My MAC Lipstick Collection!

Everybody loves MAC lipsticks, so today I thought I'd show the little collection i've amassed over the last couple of years. I currently only have five MAC lipsticks but I'd like to think they're pretty good choices that cover the majority of my lipstick needs, although of course there's still room for more!

From left to right: Velvet Teddy // Flamingo // Kinda Sexy // Up the Amp // Costa Chic

Starting with Velvet Teddy..probably the most well known and popular out of the five, largely due to it being hailed as a perfect Kylie Jenner style brown toned nude. I never thought i'd buy (let alone love) a brown-nude as I just never thought it would be flattering or suit my skin tone, but I really do love this, it was a struggle to get hold of it as its pretty in demand right now, but totally worth it!

I love flamingos so of course I wanted this one..its my perfect summer shade and is a Lustre finish so it applies a lot sheerer than the rest, but is much more glossy and moisturising. The colour is a gorgeous soft coral that would most likely look flattering on anybody. 

Next up is 'Kinda Sexy'...I like to think of this as Velvet Teddy's slightly more wearable sister, as it's a similar shade but its less brown toned and more pinky, so if you're interested in Velvet Teddy but not sure if it would suit you, then this could be a wise choice. I think of it as a great everyday nude that I apply without even thinking about as it will go with any eye look and any outfit. Like Velvet Teddy, Kinda Sexy is also a matte finish, so moisturised lips beforehand are a must!

Up the Amp is like the wildcard of the bunch...its pretty out there compared to the majority of lipsticks I own, but surprisingly i've got a tonne of wear out of this and I definitely don't regret trying it. It's a lavender-violet which has enough pink undertones to make it wearable and not too crazy. I've built it up quite a lot in the picture so you can see the colour, but it looks equally nice sheered out for more everyday wear.

Lastly I have Costa Chic, which funnily enough was actually the first MAC lipstick I ever purchased. I think i'd seen a couple of people have it on Blogs/ Youtube Videos and thought it looked like a really nice, bright coral . This is a Frost finish which a lot of people don't seem to be a fan of. Whilst I don't like the finish of this as much as the others, I wouldn't say there's anything particularly bad about it, so don't let that put you off if you like the colour. 

Hope you enjoyed reading <3
