My first MAC lipsticks!

Hey guys!

So in this post I'm going to be talking about my first ever MAC products that I've recentley purchased! I'm a newbie when it comes to MAC. I've wanted to try a lot of their products for some time, but I've been kind of putting off buying anything as it is so expensive! Also the amount of different products they sell is kind of overwhelming. I decided to try out some of the lipsticks as I've heard they're amazing and have a great variety of shades and finishes to choose from! The lipsticks I bought are rebel, russian red and girl about town. They are £15 each and I purchased them off their website:

The first one I'm going to talk about is rebel. Rebel is a satin finish, described as a midtonal cream plum. This lipstick is a great colour for autumn as it's quite dark. It looks a bit scary looking at it just in the tube, but once it goes on its a lot lighter and more pink, so don't be put off by first impressions! It's a really pretty shade and I would definatley recommend this if you're looking for something a bit different. The satin finish is really nice as it's not as drying as the matte finish, the only thing is you need a lip liner with this lipstick as it can bleed. Apparentley this shade looks different on everyone depending on their skin tone. I think this suites everyone from light to dark!



The next one is russian red. Russian red is a matte, described as an intense blue-ish red. This is my favourite out of the three! It's such an amazing shade of red which makes your teeth look whiter due to the blue undertone. As it is matte it lasts for ages, I wore this whilst eating and drinking, and it hardly faded at all! It does get a little bit drying after a while but that doesn't bother me so much. If you're looking for a classic red that lasts for ages, then this is the one for you! I think this would look great on everyone no matter what skin tone you are.



The last lipstick is girl about town. Girl about town is an amplified finish, described as a bright blue fuchsia. This is such a pretty pink colour which is great for spring and summer! It's not too bright that its overpowering, its just a really nice wearable bright pink. It's really creamy on the lips so it feels really comfortable to wear. I think this is my favourite finish out of the three based on how it feels. The downside to being creamy is that it doesn't last as long as the other two, I did have to reapply after eating and drinking, but I don't mind too much as the colour is so nice! I think this would suit everyone as well. If you're looking for a bright pink lipstick I would definatley recommend this one!



I'm really pleased with all the shades that I purchased and I will be definatley purchasing more!
