MAC MATTE LIPSTICK IN 'SO CHAUD'
MAC Lipstick in 'So Chaud' - £14.00 - Debenhams
Please excuse the moody face pic, it
does show the colour of the lipstick well, but it doesn't half make me
look like I need some cheering up!
Last weekend, I picked up my first MAC lipstick in aaaages. After rediscovering Angel,
one of my all-time favourite shades, I had an inkling that it was about
time that I got another. I honestly don't know what made me pick up
this colour. I knew not to get another nude (I have 4 from MAC, which I
seriously don't need) and for some reason I had this shade in my head as
a must-buy (I blame Corrie). However, i'm not sure I even like it in the bullet.
Even
when I put it on my lips, I was still a bit unsure. The formula is
incredible, however. More pigmented than any other lipstick I own, this
matte shade lasts and lasts and lasts. Although a bit tricky to apply (not one for on the move) I find that this fades evenly to a warm orange stain.
I
can't fault the lipstick itself at all, but I'm just not sure it suits
my skin tone and I don't know how much use it'll get. I do think that
this is more of a wintery shade as it is quite warm toned (despite
looking quite neon in the picture!) but I can't help but think I should
have picked up a true matte red instead for both daytime and evening
use.
