MAC Charmed I'm Sure - Review, Photos, Swatches

Tweet

MAC Charmed I'm Sure is a part of the MAC Marilyn Monroe Collection. This shade is a true red with blue undertones. It's slightly lighter than MAC Russian Red, but not as bright as MAC Ruby Woo. It's a hint brighter than MAC Such Flare. This has a matte finish (favorite!) which makes it quite long wearing. It's also really opaque so if you have pigmented lips, it will still work for you.

I've had this lipstick for a while now, right about the time it was released locally. I was a bit apprehensive if I should post about it since its already sold out, but I just had to share it. I love Marilyn Monroe and I think MAC did justice in this collection: from the formulation, shades up to the packaging. I was so tempted to get Scarlet Ibis but I already got one from the Iris Apfel Collection. Didn't even bother getting Pure Zen. LOL

I'm sorry, I was in a hurry that day.
Didn't even bother fixing my hair 'cause I was running late for work.

PROS: a beautiful shade that's perfect for the holidays, long wearing, matte but not drying, opaque, fabulous packaging!

CONS: limited edition :( 

VERDICT:

 I will definitely repurchase! (if ever it gets re-promoted)

MAC Love Goddess - Review, Photos, Swatches

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!
