MAC "Russian Red" lipstick review

Back in the days, when I was learning how to do my makeup from youtube tutorials, I saw nothing else than MAC in the videos. I thought that it must be a really good brand if every single guru used it. Especially the lipsticks fascinated me.
I have waited a long time, but last month I finally made my way to the MAC store and got my own MAC lipstick. The colour I got is "Russian Red", which is my description of "the perfect red".

The MAC lipsticks come in very simple yet classy packaging. It's a black tube, with a few glitters. I was actually surprised to see the tube had glitters, because on videos you just see the black part. The lipstick itself doesn't have any glitters in it, I don't like that very much. I'm more of a matt lipstick kind of girl.

 

And this is what the lipstick looks like. It's insanely pigmented and quite creamy - which makes it easy to apply and it doesn't dry out your lips. It also lasts longer than any of the lipsticks that I own at the moment, which is really nice. I guess all the reviews aren't overdone after all!

See you soon!

Revlon "Kiss me Coral" lipstick review

Hello everyone! Part twentythousand of my lipstick obsession! Today I present to you this lovely orange toned lipstick by Revlon called "Kiss me coral". I know it's a bit sad, but this is actually my first Revlon product. Ever.
Well, I guess there's a first for everything, isn't there?! This is also my first ever orange lipstick! Normally I go for red, but change can be good, don't you think?

I can't even begin to explain why I love this lipstick so much, but I'll try. Let's start with packaging. I think, even though this lipstick isn't really super expensive, that it does look very luxurious. Black and gold, it's beautiful!

 

Ah, and the colour! It's super pretty! I am quite into red, berry and orange lipsticks. I think I wouldn't have bought it if it was any brighter but I though this was still acceptable.

 

This lipstick has a rather creamy texture which makes it easy to apply. It doesn't survive a meal, though, I always touch up my lipstick after eating, even if it's not really needed, but this one does need it a bit. Also, look how pigmented the lipstick is!

 

I am so excited about this product, I think I might add some more Revlon to my collection soon... You know what they say about first impressions, and this first impression couldn't have been better! 

 

Thanks for reading!
Love,

My shirt is from H&M, belt is from a local shop called Action, I believe I got my cardigan from C&A which is a local shop too and then m shoes and skirt are from Topvintage. I don't remember where I got my purse but the hairflower that I'm wearing is from H&M.
