Mac Cosmetics Lipstick Haul

Mac Lipstick Haul

Mac Cosmetics is currently having a buy 2 get 1 free on lip products.  You can buy any two lip products and then choose between a limited number of free lipsticks.  Thus, I now own six more Mac lipsticks than I did before.  I also found one that I would like to purchase in the future.

I bought these three from the store:

Love and Cherished.  I knew this one was sheer when I bought it.  I usually stay away from sheer lipsticks, but this one I couldn’t resist.  It’s a soft lilac color that almost has a touch of pink.  I think that it’s sheerness actually makes it a little more wearable.  I’ve worn this one almost every day since I bought it.

Bunnybeams.  This is one that I’ve had my eye on for a while.  It’s a pinkish-purple matte lipstick.  I can’t wait to try it mixed with my white lipstick.  I’ve been really into pastel lipsticks lately and I would love to try this one in pastel.

Breathing Fire.  This is a medium fuchsia pink.  This is probably not a shade I would have gotten if it wasn’t free.  I’m not the kind of person who wears this shade of pink.  I actually found this one surprisingly beautiful.

I bought these three from the Mac website:

Courting Seduction.  I’m in love with these pastel purple shades.  This one is a lot more solid than Love and Cherished.  I’m sure that it’s going to get a lot of wear in it’s future.

Cold Front.  This is a periwinkle blue with purple glitter.  I fell in love with these shade in the store.  I know it sounds like a strange color, but it’s perfectly lovely.  This is a shade I would really recommend trying.

Lured In.  This is a darker purple and my other free shade.  I really like this shade but I’m not sure I like it as much as the more pastel shades.  They didn’t carry this shade in the store so I didn’t get a chance to see how it would look on me.

*Note:

Different Mac stores seem to have different selections of free lipsticks.  You should shop around before you invest in the lipsticks you want.  You may find a free lipstick from one place that isn’t available in another.

I decided to include two purple shades that I picked up at Walmart the other day.  Maybelline Vivid Liquid Matte in Orchid Shock and L’Oreal Infallible in Lilac Lust.

When I actually tried Orchid Shock, I was a bit disappointed.  It’s not as pretty on the lips as it is in the tube.  I think it looks more purple in the tube.  Just keep that in mind before you put your money down.

Lilac Lust was a lot darker than I thought it would be.  The inside color does match the tube, but somehow it’s just not the same.  It also has that horrible L’Oreal lipstick smell that I hate so much.
