Afternoon all!
Hope you are all having a lovely Saturday!
A couple of days ago i received the only product that i ordered from the Iris Apfel for MAC collection. As with ordering online and not many other swatches of the products on the internet i made my decision pretty much based on description only. 'Flamingo' was described as a 'Light, milky bright coral' and with a lustre finish i knew it wouldnt be too intense so i went ahead and ordered.
The press release i actually received for this collection stated that this was an online collection only however i have heard from some fellow beauty lovers that they have managed to snaffle the collection in store.
I find it to be quite sheer and the swatches are from the lipstick being swiped a few times on my hand, however it does build up and i can live with that!
I am in love with this lipstick! (Kind of wish i got two - but that would be greedy!) The colour in the tube really does pack a punch but swatched it is much more muted as it is a lustre finish but can be built up if required.
As with all MAC lipsticks this retails for £13.50 and is available from the MAC Cosmetics Website however it is currently out of stock. It would be worth a look popping to a counter though!
Did you pick up anything from this collection?

great colour :)
ReplyDeleteaww it looks gorgeous swatched, I'd love to see what it looks like on!

I was desperate for this and its sold out online and I called Mac in london and was told they wont be getting it back in stock so I paniced and bought it on ebay having it shipped over from canada, cant wait to get it xxx
ReplyDeleteWowee, that's one hell of a colour! It kinda looks like Topshop's Neon Rose blush but as a lipstick. I'm sure it looks great on though, especially with a tan!

ReplyDeleteI am so out of the Mac loop haha I do love Mac but lately their collections have not appealed to me this lipstick reminds me of Coralista or ... it was a coral type of lipstick with the name Coral in it from Mac one of their LE collections in the summer ... thats as good as i can remember hehe but I didnt get the lipstick back then I might call in at my Mac and pick this up before its too late :)
