Hello, Hola, Bonjour.
At the weekend I received a little goodie box of MAC purchases and wanted to share with you my thoughts on the items I got from their permanent range. I wrote a little blog post at the weekend on the two items I bought from the Fashion Flower collection which I wanted to get up on here quickly before they sold out online, so if you want to read that you can here. I pinkie promise I will drift away from MAC goodies soon and write about other brands.
Perpetual Flame is part of the Pro Longwear Lipcreme family. It is an amazing pink fuscia colour that is creamy in texture (I hope the swatch below does it some justice). It's so bold and in your face but I really love it exactly for that reason. The best part is that it live's up to MAC's claims of being long lasting, it was still on my lips hours later. It also wasn't drying in the slightest. I just want to prance around the house in it. Although it is a bit pricer than the standard MAC lipstick's (they are £15.50 each), you do get a bit more product. As with both the Pro Longwear Lipcreme's and Sheen Supreme lipstick's I really like the casing, it's a lot slicker. The Pro Longwear's are in a matte casing where as the Sheen Supreme lipstick's below are shiny.
Sheen Supreme's are the perfect blend of lipstick and lipgloss. I'm not big on gloss as often than not I find it too shimmery and sticky, I often opt for coloured balm's instead. Sheen Supreme's are a creamy glossy formula and I find them very wearable. I wish I had been a bit more daring with the colour's I opted for but I went for Ultra Darling and Impressive.
Ultra Darling is a gorgeous bright pink gloss shade, it's subtle enough to not be too overpowering for a gloss but gives the right amount of colour. I'd describe Impressive as quite a neutral tone, it's not that dissimilar to my own lip colour. It's more of a darkened pink/brown shade.
Out of the two I would definitely say that Ultra Darling was the clear winner as there is more colour pay off but for an everyday lip Impressive would be perfect.
Have you guys bought any of the Pro Longwear's or Sheen Supreme's? I want to try some others but don't really know which direction to head in next.
xoxo
