What to Get in SM - MAC lipsticks
Ok, I'm cheating a little bit with this post because MAC is technically not in SM but it's right outside SM, so that counts, right? MAC opened a store in SM Makati (there's one in Megamall too!) so I thought I'd share my MAC nude lipsticks in this post. I am having quite a nude lipstick moment lately and it's always the color I zoom in when I'm in a makeup stand. I've collected these colors over the years, I didn't buy them all in one go. As you can see from the bullet, some are more loved than others but I really like all of them. I think MAC lipsticks are really good, no matter the color. They have a bunch of colors and finish to choose from, they last well on the lips and the bullet lasts forever!
But yeah, on to the lipsticks! I like my nudes with a lot of browny-yellow undertones. I think it suits my skintone better than the really pinky ones. The colors I have are (from the swatch photo L-R): Velvet Teddy, a matte lipstick that probably doesn't need an introduction because of the Kylie Jenner lip trend; Blankety (amplified), the pinkiest of the bunch and the one I can't wear on it's own so I layer it to tone down too bright lipsticks; Cherish (satin), a step down in color from VT, I really like this for when I want to look mature; Pure Zen (cremesheen), this color is close to a balm for me because it just gives a hint of color to the lips, perfect for when you have an intense eye makeup and you want something light on the lips; Patisserie (Lustre), probably my favorite nude from MAC as you can see from the shape of the bullet, the perfect pinky-nude and a buy enabled by ViviannaDoesMakeup and LillyPebbles and; Shy Girl (cremesheen), a color that every beautyblogger has raved about but I was unwhelmed when I got it.
If I had to pick a top three, I would say get Patisserie, Velvet Teddy and Cherish.
