MAC Neon Orange - Review, Photos, Swatches

MAC Neon Orange is a permanent MAC PRO color in an amplified creme finish. It has been re-promoted for several collections already. It's a bright orange that's not for the weak-hearted. People will definitely stare or turn their heads when you wear this. This shade is perfect for summer, though I personally wear it whenever I want.

(Left-Right) MAC Neon Orange, MAC Morange

As you can see on the photo above, Neon Orange is very similar to Morange.
Maybe Morange is a hint darker, but honestly they're really hard to differentiate.


PROS: great formula: creamy and won't dry out your lips. It's long wearing and it's opaque.
CONS: A bit expensive. If you already have Morange, I think you can skip this shade. They're almost the same!

VERDICT: 5 out of 5 CHILIS! It's pretty rare for a bright creamy lipstick to be this opaque. For chicas with pigmented lips, we really need the opacity. Another fab lipstick from MAC! Definitely worth getting. :)

MAC Impassioned - Review, Swatches, Photos

Impassioned - adjective; filled with or showing great emotion. 
For beauty and makeup lovers (especially MAC fanatics like moi), Impassioned is simply one of the best summery pink lipsticks one could own.

Although there are no specific rules on wearing this shade (at least for me), I would recommend a simple, neutral eye makeup for this one. A shade like this deserves to be the highlight of your face.

I personally don't wear a lipliner for this shade because I haven't found a perfect match for it (suggestions are welcome!).



PROS: long-wearing, awesome formula (yay for moisturized lips), opaque, great shade :)
CONS: Pricey. But if you ask me, its worth every peso ;) Oh, and its not available in all MAC counters. :(

VERDICT: 5 CHILIS!

MAC Eden Rouge - Review, Swatches. Photos

MAC Eden Rouge is a part of MAC's Posh Paradise Collection that was released last year. The said collection carried lipsticks in a new formula - the "mattene" a.k.a semi-mat. It's as opaque and as long-lasting as their matte formula, with the creaminess of the amplified creme formula. I'll say mattene is the baby if ever matte and amplified creme ever hook up.

MAC Eden Rouge
Red lipsticks are my go-to items whenever I'm too lazy or in a hurry.
I love the drama and how it makes me look "put-together" without too much makeup.


MAC Eden Rouge
Eden Rouge is brighter than Russian Red. The shade is closer to Ruby Woo.
Unfortunately, this color is limited edition. :(

PROS: Matte but not drying, longevity is fairly good(about 4-6 hours), the sleek packaging is easier to carry around

CONS: a limited edition shade, dupeable

VERDICT: 4 out of 5 CHILIS! This is a great lipstick to add to your collection (especially if you're a huge fan of MAC). The shade and finish are great, but if you're in a budget, I think you can settle for the drugstore dupe.
