Product Review: MAC's Lip & Cheek Colour in Out for Fun



Product Review: MAC's Lip & Cheek Colour in Out for Fun



Cost: $20
Where to Purchase: MAC counters
Claims:  Versatile, lightweight all-in-one colour for cheeks and lips. Creamy, super-blendable, barely there formula. Contains Vitamin E to help keep skin and lips nourished.

Thoughts: I have a special spot in my heart for cream blush so when I swatched this at my local MAC counter I HAD to have it. I was not disappointed, I love this color on my cheeks, it stays on for over 9 hours and it's not thick or oily like one might assume it would be. I have not tried it as lipstick but for the purpose of this review I put it on my lips and it felt a lot like lipstick. A very nice consistency.
How I use it: I use a RealTechniques Stippling Brush and I pat it directly on the product and then apply it lightly on the apples of my cheek, blending it in. For it to stay all day I set it with my favorite powder coral blush on top of it and I swear I get home from work and my cheeks are still rosy.

Product Review: MAC's Trax Eyeshadow



Product Review: MAC's Trax Eyeshadow


Cost: $1.99
Where to Purchase: MAC counters
Claims:
No claims.

Thoughts: This is a recent re-discovery, I've owned this shadow for over 2 years and I haven't really paid attention to it until recently when I decided to use it in my crease for some purple and I was instantly in love. Why haven't I hit pan on this two and three times?! It's not as purple as it looks on the pan, as you blend it out it takes on hues of burgundy and gold and they just make this beautiful and unique color.
How I use it: I apply on my crease with a MAC217 brush and blend it in.

Product Review: MAC Riviera Life Lipglass


Product Review: MAC Riviera Life Lipglass

Cost: Around $15.50
Where to Purchase: MAC counter
Claims: Designed to be worn on its own, over Lip Pencil or Lipstick, Tinted Lipglass is the perfect product for creating shine that lasts. It's pigmented, very shiny and can impart subtle or dramatic colour.

Thoughts: The Reason I chose this lipglass versus the other ones in the collection is because I felt that I didn't have anything like it. Henceforth, I tend to use it more because I don't forget in my sea of nude glosses or baby pink ones. It's a bright orange that when blended out looks like a bright coral, just perfect for the season and matches the majority of my Summer wardrobe. I've been carrying this baby in my purse since I got it.
How I use it: I apply it over MAC's Thrills lipstick or simply on its own.
