Stay Beautiful Showcase: My favourite MAC Pink Lipsticks

Everyone likes a good old MAC lipstick, right? I’m not super into pink lipsticks, but MAC has a couple in their line that I just love and every time I wear them, I’m impressed. Even though summer is still somewhat elusive in the UK, these shades always make me feel like it’s a bit more sunny!

”Impassioned.”

If you have a way of describing this colour accurately, I’d love to hear it. My description of it is “sort of like a watermelon, but not,” which I suppose, technically, is actually quite accurate, but doesn’t really paint a picture! Impassioned is such a beautiful colour and it’s easy to see why it’s a favourite amongst MAC lovers. There’s something pretty unique about it and I’ve not come across a good dupe yet.

“Lickable.”

I’d had my eye on Lickable for a long time, and kept telling myself I probably had, or could get, a dupe. While that still holds true, the lovely Rachael gifted me with some MAC vouchers so I thought it quite rude to not buy it. And I’m glad I did!It’s got lots of lovely subtle blue sparkle, and tt leaves a nice even stain behind as well which is great for lazy bastards like me!

“Candy Yum Yum.”

Do I even need to say anything about this shade? Recently re-released with the By Request collection, expect to see this everywhere in the blogosphere. And with good reason, because it’s fucking awesome. A fairly decent dupe is to be found in Sleek Amped, but this just pips it to the post for me in terms of comfort and longevity. Did I mention it’s fucking awesome? It’s fucking awesome.

 

I toyed with putting Viva Glam Nicki and Gaga up here, but even though they are both beautiful, I don’t actually wear them. Sorry, Nicki. Sorry, Gaga.

What are your favourite pinks?

  2. Oh man they are all so lovely. I had a right balls up with my first MAC lipstick (Plink!) which I hate so I never bought another. But I probably should.

  3. Oooooh, Impassioned is gorgeous. I think it's my favorite out of these. I'm trying to pretend I don't regret cancelling my order of CYY and it's hard. :/ Haha

  7. My favourite pinks are darker fuschia types. MAC Rebel is probably one of my favourites; I have several pinks but usually I just bought them because I'm all like, "OOOOH BRIGHT PINK!!!" Pink lipstick usually doesn't work that well on me but Rebel is actually flattering.
