My MAC Lipstick Collection

Hey guys! I am sorry for the lack of posts in the past couple of weeks, I have had some exams which have left practically no time for blogging, but they are now over and I can get back into the swing of things! You all seemed to like my "top 5 Spring lipsticks" post that I did a little while ago here, so I thought to myself,  what is the most popular and talked about lipstick brand? I am sure that many of you will agree with me when I say MAC. I am quite a MAC novice, only owning three lipsticks and two eyeshadows, but I thought that it would be quite a fun thing to do a post about my MAC lipstick collection, no matter how small it is! Oh the days when I long to have a big section of an Ikea Malm dressing table reserved for just MAC lipsticks, however if I were to do that I would end up broke.

The three MAC lipsticks that I own I received on my birthday last year, after much deliberating over what shades I should ask for and looking at many swatches/reviews! I got the three exact shades that I wanted too which was good. I decided that I would play it safe with shades and not pick anything too daring, as I didn't want to risk not liking them since they cost around £14, and I didn't have a MAC counter anywhere near me so that I could see them in real life beforehand!

The first one that I will start off with is Creme Cup! This is from MAC's Cremesheen line, and it was a huge bloggers' favourite last year, which is what urged me to buy it as it looked like such a pretty shade. Creme Cup is a glossy, pinky nude shade, with a subtle blue undertone (which apparently makes your teeth appear whiter)! This is such a gorgeous, moisturising shade which is great for Summer. It doesn't last extremely long, possibly around the two hour mark, however I guess that is a decent amount of time! I honestly haven't used this a whole lot yet, as my attention has been focused on Peach Blossom recently (the next lipstick), although I must give it a proper few tries soon.

Next is my absolute favourite of the three, Peach Blossom, which is also the Cremesheen formulation! I've talked about this quite a few times in the past and I actually reviewed it a little while ago here. When I wrote that post a lot of people said that they hadn't ever heard of Peach Blossom, or it would be one of those shades that they would overlook as it doesn't look very special at first!

I completely agree with these people, as when I was picking the shades for my wishlist, I almost didn't put this on as it didn't look all that special. Thank the lord that I changed my mind though! It's a glossy pale pink shade, although I wouldn't really call it peach (meaning it has a slightly deceiving name). The formulation is very creamy formulation, and although the pigmentation isn't overly great, possibly due to the glossy formulation, I really don't mind as it lasts for a long time. It's just a generally amazing lipstick and was my favourite up until a few weeks ago (the Revlon Laqure Balm in Demure has just inched its way past)! If you'd like to hear me babble on about it a little more make sure you read my review!

Lastly is Coral Bliss, another Cremesheen lipstick! This is quite a glossy, pinky coral shade (although it does look more tangerine in the swatch) but I would say that it does have more of a pigmentation than the other two, plus it is very buildable. The lasting power is pretty good, as I get about three, maybe four, hours of use out of it! Personally I do find this lipstick to be quite drying, which I know quite a few people say tends to happen with Cremesheen lipsticks, however I haven't experienced that with the other two, so maybe this is just one of the more drying ones! You can simply resolve this though by adding a little lip balm before you apply the lipstick.

Overall these are three lovely shades, and I'd definitely recommend them all! They are perfect for this time of year, and seriously they would look amazing with a holiday tan.

I hope that you all liked this post! I really must try and expand my MAC collection soon, I quite like the look of Japanese Maple (you'll see a reoccurring theme of pink lipstick shades with me), so I would love your suggestions. Also lipsticks have been a big favourite of mine lately, so definitely expect to have a couple more lipstick related posts on my blog over the next few weeks!
