MAC Pink Pigeon - Review, Photos, Swatches

MAC Pink Pigeon is my utmost favorite bright pink lipstick! It's almost as neon-y as Candy Yum Yum without the purple undertones. It's a matte, cool toned pink that's just perfect for spring and summer. This lipstick is from the MAC Iris Apfel Collection.

PROS: formula is awesome, long wearing, matte but not drying, opaque, and the shade is just pretty
CONS: limited edition. :(

VERDICT:

I will definitely repurchase!

MAC Flamingo - Review, Photos, Swatches

If there's a lipstick that will fall in the "my lips but better" category, MAC Flamingo would be it.
MAC Flamingo is a muted coral lipstick in a lustre finish. Honestly, I'm still confused if I love this finish.
It's creamy, a little glossy, and is not opaque (though it is buildable). But I must admit, this particular shade is really refreshing and youthful to wear which I think is just perfect for spring and summer. This lipstick is from the MAC Iris Apfel Collection.

VERDICT:

I will repurchase when I don't find something better.

MAC Scarlet Ibis - Review, Photos, Swatches

MAC Scarlet Ibis is a matte red-orange lipstick that's part of MAC Iris Apfel Collection. The shade is pretty close, a little darker than that of MAC Lady Danger. This color is reminiscent of old Hollywood, specifically of Scarlet O'Hara. Perfect for pin-up makeup look if you're tired or scared of the typical red.
