My Mac Lipstick Collection




Anyone that knows me will know how much I love lipstick and when it comes to lipstick in my opinion, MAC just do it better. They are quite expensive at £15.50 a pop now.. when I bought my first one I'm sure they were £13 pound something, but I still think they are worth it. I have built up quite the collection of them over the years and I personally find MAC lip collection posts very helpful when searching for which shade to buy next, so I thought I'd do one..


Myth, Creme D'nude, Honeylove, Blankety, Velvet Teddy, Creme Cup, Pink Nouveau, Viva Glam Nicki, Morange, 
Lady danger, So chaud, Russian Red. 


Myth is a very pale nude, applied on it's own would look like the dreaded 'concealer lips' but is great for using in addition to a darker lipliner or lipstick to lighten the colour. 

Creme D'nude is a light peachy nude, more wearable alone than myth but I still like this more worn with a lip liner as I'm not too keen on the finish alone. 

Honeylove is a browny beige nude, this is my most recently purchased Mac lipstick.. this with spice lipliner is my favourite lipstick combo ever. 

Blankety is a pinky beige colour, my most worn and most loved lipstick ever. I desperately need to pick up a new one of these. 

Velvet Teddy is a browny beige, I got it as a result of the hype and I wasn't disapointed.. again love this with spice lipliner. 

Creme Cup is a neutral pinkish colour, I think this was the first ever lipstick I bought.. pretty sure I read Kim K used it so that's why I bought it. Unfortunately it didn't make me look like a kardashian, I don't like wearing this lipstick alone but with a nice pinky lipliner it looks great. 

Pink Nouveau is a bright pink, I went through a bright lipstick phase a few years ago and I used to wear this all the time as you can see, I rarely use it anymore though as I don't think these type of colours suit me. 

Viva Glam Nicki is a bright coraly pink, I don't quite know what I was thinking when I bought this.. I purchased it when it first came out and I've literally worn it once. 

Morange is a bright orange, I also bought this one when I was going through my bright lippy stage and actually never wore it. When summer comes I am going to try mixing this with my red lipsticks to make them brighter and see how that goes. 

Lady Danger is a bright orangey toned red, my go-to favourite red lipstick to wear. I find that darker red shades make me look a bit too gothic looking due to me having very dark hair.. I used to love wearing this paired with Redd lipliner until I unfortunately lost it on a night out. 

So Chaud is the first MAC red lipstick I purchased which in 2012 I wore to death, I never wear it anymore as I prefer Lady Danger but it's still a lovely colour. 

Russian Red is a more classic blueish red shade, I don't wear this very often as I don't think this type of red suits me very much.

Kiko Velvet Mat Satin Lipstick 600 Nude Beige


As soon as I heard about how the new Kiko store in meadowhall had opened I had to go and get some things! Unfortunately most of the things I wanted weren't in stock so I ended up just buying a lipstick, I will definitely have to make an online order very soon. I picked up this lipstick mainly because the packaging is to die for, obviously I had to purchase a nude shade as they are my favourite so I went with the lightest nude of the range which is 600 Nude Beige.


Nude Beige is a classic light warm nude colour. The formula of this lipstick I would describe as a creamy satin formula. It is very light and creamy, definitely not matte. The packaging has to be the nicest lipstick packaging I have ever come across. It's a beautiful sleek gold colour and you press down on the bullet to release the lipstick.

MAC Favourites



Mac is by far my favourite makeup brand so I thought I'd do a post on my favourite Mac products. I am currently getting into wearing eyeshadow more and am building up my mac eyeshadow palette at the moment, however I only have 4 eyeshadows so far so that's why I didn't include any eye products in this post.

Mineralize Skinfinish Soft and Gentle -
This is possibly one of the most well known products from Mac, absolutely amazing highlighter! Leaves a beautiful sheen on the skin. I'm obsessed.

Studio Fix Fluid NC35 -
This has been a favourite of mine for years. No matter how many foundations I buy and try out, I always find my way back to this one. I love the finish it gives and the colour matches my fake tan perfectly.

Mineralize Blush Warm Soul -
I'm not really a big blusher fan, this is the only blusher I wear on a regular basis. It gives a gentle glow to the skin and is such a pretty colour.

Boldy Bare Lip Liner -
I love Macs lip liners, I always tend to lose them on nights out though. Spice and Redd would have been in my favourites if they hadn't magically disappeared out of my bag. Boldy bare is my current favourite as its a very natural pinky brown colour that's easy to throw on.

Blankety and Velvet Teddy lipstick -
My favourite product from MAC are their lipsticks, no brand does lipsticks like MAC does! As i am obsessed with browny nudes, My two faves are Blankety (as you can tell I really need to purchase a new one.. this is my most worn MAC lippie) and Velvet Teddy.
