MAC by request lipstick review and swatches on lips

Mac cosmetics gave the fans a chance to vote for their favorite lipstick and eyeshadow shades from the 90's and brought them back for a limited time (limited quantities and online only, so I had to grab me some as soon as I received the email!!)

I only purchased the lipsticks since I have way too many eyeshadows already. I did not purchase the red lipstick in Glam.

Here are the photos of Pink Poodle and Hoop:

Overall thoughts: I do like both lipsticks, I usually don't like shiny, glossy finishes but Pink Poodle has just the right amount of shine, I also like the blue-ish tone it has, it is a very pretty lipstick and I will definitely wear it. Hoop is a beautiful light pink with a tiny hint of coral, it is very creamy with a matte finish that will look beautiful with any skin tone.

Mac's Lickable and Girl About Town are very similar to Pink Poodle. Hoop also has many similar shades by Mac.

I like both lipsticks a lot but I wouldn't say they are must-haves. I do not regret purchasing them however if I missed the online sale I wouldn't have been heartbroken either.

 

 

Until next time,
