This is another one of their new shades. For me, this is the colour that you wear on those days that a nude is too soft or a red too vibrant. You want to look confident and for me this is it. It goes brilliantly with casual jeans or smart jeans as well as the smart casual look to. Like other lipsticks I have tried from M.A.C. these feel comfortable and comforting on the lips. They last all day and do not bleed. It can be applied straight from the bullet, or with a brush if you want a more structured look. I like to apply it with my fingers especially when I want a casual look with my makeup.

These are sample sizes which are generous in size.  They are a semi-matte lipstick and smell delicious of cocoa. They are very pigmented which means that they can be applied straight from the bullet, with a brush or with your fingers depending on the look you want to create.  They are long lasting and did not make my lips peel or feel dry.  Pose Queen – is a colour I would wear on those days that I am doing the weekly shopping in jeans etc. It great a great nude and I would wear it on my cheeks too maybe not my eyes – well that’s something to try in the future. The MVP – now this is the date or special occasion lipstick that you want to wear when you want everyone to notice you.  You want to feel powerful. Again, I might wear it on my cheeks – a small amount applied with fingers. Scholar Sista – perfect colour for the office and those Brunch dates.  It’s a shade that will go with everything and make you feel polished, professional.

This is one of their new shades. For me it’s the perfect pink nude that goes with every look or event. Its great with jeans and t-shirt or a dress or a suit. Its should be in everyone lipstick arsenal for those times you need a nude with a matte finish so that it does not detract from the fantastic eye look created or that no makeup makeup look. To be honest I was scared that the matte lipstick would be drying but this is soft and smells like cocoa. It does not dry my lips out and they do not peel which most lipsticks do.

 This was the third mystery item in the Golden Hour Kit.  Mehr is a wearable every day pink lipstick with a matte finish that does not dry my lips out. My lips felt comfortable and hydrated all day. It’s one of those pinks that goes with jeans and T-shirts or business attire. 

  Suqqu Moisture Rich Lipstick (02) Great nude shade for every day wear whether dressed in jeans etc or work wear.  Applied nicely straight from the bullet or with a lip brush.  Lips felt hydrated though mine feel dry and peel whenever I wear any brand of lipstick.

C. and I am pleased with the results.  This is the most perfect nude for me, and the finish is just lovely.  My lips or I should explain the skin on my lips are very dry and every lipstick that I try makes them peel.  Even if I have used a scrub before putting on any lipstick until this one.  No peeling and lasts.  This is the nude that can be worn with jeans and t-shirts, or smart casual or even that special work out that you wear when you want to seem confident in a situation that makes you feel unease.  The creamy texture of the li...

Benefit They’re Real Double the Lip in Bare Affair I love the Lusty Rose version of this lipstick and wanted to try one of the new colours.  This is my go-to colour of the season.  I wear it almost every day that I wear make-up - eyeliner, mascara and my IT Cosmetics CC+ cream and not forgetting Gimme Brow.  I am happy to see the outside world.

The MakeUp Club Matte Lipsticks - The Full Set These apply nicely from the bullet and are not drying as some matte lipsticks.   They last all day.   Even though they are matte, they are creamy in texture and very moisturising.   The colours are scary when viewed from the bullet but once applied to the lips they are subtle that can be built up for a more intense colour.   You do not need to use a lipliner as they do not bleed. Below is the colours and when I would choose to wear them: Knockout – every day wear. Hot Damn – special occasions when you want to feel vampy Alabama Slammer – smart casual look Purple Haze – scary not a me colour Kamikaze – when wearing a neutral palette – a jeans and jumper kind of day Snakebite – Date night
