Nude Love.. My Favourite MAC Nudes

1. ANGEL (Frost Finish) - A popular nude pink shade made famous by Kim K.. It's one of the only frost lipsticks I own and surprisingly doesn't have much of a frost finish. It leans a little on the cooler side on me, however when paired with MAC's Boldly Bare lip pencil, I get the perfect nude pink shade for my skin tone..

2. KINDA SEXY (Matte Finish) - Probably one of my top favourite nudes from MAC, this neutral pinky peach nude shade is an easy slap on and go colour.. I don't need a lip liner and for a matte finish, it's one of the creamiest matte shades I've tried thus far..

3. VELVET TEDDY(Matte Finish) - This one is closer to my natural lip colour and leans more brown in comparison to Kinda Sexy but is a great "MLBB" shade..

4. SHY GIRL (Cremesheen Finish) - A more true peach nude, this one took time to grow on me. It's a great alternative when you want to move away from the pinky brown nudes.. Because it's a cremesheen finish, you get the sheen of a gloss but opacity of a lipstick in one..

5. BRAVE (Satin Finish) - This mauvey rose shade isn't as nude as the rest but I love it.. Both this colour and Kinda Sexy were purchases influenced by YouTuber Sam on BeautyCrush because she would talk about them all the time.. And now I see why!

MAC Pick-Ups// Flamingo & Morange [Lipstick Haul]

Hi Guys,

So the "All About Orange" collection launched in MAC stores/counters today and I was particularly excited for the lipstick in "Flamingo" because I missed out on it when it first released in the "Iris Apfel" collection (as a matter of fact, I missed out on all 4 of those highly coveted lipsticks due to the fact that I was desperately trying not to spend so much money on makeup..). So when I saw that they were repromoting the lipstick in this collection I made sure to pick one up.

As with anything related to makeup, I can never just go in and out without browsing for what feels like hours, at everything else so obviously I left purchasing one other thing that wasn't necessarily on my mental shopping list. The "All About Orange" collection, as the name states, is an orange color themed collection and while I wasn't thoroughly impressed with the other lippies, I was on a hunt for a bright orange lipstick. "Morange", a lipstick in the permanent line, fulfilled this impulsive craving and I left the MAC counter feeling excited and regretful at the same time (starving student syndrome..).

Both lipsticks retail for $18 CDN/$15 USD and come in the classic black bullet packaging with silver accents MAC is known for.

"Flamingo" is described as a "light milky bright coral". It's a lustre finish so it applies more sheerly on the lips. This is a limited edition shade.

"Morange" is described as a "loudmouth orange" (I definitely agree with that!). It's an amplified creme finish making it highly pigmented and very creamy on the lips. This shade is part of the permanent line.

Regardless of the fact that money does NOT grow on trees, I feel rather satisfied with my purchases and will definitely be showing these two new lippies some love as the weather continues to warm up.
