The second lipstick I got was #126 which was a deep red. I already own MAC's Dubonnet, so I'm not really sure why I got this color, but whatever! I have no excuse. Again, the pictures aren't exactly true to color, but they came out better than the #115. I just think purple and a camera don't mix.

I actually primed my lip and then outlined with MAC's lip pencil in "Brick" and now looking at this picture, I realize a monkey could've done a better job at outlining my mouth.. good lord. Anyway, I really like the consistency of this one as well - very moisturizing and a lot more pigmented than the berry color above. Here's what the actual color looks like along with the lip pencil I used -
These swatches are a better representation of the colors actually!
The red lipstick lasts a lot longer than the plum one, but probably because it's not as sheer. I ate dinner with the red one on and it pretty much stayed on.. not so much with the berry lipstick. That's okay though, because for $8 a piece, including 2 freebies (which I gave away as gifts), really you're only paying $4 for a good quality lipstick! They have an amazing color range as well! I never remembered the Ulta collection being this nice, but I think I may have found my new obsession!!! What lipsticks have you been favoring lately???
Ah yes the problem of trying to get purpley shades to look right in pics, that winds me right up. Love the shades though. I'm favouring coral and bright pink at the moment, I can carry coral off with a bit of fake tan on and it suits the bright, warm weather we're having :) xx
ReplyDeleteI WISH I could carry off coral like you can! Unfortunately it just looks weird with my hair & skin tone :(
