My tiny MAC Lipstick Collection

MAC Lipstick Collection

Hey Dolls!

I just wanted to share my tiny MAC Lipstick collection. I never really wore lipstick in the past but ever since last year I’m really into lipsticks now. I only have 5 lipsticks by MAC, 3 by NYX and 2 by Rimmel. The lipsticks I have from MAC are basic colors, a plum color, a red, a hot pink, a light pink, and a nude color.

Tiny Haul: MAC Cosmetics

Hey Dolls!

I hope everyone is having a great Monday. Happy Memorial Day!!

Usually Mondays are a day that most people aren’t looking forward too because they have to go back to work or school. And sometimes I feel that way too, but not today, today is a day filled with family, BBQ, and good times. My Monday started off great because last week I got my MAC package. I ordered 3 things from MAC. I order a lipstick and 2 eyeshadows.

Here’s what I order:

MAC Crème Cup Lipstick
$14.00

The Crème cup lipstick is a very pale pink color. The MAC Crème cup Lipstick also reminds me a lot like my Viva Glam Gaga lipstick. It’s pale pink just like the gaga lipstick but the crème cup lipstick is a little bit creamier. I will be doing a post soon on how to wear MACs Crème cup Lipstick. I’ve seen like 4 or 5 different ways on Youtube how to wear this lipstick and I would love to show WOC how it can be worn, because looking at it in the tube can be freighting to some WOC who have never worn a pink like this before.

Right side: Sable
(Sorry for the blurriness of the swatches my camera isn't the best camera. I'm saving up for a new one)

MACs Sable eyeshadow
$11.00

The MAC Sable eyeshadow is such a pretty brown color and I plan to use it for a daytime smokey eye look. I will be posting the look soon as a Face of the Day post. So, stay tuned for that look.

MACs Dreammaker eyeshadow
$14.50

As for the MACs Dreammaker eyeshadow I purchased it because last week I was watching a video on Youtube and the makeup guru had said she uses a MAC eyeshadow color called, Dreammaker as a highlight for cheekbones. She said the eyeshadow color is so beautiful against Women of Color skin tone and it makes a great highlighter. I don’t own a highlighter shade yet and I really want to get into highlighting and contouring my skin and I had been meaning to buy one, so I decided to give Dreammaker a try.

MAC Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick

Hey Dolls!

So, I got a new lipstick from MAC called Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick. Okay I have to warn you this lipstick is very, very light pink and when I first saw it I was like there’s no way that lipstick is going to look good with my skin tone so I didn’t buy it at first. Then one of my favorite makeup guru on Youtube, MakeupDoll made a video title, How to Wear: MAC Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick (Women of Color Friendly). I really loved the video she made because it shows Women of Color that they are able to wear this lipstick and how they can wear the Viva Glam Gaga lipstick. After watching her video I went back to the MAC store and bought it! Also what I really love about the Viva Glam lipsticks are that all proceeds go to MAC AIDS/HIV Foundation.

MAC Girl About Town Lipstick

Hey Dolls!

So, A couple of weeks ago I got this new lipstick from MAC called Girl About Town and I couldn't wait to try it out. I first heard about MAC Girl About Town Lipstick last year while reading Seventeen Magazine. One of the models had it on and they suggested it would be a great lip color for Valentine's Day. I would describe MAC Girl About Town as a very bright, hot pink. I love the color. I feel it came out so pretty against my skin tone and I would definitely recommend this lip color for other Women Of Color as well. I agree with Seventeen it is a good lip color for Valentine's Day and I also think it's a great color for going out on a date or out to the club. So, a couple Fridays ago I was going out and I wanted to wear my new lipstick so I did a bronze and brown eye, so my lips would be all the focus.
