Hey
there!!
Month
of MAC
I received my new
MAC lipstick from the A Novel Romance
Collection the other day (may I saw awesome? Yes I may? Awesome!) and it
reminded me that I'm supposed to talk about my MAC items this month. I don't
have much but I'll share my thoughts on what I do have.

I now have 2 MAC
lipsticks. Yeah, I know -- just 2. Like I explained earlier in the month,
I just didn't "do" MAC. I didn't see what all the hype was. Then I
began to purchase a few things, you know, to see if it was all that. Some things
are, some things aren't.
I must admit, the
lipsticks are pretty fan-tab-ulous. They are moist, last for several hours and
have enough colors to suit anyone's needs. Oh, they smell great. It's that
sweet vanilla smell that I like. The price point isn't so bad either. $16 - $22
bucks for a lippie isn't bad. Especially if it wears well.
The down side?
Believe it or not, they have soooo many colors, it's hard to find ones that
aren't something that you already own. And, they have so many limited edition items
that it kinda sucks. You have to be willing to take a chance on a color rather
than see what everyone else thinks and then purchase it. That may work for you
cutting edge folks but for me and my other "let's think about this for a
day or two (month) before we pull the trigger" people, it doesn't work.
For instance -- I
purchased my Yield To Love cremesheen without really knowing what it looked
like. It's an online exclusive so no in store demo (AND in stores, you have to
wait a few weeks). I got lucky and the folks who tried this in advance were
correct about it being very nice. The color was
a bit pinker than I thought it would be (I was thinking more pinky nude)
but it's still quite a pretty color.
On the other hand,
my Lustre in Plumful was one I got to test in the store. I knew when I swatched
it on my hand that it would be pretty and then I tried it on and knew it was
coming home with me.
So MAC has opened
my eyes with their lipsticks. I really like them and see why everyone has 10 or
12 bullet containers in their makeup case. Do I plan on adding to the
collection? Yes, but not so fast. I need to only purchase colors that really
stand out.
How many bullet
containers do you own? Did you try this newest collection? What did you think?
