Marilyn Monroe is one of the celebrities I look up to.
She's a style icon, a sex symbol, and one of the first women who stood up for herself and did what she wanted to do without letting discouragements bring her down. Yes, she wasn't perfect, but who the hell is?
When MAC announced that they're coming out with a collection inspired by Marilyn Monroe, I was so excited - and so was the rest of the Monroe fans! The craze was too big, I just knew everyone will hoard the collection. I was right. :)) I only got to purchase one of the lipsticks, fortunately it's my most favorite one from the 4, so I'm quite happy. :)
MAC Love Goddess is a pinky red lipstick in satin finish. The color is a bit new to me since most of my red lipsticks are true reds with blue undertones. This one is a little more friendly red, great for every day.
I love this finish because the color payoff is perfect, yet it doesn't feel heavy on my lips.
It's pretty long wearing also (though not as long wearing as their matte lipsticks), but I still love it.
It also leaves a pretty pink stain when it feathers off.
Also, hats off to MAC for the awesome packaging!
