Hey
All!
So,
as is apparent, I am crazy about shopping for shoes, bags, jewelry,
dresses and everything else under the sun (even grocery). However, my
range of makeup, for some reason, is pretty limited. For example,
when it comes to lipsticks, I can only pull out from my purse, either
a red or a pink or, these days, a plum/wine. So, when I wanted to do a
post on lipsticks, I handed the job to one of my more experienced
girlfriends – the cute and chic Aditi who comes with a bagful of
deliciously tempting MAC lipsticks. So let's see and drool and go
shopping!

Hello
ladies!!
This
doesn’t happen to me daily that Rachna gives me an idea to do a
guest blog for her!!
It
is my first time writing a blog so please bear with me if I am not as
seasoned as Rachna.
Let
me introduce myself -
I am Aditi and like all you people I am quite enthusiastic when it
comes to fashion, gossiping,dressing and not to forget shopping!!
Recently
I have been possessed with an undying love for MAC Lipsticks that
gets stronger with every purchase. For
all my shopping sprees, I must thank my
dear hubby, Chandan who is an
impressively patient shopping companion (and by the way, it is his
cards that I use!).
So here are my top 9 Mac lipsticks. Below are the pictures of the shades in white light without flash.
1.CREME
IN YOUR COFFEE (CREMESHEEN)
This
is a gorgeous, everyday pink-brown shade. It is cremesheen so it
is moisturizing and looks so
natural on the lips that you won’t feel you are wearing any
lipstick. There are many MAC lipsticks
in
a similar
shade but with different
undertones - Mehr,
Cosmo, Twig, Fastplay. If you consider buying this shade try on the
similar ones too and then take
your pick.
This
is a grapefruit-pink
shade that is light and very
summery. The color speaks summer. It has luster and is moisturizing.
Similar
MAC shades
- Shanghai
Spice,
Crosswire.
A
lovely bright-red pink. It is one of my
to-go
lipsticks, looks
great for casual wear. I have tried many MAC light pink lipsticks in
a similar shade but I feel this
one suits
me the best; it is moisturizing and is subtly pretty.
4.PINK PIGEON (MATTE)
Here
on, the shades get
more Bold
and more Beautiful. This was one of my first MAC lipsticks
and it is a bright
pink shade, almost neon. I was quite
scared to try this shade but now I love this!! I
have been wearing it all
summer. It is matte,
so it wears
longer. Although
it is a bit dry, it doesn’t
matter because the color is so pretty! Just moisturize your lips
before wearing it. Similar MAC
shade - Candy Yum
Yum.
5.SO
CHAUD (MATTE)
It
took me a lot
of courage to buy this one but now that I have, I love it. This
too has a matte finish but is
not very drying and
the color stays for long. Similar
orange-red MAC shades
-
Lady
Danger,
Vegas
Volt, Chilli.
6.FLAT
OUT FABULOUS (RETRO MATTE)
A
bright plum matte lipstick which looks very chic on lips. This is,
again, a very long wear lipstick and in fact, the color wouldn’t go
even after a meal, which
is great! Similar
MAC shades -
Show
Orchid,
Full
Fuschia
and Girl
About
Town.
As
the name suggests, it is indeed all fired up!! Love this color and by
far this is my favorite MAC fuchsia lipstick. This shade is very
similar to another MAC lipstick that I had, Relentlessly
Red,
but its not the same. I would suggest this
one to all the ladies who love
fuchsia - this
is the ultimate fuchsia lipstick!!
8.MAC
TOLEDO TENOR VOICE (MATTE)
After
a long
list of pinks, fuchsias, etc,
back
to the good old classic red lipstick! This was one of my first MAC
lipsticks.
It's
a beautiful red color that will suit every complexion. It is a
limited edition lipstick. It's matte hence, long wear but not very drying.
By far my favorite Red!! Similar
MAC shades - Ruby Woo and Russian Red lipstick.
9.REBEL
(SATIN)
Finally
THE COLOR FOR FALL!!
A lovely berry plum shade; you
might be apprehensive about
this one but once you gather
the courage to try it on, you will love it. This has a satin finish so it
just glides over the lips and
moisturizes well.
So these were my 9 MAC lipsticks! Hope the post was helpful for all you ladies.
