Spring

Lipstick, lipstick, lipstick!  I have very much been in a lipstick state of mind, readers!  Just wanted to share the above swatches with you.  These lipstick shades from some of MAC’s latest collections.  Swatch above, from left to right:  Mehr, Gulabi, Neon Orange and Flustered.

Mehr:  From the MAC + Mickey Contractor collection, Mehr is a deep mauve shade that screams “classic” with a matte finish.  

Gulabi:  From the MAC + Mickey Contractor collection, Gulabi is a bright Fuschia shade with an amplified finish that will not be ignored!

Neon Orange:  From MAC Stylishly Yours, click the link for my full review—–>Neon Orange Lipstick Review. 

Flustered:  From MAC Cham Pale, Flustered is a shimmering golden champagne shade that is subtle.  It’s perfect if you’re looking for something just a bit more flashy than a typical nude lip.

MAC lipstick retails for $14.50 per tube.

Who couldn’t use yet another neutral, go-to shimmery gloss?  Rich and gleaming with shimmer–MAC Cham Pale Lipgelee is a blendable, moisturizing formula (and that warm vanilla scent is just dreamy).  MAC Lip Gelee is an ideal choice for a gloss fan that is looking for something a bit more opaque.

Bubble Lounge (swatch at left) is a pink/peach with a pink shimmer. 

Straight To The Head (swatch at right) is a bronze shade with a pink shimmer.

Both Lipgelee shades work well during the Winter, but when I look at them I can’t stop thinking about Spring and Summer!  Can I hear an Amen?

Retail price is $14.50 per Lipgelee.

Estee Lauder’s Pure Color lipstick never disappoint.  Their buildable color is perfect for women who prefer just a touch of color, or those in search of major drama!  The formula applies smoothly, and has a lightweight moisturizing feel.  For these reasons, the Pure Color Lipstick remains a favorite of mine.  Estee’s latest–the Wild Violet collection–includes two color families:  Wild Violet and Wild Coral.   After all, Lauder is famous for providing choices!

The Wild Coral color collection contains Pure Color Lipstick in the shade Wild Fire.  Described as a bright coral, it’s a very-wearable way to embrace the “orange lip” that is increasingly popular in 2011. 

The Wild Violet collection contains Pure Color Lipstick in Wild Violet.  The shade is a deep bluish-pink with a metallic shimmer, and is youthful and fresh.  (And also sold out, on the Estee Lauder website!)

Retail price is $24 per lipstick.
