Bloody Hell!! (Red Lips)

After 4 days of not blogging....

I'm here to talk about two lipsticks by MAC.

Say hello to MAC Lady Bug and On Hold.

Lady Bug has a Lustre finish while On Hold has a Cremesheen finish

Top: Lady Bug- Lustre.

Bottom: On Hold- Cremesheen.

How come I never heard anyone raved about these lipsticks before? They are a must have.

I have been buying bold lipstick for the past couple of weeks.I know, it isn't practical to have more than 5 red lipsticks, but I need them in my life.

As much as I adore lip gloss, during the windy fall and winter weather, I tend to opt for lipstick. Lip gloss can be sticky sometime, or not sometimes..always! If you do not want your hair to stick on your lips, then you need to be vigilant and tie your hair back. Lipstick is huge this fall and it seems that each time the chilly season is upon us, darker lips come back into fashion.

I love lips that make a statement, but I won't ever wear dark plum/black shades because I just can't pull those colors off. Lips too dark can look scary and they can also make a young, lively woman look years older if the tone does not flatter her natural coloring. One last thing, make sure your lips are not chapped, so before putting lipstick on, apply lip balm.

First off- MAC Lady Bug(Lustre)

Mac described this shade as yellow tomato. They are indeed right! I LOVE how pigmented this red lipstick is knowing that it is a lustre finish. One of my favorite red lipstick ever.I really enjoy this product; the consistency, application, and colour are beautiful. To me, its the perfect basic red. The lustre finish imparts a nice sheen that's not too drying.

If you are are debating whether red lips suit you or not, I recommend trying MAC's Lustre/Glaze finishes first. Try to find a red that you are comfortable in.

Here is On Hold(Cremesheen)

Mac described this as a mid-tone yellow Raspberry with micro gold reflects. On my pigmented lips, it shows up like what MAC described it as, but with more pink tones. It is the kind of shade that everyone can wear. This lipstick can be worn in school, work, or an everyday lip color. If you are not brave enough to show yourself with a red lip, try applying a nude base like Myth or Creme D' Nude.
