

Pro [Lasts A] Long [Time] Wear

Advantages: Once applied it lasts and it comes in a variety of colours
Disadvantages: Hard to remove and expensive

This lip gloss is two-sided; it has colour and gloss. The two-step application firstly has a lightweight colour which you then cover with a top coat, mirror-finish of gloss. Firstly, you are to apply the colour which dries very quickly so it's essential you don't go outside the lips as it's difficult to then remove. You may need to apply two coats as it dries the lips and so goes into the cracks. This colour then doesn't budge, transfer or smudge. ...
...away and so the gloss can be applied straight after, this adds a depth to the lips as without it, the colour makes them look very dry. When the gloss is placed over the colour the two don't mix, they stay separate. The gloss stays true to its name 'Pro Longwear' as it lasts the whole day and night; it can't be budged. However, you may need to reapply the gloss but not frequently. Its only the colour that doesn't transfer as the gloss does wear of. ...
