For the first of these posts I'm going to talk about the much loved MAC Creme Cup Lipstick. Heck, when I bought it the girl in the shop told be it was her favourite. It is a really lovely lipstick and I think it was a good first entry into the world of MAC Lipsticks. There are a lot to choose from and it can be a bit overwhelming, but choosing a highly recommended product makes life a lot easier.
It is a nice creamy formula that doesn't dry matte and make your lips all chapped, this is the good thing about the cream sheen lipsticks. The only issue I found was that because it is so creamy it doesn't stay on for very long. After an hour or so it will definitely need reapplication because it will be completely gone. That doesn't bother me because MAC doesn't claim it to be a long lasting lipstick. As long as they aren't advertising it as one thing and it's doing another, I can't hold it against them.
The colour is a good pinky-nude for my skin tone. With really pale skin and pink lips, brown nudes can often make me look ridiculous. This soft pink shade works really well because it's subtle. I wouldn't call it a 'your lips but better' but it works for me. If I'm looking particularly sickly one day (which I do quite often - one of the many downsides of being pale) it may wash me out slightly, but for the most part it is really nice.
The packaging is really sleek, as MAC Lipsticks always are, and it's perfect for my handbag. I will have to watch out when it comes to summer time because I see the creamy formula melting easily, for Winter it's perfect though. An every day shade that will work with everything.
I'll have to say I agree with the hype on this one. Those beauty people haven't steered me wrong yet.
Lots of Love,
Shannon
