In fact this week I have popped a couple of MAC cherries. I have been using MAC products since I was 17 and have never depotted an eyeshadow. I have always thought it would be too much hassle and too messy ... well this week I found out how easy it was and 3 quarters of an hour later I was sitting with a mountain of 16 empties - enough for 2 lipsticks!
So, I had never back to MAC'd in the past, again out of sheer laziness, I just couldn't be bothered to save the empties and would bin instead! Criminal isn't it? As I discovered yesterday Nothing beats the joy of walking into MAC choosing a lipstick and walking away without handing over any money.
The lipsticks I chose were Girl About Town (left) and Angel (right). Here they are side by side with and without flash.
I have been eyeing up Angel for a while - I don't own many pale pink lipsticks as I think they wash me out but this seems to have quite a warm tone to it and works for me. Girl about town is one of those lipsticks that all my friends own and I envy - and of course it was made famous by Cheryl Cole. I love the vibrancy of it without it looking too gaudy on the lips, like a muted bright.
Terrible mobile pics as usual but we have Girl About Town on top and Angel at the bottom. Girl About Town especially feels very creamy on the lips - something I don't notice so much from other MAC lipsticks. I wore Angel to work today and as much as I love the colour I did find myself re-applying at short intervals.
Thanks for all the lipstick recommendations on Twitter - they were very helpful and I now have a healthy list for future Back to MACs :)
