My Mac Lipstick Collection

Yes, I know, one person does not need to own this many Mac lipsticks, but let us be honest, once you start, you can't stop. I love Mac lipsticks and they are such a good present for people (as my dear friend Emily will agree).

(Left to right) Pink Plaid, Dark Side, Myth, Ravishing, Impassioned, Twig

The first shade I ever bought was "Pink Plaid" - it is described as "dirty blue-pink" and is in a matte finish. I haven't worn this in sooooooo long.

"Dark Side" is simply described as "deep burgundy" and is in the amplified creme finish. I've only just become a fan of dark lipsticks on me, so considering how long I've had this (nearly two years), at the time it was a bit of a waste.

"Myth" is a shade that I'm not too fond of anymore. I don't suit beige nudes (this is a described as "light neutral nude) and so I don't get any wear out of this no longer.

"Ravishing" is a perfect springtime colour. Mac describe it as "clean light peachy coral". I love wearing this with Mac's Expensive Pink eyeshadow (as shown HERE).

"Impassioned" is the shade that got me into wearing bright lip colours. I don't wear this as much any more, but it's a fantastic "amped-up fuchsia", in the amplified finish.

"Twig", alike Dark Side, is a shade that I don't actually understand why I bought. The day I bought it, I was so desperate to buy something from Mac that I just bought the first thing that I saw, which ended up being this. I'm not really one for brownish-pink lipsticks, so the few times I've worn this, I've worn it with a bright pink gloss over the top. Don't ask why. I have no idea.

"Russian Red" is a gorgeous blue toned red in a matte finish. Because it's a matte finish, it lasts all day long, and the colour is superb for a retro inspired look.

"Lady Danger" would probably have to be my favourite Mac lipstick shade. It's so wearable, and is perfect for evening, day, winter and summer. Mac describe it as "vivid bright coral red" in a matte finish. I mentioned it here in my "Top 5 of 2013".

I haven't worn "Viva Glam Nicki" in so long because it's a very summery colour; it is a bright yellow-pink in a satin finish and it's the perfect summer colour because of how bright it is. Nevertheless, I'm determined to find a way to make it work for winter also!

"Hue" is the shade that I wore at prom (mixed with Creme D'Nude). It is described as "soft pale pink" in a Glaze finish. It's the perfect every day colour, that is also perfect for pairing with a smokey eye, because it's a nude but a very pinky nude.

"Mac Red" is in fact one of two lipsticks I ended up picking up for free due to Mac's "Back to Mac" campaign as such. It's described as "vivid bright bluish red" in a satin finish. With it being a satin finish, it doesn't tend to be as drying on the lips as a matte lipstick can be, so if you find Russian Red or Ruby Woo very drying, this is a great alternative.

An accidental purchase when buying brush cleanser was "Viva Glam I". This is an "intense brownish blue-red" in a matte finish. I bought this because it looked very similar to Mac's "Chili", however because it's a Viva Glam shade, all the money goes to the Mac AIDS fund, so I felt better for buying the Viva Glam rather than a normal shade because I'm doing good.

The second free lipstick because of Back To Mac is "Diva", an "intense reddish burgundy" in a matte finish. I'm yet to try this properly but I'm very excited to try it because it looks gorgeous.

One of two Christmas presents from Mac is "Girl About Town"; described as "bright blue fuchsia" in the amplified creme formulation. I was originally going to buy this when I bought "Impassioned", but at the time I wasn't too much of a fan of blue-toned pinks, but now I am.

The second Christmas present Mac lipstick is the shade "Lickable", a "bright clean blue pink" in a cremesheen formula. This is very similar to "Girl About Town", but they do differ ever so slightly however.

As a little treat off my mum, I got the shade "Creme Cup". This is described as "light blue pink" in the creme sheen formula. This is very similar to my Topshop Lipstick in Innocent, which is a little pinker  Like "Hue", this is a perfect daytime colour plus a perfect smokey eye colour too.
