MAC Quick Sizzle - Review, Photos, Swatches

I am just so glad I got to order this online! I was at the launch of Shop MAC, Cook MAC Collection in TriNoma. I was 2nd in line, and it was sold out already! That fast! I'm just grateful I have great friends in the online seller community so I was able to get one. Whew!

So yes, this is MAC Quick Sizzle lipstick. It's a bright blue-based pink in matte finish. It's opaque, long wearing, and the formula (though its matte) is not drying at all. It is part of the Shop MAC, Cook MAC Collection, thus making it a limited edition shade.


PROS: Matte but not drying, gorgeous shade, long wearing, an opaque.
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 Force Of Love - Review, Photos, Swatches

MAC Force Of Love is a bright coral lipstick that's just perfect for spring and summer. This is from MAC Chen Man Love and Water Collection that was launched in the Philippines last March 24. Though it's in a matte finish, it's not drying at all. It's long wearing, opaque, and pigmented. Shade is very similar in that of MAC Watch Me Simmer.

MAC Watch Me Simmer is a bright coral lipstick in warm undertone. It's in an amplified creme finish so expect opacity and great color payoff without drying your lips out. It's part of the Shop MAC, Cook MAC Collection that was just released in the Philippines last March 24.

For those who weren't able to get a hold of this awesome lipstick, don't fret 'cause it will be re-promoted in their upcoming collection, MAC Reel Sexy Collection.
