Top 5 Lipsticks | MAC Edition

Hello lovelies! 

Today's post is one that has bene long due, so I finally decided to bite the bullet and decide on my favourite five MAC lipstics.

If you couldn't already tell, I am a MAC girl. But nothing compares to their lipsticks in my opinion (hence the fact I cannot stop buying them!) SO it was pretty tricky narrowing down my evergrowing collection of 19 to 5...  They are in no particular order, as deciding that would push me slightly over the edge!

PInk Pigeon

If I had to pick my favourite pink lipstick, this would be the one. Owning both 'Candy Yum Yum' and 'Pink Noveau', it remained a hard choice to select my most loved pink. Going by usage, this little beauty definately wins. It is part of the matte finish collection (which is my favourite formula) making it the slightly more wearable sister of 'Candy Yum Yum.' It's perfect for those days where you want a bold lip, but one that's not too bright. It's a must have for all you pink lovers out there!

Whirl

Despite only buying this one at the start of the month - it has well and truly made it's mark on me. There has rarely been a day where I haven't been wearing this, the lipstick twin of MAC's 'Whirl' lipliner. It is a take on the new trend that everyone is crazy for, the 90's style nude lips, or the 'Kylie Jenner' lips. Whirl for me is the perfect darker nude for my pale complexion, and I believe this matte shade could suit most people, and most skin tones. 

Russian Red

It's no secret to anyone just how much I love this lipstick. Every girl needs their staple red lipstick, that is always guaranteed to look amazing, and suit your skin tone. For me, when I swatched Russian Red around 2 years ago now, it was the perfect colour for my skin. It has a blue undertone which also makes your teeth look dazzling white. What's not to love about this little stunner? If you still haven't found your fail-safe red lipstick yet, I would recommend you take a trip to the MAC counter and have a little browse... you won't regret it.

Patisserie

When I am looking for a nice 'my lips but better' shade, this one always comes in handy. After hearing Vivianna from Vivianna Does Makeup rave about this lipstick, I decided to buy it, and I certainly have no regrets. Despite it being a lustre finish, which is most people's least favourite, this lipstick just adds a nice amount of colour and glossiness to your lips without looking like you're wearing anything (if that makes sense?) Anyway, this is my go-to lipstick for those 'barely there' makeup days.

Hang Up

Last but certainly not least, is my favourite vampy lipstick, ever. I look forward to autumn every year, the time where it is acceptable to rock a dark lipstick without getting any funny glances. Hang Up was where my love for dark lips began, and since I got it, I've collected an array of darker toned lipsticks, such as 'Cyber' and 'Media'. Hang Up leans towards a dark reddy colour, almost leaving a wine stained look on your lips. This is the easiest of my vampire lipsticks to wear, making it more beginner friendly, for those of you wanting to dip your toes into the sea of darker lipsticks. Despite owning two other darker shades, this little treasure is still a firm favourite in my collection, that I cannot wait to be wearing very soon!

So there you have my top 5 MAC lipsticks, it was a hard thing for me to decide - but I managed it! I have been thinking of doing a full blog post on all of my collection, if it's something you'd be interested in, please let me know! 

I hope you've all had a lovely day, and are enjoying the week so far! I start college on Monday, so the nerves are certainly kicking in. Good luck to everyone, whatever you are doing this year.

See you tomorrow my lovelies!

Lots of Love and Sparkles,
