Hey guys!
I'm officially back! Second year is over, my week of celebrating is done and I've partied like it's an S Club party (literally, I went to see them the other night - blog post coming up on that soon). So you will once more get a weekly or sometimes twice weekly blog post: HURRAH!
So without further ado, it's time for the MAC lipstick swatches and review. I have been super excited to write about this because I absolutely adore MAC lipstick and the shades I currently have! I've done swatches in natural light and flash so you can see the difference with different lighting. I have four shades so far - Kinda Sexy, Velvet Teddy, Angel and Faux.

First is my most recent purchase - 'Kinda Sexy'. It's a super pretty and flattering matte nude with a tinge of orange. I think it's a bit more vibrant than the other nudes which makes it perfect for the summer. The website says 'neutral pinky rose' but I completely disagree. In my opinion it looks nothing like the sample shade they show you on the website but I love it all the same!
Next is 'Angel'. Now, on the website it looks like a really nice plum pink, described 'soft pink' in the frost finish - again nothing like it does on my lips. :( So I was pretty disappointed with this shade because on my lips it's quite a pinky pink and I don't feel THAT confident with pink lips. However, I'm slowly working with this shade and I'm growing to like it thank god!
'Faux' was my first MAC lipstick and Holy moly, it's such a beautiful shade. The website describes it as a 'muted mauve-pink' in satin finish, I completely agree with this. It is so so nice on, it feels amazing on your lips and makes your lips look hella good. This shade works really well for everyday wear and even nightwear - so if you have intense or smoky eye effect, 'Faux' will look amazing on your lips.
Last of all is the one and only 'Velvet Teddy'. This was made particularly famous by Kylie Jenner, I can see why, it is such a good lipstick. The MAC website describes it as a 'deep tone beige'. I think Velvet Teddy is my favourite by a landslide! I just think it's a really complimentary shade to my skin and really magnifies my lips, which is an added bonus. I wear this most with the 'whirl' lipliner (all out Kylie Jenner I know) and it just looks amaaaazing. I've also received so many compliments whenever I have worn this lipstick so if you're looking for a great matte nude - this is the one!
So there you have it guys, my MAC lipstick swatches and review! I really hope you enjoyed this post. I'm so sorry for being so distant from the blog recently, but I've really been focussing on my assignments and everything else. Leave any comments below, like, share - you know the drill :) The next blog will be up in a few days! Thanks for reading,
