MAC Alluring Aquatic Mystical Lipstick

MAC Alluring Aquatic Mystical Lipstick

While I was away on holiday I missed this collection and even checked the airport but all the lipsticks were sold out! I was lucky enough to get this from my amazing sponsor!


Firstly, the packaging. 
It is to die for! I haven't seen anything like it before.
The droplets of water and the metallic blue packaging are stunning in person.

Mystical is a mid-tone plummy rose colour. 
It has a slight pink-gold shimmer in it that gives it a beautiful finish. 
The application was very easy as it a cremesheen finish and it didn't pull, tug or apply unevenly. 



When I apply this it looks like my perfect nude due to my dark pink pigmented natural lip colour. 
I reapplied after 5 hours and it had not dried nor hydrated my lips. 

I can't fault this at all, I am in love with this lipstick! 
It is just amazing overall and I have to rate it a 10/10!

MAC Dangerous Lipstick Review - Perfect for Spring!


 +MAC Cosmetics MAC Dangerous Lipstick



I just had to try this lipstick. The colour was screaming at me to pick it. It's true colour is red, but applies mostly orange and the lipstick being a retro matte didn't put me off.


A lot of people find retro mattes too drying and hard to apply, but once you have it on you forget the pain of having to apply it. This lipstick lasted for 6-7 hours without having to reapply. The colour payoff was gorgeous and once again the smell never fails to impress. 


I can't believe how long it's taken me to try an orangey-red lipstick. I was truly surprised as to how much I love it! It is also perfect for spring time and will look great in the summer too. It is easily paired with a soft eye to focus attention on the lips, and paired with a dark smokey eye is also beautiful and not too much!




My overall rating of this lipstick is 10/10! I know the application isn't as easy as other finishes, but the end result is too gorgeous not to give it a perfect ten! If you're looking for a new spring time lipstick to add some colour, this is just what you're looking for!



I hope you enjoyed my review :)

And a big thanks to my great sponsor!

MAC HEROINE LIPSTICK REVIEW


It's first debut in the 'Reel Sexy Collection in 2012' enticed customers, and when re-promoted the following year in the 'Fashion Sets Collection 2013', people all over were heart broken to find out it was not part of the permanent line. Especially those who didn't get a chance to purchase it.
  Now, it's back for good.



Although this is not yet available in the UK, I managed to get my hands on it through my lovely sponsor.



My first impression of this lipstick was a single word, ''Purple''.

I wasn't sure what this would look like once applied as it varies on your skin tone and the pigmentation of your lips. It is dark plum purple in the tube but once swatched or applied to the lips it is almost magenta/fushia. It also looks red-toned under certain lighting which accents this lipstick even more.


Although it is a matte lipstick it glides on easily and feels quite moisturising which is very surprising.

I found no issues with it dragging, skipping or tugging when I applied it, unlike some other mattes and retro mattes. The coverage was full and it lasted for roughly 5 hours. As always it has the classic chocolate scent (not vanilla!), gosh there's nothing better than the smell of a brand new MAC lipstick...

My overall feelings about this lipstick are if you can get your hands on it, even just to try it, you should! This is the lipstick in my collection that really stands out the most, by colour, vibrancy and application.


The rumoured UK release date in store is March 6th 2014. The online launch was due in January but has obviously been a false statement or the date has been changed. The price will remain £15 for this lipstick, I am still waiting to hear if the lipglass will be available too.



I hope this review has been helpful to you all, if you have any questions please feel free to ask!
