MAC | Watch me simmer


Ever since the release of the MAC shop cook collection I've had my eye on this shade, and it's since been added to the core collection so it must be doing something right!
It's described as 'A Bright Pink Orange' though I find it does tend to differ slightly depending on the light. Swatched it looks very orange, in the bullet seems almost red, while on the lips it seems much pinker.
It's my first Amplified finish and I have to say I'm impressed. It's very pigmented, really creamy and I found the staying power to be pretty good too.
Though it might seem quite full on, I’ve found myself reaching for it a lot recently as it adds a pop of colour to a simple outfit and really brightens me up. It's the perfect summer shade and I'm sure it would look gorgeous with a tan.

What do you think lovelies? :)

  18. I love this shade so much I hop skipped and jumped down to my nearest MAC counter but recieved terrible service from the girl (does no service count as terrible service?) so have ordered it online instead. Hurry up postman.

  21. This looks lovely! I really love lipsticks with an orange hue. The only mac lipstick I have tried before was very dry so I'd like to try this in comparison. x

  34. Hello Lily,

    I'm also taking the freedom of leaving you this comment because I'm currently working on a fashion-related dissertation for my MSc. I'm doing a survey about the perception of young women towards today's fashion luxury brands, and if you, or any of your lovely reader, could take 5 mins and complete it, that would help me a lot :)
    Here is the link of my survey: https://fr.surveymonkey.com/s/2SQNKSV
    Thank you very much!

    Lou ♥
    Ps: That lipstick look very lovely. MAC seems to never disappoint is their lip product
