While shopping with other beauty bloggers at the Birmingham Blogger Meet Up, I decided I wanted to purchase my very first MAC lipstick.
This was my very first purchase in MAC myself, I have previously owned one lipglass and eye shadow which were cast off's my sister decided she didn't need. I had never actually bought anything myself though, but under the influence of other lovely bloggers I decided to pick a lipstick as they are probably the most raved about lipsticks online. Now I can see why.
The lipstick I chose is Pink Plaid, which is in a Matte finish. I dont tend to like sheer lipsticks so decided to pick a matte shade.
The colour itself is a light rose pink; a colour which I often opt for and know I will get a lot of use out of. I believe it has blue undertones to it, and is the shade of lipstick I would wear every day. It is not vibrant and is really wearable in the day time.
I was surprised at how moisturising the lipstick was, and had no need for lip balm.
The lipstick lasts on the lips without a touch up for about 5-6 hours which I thought was pretty good.
I don't think this lipstick is a 'must have' shade as I wear this kind of shade a lot and own a few similar drug store lipsticks which give a similar colour, but the finish on this lipstick is really great and makes it stand out from other drug store brands.
Below are swatches on the lips and on hand to hopefully show the colour of Pink Plaid.
For my first MAC lipstick purchase I think I did quite well, I was sensible and picked a colour I know I will wear and wont just sit in a draw!
