New Acquisitions: Lip products


Lip color is something that I normally shy away from but since its spring I've been wanting to break out of my shell a little. I'm not going to say that I new products I got are super crazy colors but I'm trying things that I usually don't wear.


Mac- So Vain Kissable Lip Color
$12.75 at CCO
This is a nudey- Baby pink color. It is also my first Kissable lip color and I really do like the formula of it. Its not too sticky and its not too dry and like all other MAC products it has that vanilla scent that I like. The only thing I don't like is that it goes on a little streaky when worn alone.

So Vain


Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil - Toundra
$10 Sephora
This is a metallic burgundy color. I certainly do not own anything like it. I got it because I've been wanting to try Nars Lip Pencils and this one was on sale. Plus, Sephora has the best return policy so If I hated it I could get my money back. I'm still on the fence about the color - it is exactly as described. I'm just not sure how often I would wear this.

Toundra
Nars Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil - New Lover
$24 Sephora/ Nars
This color is described by Nars as a gold infused strawberry pink. I really like this color on my. Beacuse my lips are so pigmented the color is not as bright on my as it could be on others but I think it adds a subtle pop of color to my lips. I like how it is glossy but not sticky like a gloss. The product dries and doesnt look as glossy after a while but the color still stays which is nice.


 Mac- Viva Glam Cyndi Lipglass
$10.25 CCO
This is a coral-pink with micro shimmer. When I bought this I got it solely to put in my collection. I am surprised by how much I love this and how much I want to wear it. I'm not used to colors this bright so I'm still trying to fit it into my look but this makes me so excited for summer! It applied a little streaky on me so I've been trying to find a good lipstick/ liner to wear under it.





Mac Viva Glam VI
$10 at CCO
This is definitely a MLBB color. Its nothing outrageous, it just kind of pulls a look together. Somedays I get a little self conscious about my lips so I don't like to bring too much attention to them.



I also did some swatches on my hand so you can see the colors that way too
