MAC // Playland

i'm sooo glad they finally came in!
they're really gorgeous colors, but not for my skin tone. at least not alone & where's the fun in that?!



au natural.

sweet experience  
amplified // bright pink // $16. 

it looks so pretty in the tube but when i applied it on my lips it looked crazy! my yellow undertones were really clashing with it, but i think once i start to get a tan it'll actually be a really gorgeous shade. it applied beautifully, but it's longevity was pretty disappointing. i'm aware that amplified lipsticks are great for those of us with drier than normal lips, but this one seemed a little too buttery. you definitely need a lip liner to avoid any feathering.

toying around
 amplified // hot coral pink // $16. 

now this one looked pretty scary & i was almost inclined to return it without even swatching. it's that loud. but i decided to give it a try & i'm so glad i did! the formula's a little dryer than most, but far from being a matte. this helps with the longevity. it also glides on smoothly. it looks a little more red-orangey on me, but it's absolutely gorgeous.

one quick question:
what's your favorite brand of lipstick?
