Mac Midimauve lipstick swatches

Review:- Smashbox Double take lipstick in Apricot

The Debenhams website says :-

The doubletake lip colour from Smashbox is a lip pencil and creamy lip color in one! This vitamin-packed, long-wearing formula has caffeine and nourishing wheat glycerides to moisturize and protect lips

I do like that this lipstick is dual ended and that you get the matching lipliner with the lipstick
the formula is smooth, and creamy and has a good pigment it is a somewhere between a satin and cremesheen lipstick since i know alot of people prefer descriptions in mac cosmetic terms.
Im not sure what effect caffeine is supposed to have on the lips -maybe to wake up my lips??? lol!

The only con i would say is that it will need sharpening so dont make this your only handbag lipstick if you are not very efficient at making sure all of your makeup (pencils) are prepped and sharpened at all times

The colour is so this season, the name apricot really suits it s it is just that a peachy, coral apricot shade!
It is close to revlon peach colorburst lipstick and Mac Ever hip lipstick

I think this shade might be limited edition however there are four other colours available from the debenhams website

• Sugar and spice
• Amaretto 
• Praline 
• Cranberry

Ameretto is quite nice but my favourite of this bunch is Praline its a very neutral and versatile shade

This pencil is not cheap at £20.50
But worth it if you consider it as a lip liner and lipstick

Review:- Smashbox Lipstick in Candle with swatches

I dont have many Smashbox lipsticks but I have this one as well as a couple of other which I will hopwfully review very soon

This Lipstick is Smashbox's top selling best lipstick
And probably my favourite lipstick from Smashbox too

Its really versatile and can work with alot of different looks as the colour is quite pigmented, It is quite a frosty kind of lipstick, and can be abit drying on the lips if applied to already dry lips.

The colour itself is a nude shimmery pink bronze champagne colour

A Smashbox insider Makeup artist trick direct from the Smashbox makeup studio is to use Candle lipstick just on the centre of the lower lip to give the illusion of a more fuller lip -I dont do this myself as I feel that I already have very voluptuous lips!

Revlon Colorburst lipstick in peach

I really like the Revlon colorburst lipsticks 

The packaging is very chic with the quilted casing that makes it look very expensive 

also the lipsticks themselves are just the right blend of colour pigment and moisture 

This swatch is for the shade peach 075

which is a darker slightly more orange coral than peach 

but never the less its a very pretty shade 

probably not best for very pale complexions and probably not best for those with orange to red hair shades

but try it if you do fall under these colourings 

It could still work for you if worn the right way 

XOXO

Mac pink lipstick swatch in strayin

Strayin is a limited edition lipstick by mac from the hello kitty collection 

it is a bright blue based pink it is similar shade to mac girl about town but not exactly the same 

This lipstick is a frost lipstick

and has some silver glittery shimmer which is most apparent when the lipstick has worn off and you have glittery fine lines in your lips -lol you know what I mean !!

Do you have a similar pink lipstick ?

XOXO
