Left to right: Sweet Experience, Playland, Happy Go Lucky, Toying Around, Head In The Clouds, Red Balloon
Sweet experience is a beautiful soft pink in the Amplified finish, I love light pinks like these one, however the combination and the finish make every little imperfection show,so remember to exfoliate your lips and applying a thin layer of moisturizer/clear lip balm before applying this color (I recommend Baby Lips by Maybelline).
PlayLand is the most interesting lipstick color I've ever seen (and the signature color of this collection), I was very hesitant to purchase it, on the website it look like a mustard yellow color (doesn't sound very appealing especially when I picture it on my lips), so I thought I will get it anyway for mixing purposes only, when it arrived today I was amazed, and in love. This lipstick is a beautiful shimmery GOLD with a frost finish. This color is a tool to endless possibilities, you can mix it with other shimmer lipsticks or use it as a top coat to add some gold shine to any lip color, or do an ombre lip. (it will look oh so amazing on top of Ruby Woo or Russian Red). I am so glad I got it ! It is gorgeous, see for yourself:
Happy Go Lucky is a lovely Fuschia lipstick in the Amplified finish, it is so similar to so many other shades (Pink Poodle, Lickable, Girl About Town) yet so different. There is something about it that just stands out to me, and I can't put my finger on what it is, it's just so pigmented and bright, it just gives that pop of color to your lips. I own Pink Poodle and lickable, but I know I will be using Happy Go Lucky more than the others. It's just so irresistible and I don't even know why.
Toying Around this is an Amplified coraly orangy-red. This color is so unique I can't think of any other Mac shade that is a close dupe. I was thinking Vegas Volt at first but when I swatched it I saw that it is more red than Vegas. There is nothing like it, I truly adore this lipstick.
Up next is another color I was hesitant to purchase, thinking "ugh... another red, I have a million reds already" and I only added it to my cart just to have all the lipsticks in this collection. Head In The Clouds is a shimmery red in the Frost finish. Frost is my least favorite finish because I like my lipsticks to be opaque and Frosts just make me feel like I am wasting product because I tend to apply so much of it to make the color show. To my surprise, this lipsticks is very pigmented! The shimmer in it, to my surprise, gives a very classy look. It's a classic red with a twist! It slightly reminds me of Rihanna's Viva Glam, but this one just has so much more color. Love love love!
Lastly, the Amplified Red Balloon is a stunning reddish-magenta color. A beautiful color for the season. It is also very unique and I can't think of other Mac colors that would be considered dupes. It is a very warm berry tone, a combination of pink and red. I can see myself wear it a lot in the summertime with neutral eyeshadow for that bold lip look. I like!
Overall I am very impressed with this collection, the colors are beautiful and bright, and this summer is going to be all about bright make up. I love them all, if you don't have any similar lipsticks to these I would highly recommend checking them out. And if you consider yourself on the more adventurous and daring side and feel very comfortable with color, I suggest you to get PlayLand , get creative with it and experiment!
Thank you all for reading.
