The other day I went into MAC to pick up my surf baby blush and returned some empties,
well twelve to be precise and for that I got two sexy new lipsticks.
I finally got my hands on an Impassioned Lipstick I have wanted this shade forever and ever and ever but every time I go in my local MAC are always out of stock. I'm actually over the moon I have this bad boy it really is as pretty as everyone says! MAC describe impassioned as an 'amped up fuchsia' which it is but for a more accurate colour description I would say it is a mid toned bright pink with yellow undertones.
The other shade I selected was Vegas Volt again everyone and their mammy's seem to bum this shade and after swatching it in-store I can see why! Its such a beautiful coral shade and who doesn't love a coral lipstick, especially with the warm weather on its way? Perhaps i'm being a tad optimistic considering I live in the west of Scotland, my summer usually consists of rain and oh yeah more rain! MAC describe this as a 'full power coral' which it is and again it has yellow undertones.
Both lipsticks are amplified formula which has to be my favourite finish as they glide on with such ease, they tend to be the most pigmented shades and they have a slight gloss finish. Perfection in a tube if you ask me!
With my next empties I plan on picking up Lady Danger and So Chaud, what shades are on your wishlist?
I love vegaas volt I was gonna get it when I got morange but it was sold out gorgeous xx
