My Experience:

Shades:Purchased three shades,Ruffle Trim,Exotic & Teddy

Ruffle Trim : True peach shade.Suitable for all skin tones.I like to line my lips with a dark lip-liner and then apply this lipstick.

Exotic : Muted dusty rose pink shade.Really very pretty shade.Can definitely be used on a daily basis as it gives a feeling of My Lips But Better.

Teddy : It's a true brown shade,however it's not a deep vamy brown and can be worn easily,if at all it's a cup of your tea.Personally,I love dark shades and I love Brown lippies.Hence,I picked this one up.
It's a beautiful shade.Suitable for all skin tones.If you don't like wearing such sort of shades then you can mute it down by using a more neutral colour like ruffle trim or so.


Swatches:
                                 

                                
Packaging :

  • Nice packaging.Sturdy and travel-friendly
  • Clear acrylic packaging ensures that we can see the shade.
  • Black colored lid with glossy finish.The lid closes tightly and product leakage was never experienced
  • The flat-foot applicator helps in lining out the lips perfectly and product can be easily applied
  • Labels shade details ,weight and product-expiry etc are mentioned on the tube itself.That's great!

Formula & Texture:

  • Soft to touch,not gritty
  • Moussy-texture,not runny liquid formula
  • After applying the lipstick it dries down to a complete matte finish
  • Pigmented enough to cover up the pigmented lips,gotta swipe twice/thrice at least to get the full opacity.
  • Doesn't stain the lips for sure                                  

Fragrance: Chemically-scented.Fragrance which fades away with time.Not bothersome.

Longevity: Lasted on the lips for 4-5 (had meals in between).If greasy food item will be avoided,It will last for 8 hours.However,in my case,lips felt dehydrated and undernourished....and let's be real we cannot leave eating Burger and French fries...hehehe.
Re-application is easy tough as there will be no product as such on the lips after eating greasy food,so,apply a generous amount of lip balm and top it off with the lipstick.

Pro:
Shades are to die for as these sort of shades can be used on a daily basis.Pretty shades indeed!

Con: Not that long lasting and definitely lips will feel parched at the end of the day due to the formulation.

Will I re-purchase?
Yes,wanna try out this lipstick in the shade Cabaret Show.

MAC Haul!!!

Hi Ladies!

How are you doing?

Today,I am gonna share my mini MAC Haul.

Recently,I purchased some products from MAC.Read on to find out my picks.




MAC Prep+Prime Fix Plus:

It's a makeup spray.Can be used as a primer and as a setting spray.Packaging is cute and travel-friendly.I wanted to check out the travel-size as it becomes very hard to carry the full sized bottle.This product works great on my dry skin.Easy to carry and toss in the bag and can be used on the go.
Price : AED 49
Size : 30 ml

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in the shade Soft & Gentle:

It's an illuminating face powder,basically a soft highlighter which can be layered and it can definitely turn into a blinding highlighter.
I love highlighters and I had heard a lot of good things about this product and that's the reason why I purchased this highlighter.It has got very smooth texture,soft to touch.This will suit all the Indian skin tones pretty well specially medium-skin tones.
Price : AED 140
Size : 10g
                                          

MAC Extra Dimension Eye shadow in the shade Amorous Alloy:
Amazing packaging!!! Just look at the product and the wavy design(embossing)..looks classy in my opinion.It's a deep terracotta copperish shade.Very smooth to touch and glides on nicely on the eyelids.Can be used all over the eyelids to get that extra glamorous single eye-shadow look.
Price : AED 90
Size : 1.3 g
                                         

                                               

MAC Lipstick in the shade Devoted to Chili:
It's a part of Powder Matte Lipstick collection.Packaging is cool too,it has got a matte black finish...love it.This shade in particular attracted me as it's a burnt orange-terracotta shade which I am loving these days.When I swatched it,I could feel that this lipstick has got a comfortable-matte finish and not purely matte finish.Check out the swatch you will understand what I am trying to say.

"On website : A moisture-matte weightless lipstick that delivers a romantic blur of effortless soft-focus colour.Devoted to Chili is a Warm Brick Red shade."

It's perfect Dupe is Maybelline's Matte Ink lipstick in the shade Globetrotter.Must check out if you wanna try out this kind of shade on a budget.I am yet to try out this lipstick,will definitely share my opinion on this lipstick super soon.
Price : AED 95
Size : 3g                              
                               
                                                   
      



MAC X Disnep Aladdin-Matte Lipstick in the shade Rajah
Omg! I am in love with this collection.I wanted to try out this particular shade as it's a true berry red shade which I love love love.Perfect for Indian/Medium skin tone.To be honest, this is a universal shade and I am pretty sure that it will suit Fair to Deep skin tones very well.It's perfect Dupe is Chambor Geneva's Liquid Lipstick in the shade 405.Do check out.

"Devoted to Chili" lipstick has got semi-matte finish which is matte but, still moisturizing. Altough,the product claims are that it's a matte lipstick,after swatching it we can safely say that it has got a comfortable matte-finish.This lipstick is amazing and the packaging it very unique and attractive too.
Price : AED 105
Size : 3g

                                           

That's it for today.
