Oddly there was so much more hype around the MAC and Hayley Williams collection stateside than here in the UK, so much so that it seemed no-one really knew when or if it would be launched here.
Luckily on Wednesday the full collection hit the UK website and my ever lovely sister bought me the lipstick Sounds Like Noise for my birthday and let me have it a little early...double yay!
However I do have some bad news - said lipstick is now sold out and as it was an online exclusive you won't be able to hop from MAC counter to counter in the hope of snapping one up.
I hate when that happens especially when it is such a lovely shade like Sounds Like Noise is...sorry!
I must stress that I am not a fan of Paramore nor do I have anything against the band or Hayley Williams for that matter but any play on shade names will be utterly lost on me. However I do know that the collection was launched to coincide with the bands newest but other than that I'm utterly clueless haha!
Anyway MAC Sounds Like Noise is of course an orange shade that is listed on the MAC site as a "bright true orange" which I do agree with but if like myself you were a little worried it would be overly similar to MAC's M'orange you can rest easy as the two aren't all that comparable. MAC Sounds Like Noise is muted in comparison and of course a matte finish which seems to subdue the orange tone and make it more wearable. In my opinion Sounds Like Noise almost tinkers on being a bright coral share rather than a true orange. That aside it does have a strong yellow undertone which allows it to be neutral and a fairly suit all shade. Basically if you are looking for a really wearable orange lipstick then this is it!
I will be the first to admit that MAC's matte formula's aren't always the best and can be a little drying but luckily this doesn't seem to be the case with Sounds Like Noise. Yes it is a true matte formula so it has no sheen or shine what so ever but somehow isn't completely devoid of moisture. However it does highlight dry areas of the lips much like any other matte lipstick. I only got this shade today and slicked it on at 12pm and by 4pm it was all but gone so it wore for just over three hours without eating or drinking, typical of any other MAC matte lipstick truth be told.
Did you manage to snag anything from the MAC and Hayley Williams collection?
I didnt bother with this as i thought it was too much like my mac reel sexy lipstick .x

ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Sad I missed it, but I do have Illamasqua'a perilous which is similar it looks like.
ReplyDeleteI have such a girl crush on Hayley Williams xD I met her at Reading Festival and I've been a fan of Paramore for ages. Saying all that I could never pull off an orange lip xD I really liked the look of the skinfinish in her collection but it's sold out and so expensive. Oh well ^^ Great post! xx

I love the colour of this lipstick but it looks really dry and almost cakey? It's a shame that it's a matte..
