MAC 'PLUMFUL' LIPSTICK

As promised in my sorry (not sorry) post today is a review of MAC's Plumful Lustre Lipstick (aka my new favourite thing). I'd been eyeing this baby up for months and let me tell ya, I'm so glad I finally bit the bullet and bought it. Without a word of a lie I have worn this every single day since it arrived and I don't see it moving out of my make up bag any time soon! I can't help it, I'm a self confessed lip junkie ha ha.

 

I like to buy MAC products from Debenhams online; they offer 10% off deals quite frequently meaning you can snap up a MAC lipstick for £13.50 rather than £15.00. Not a huge saving but still, it's better than nothing! You should keep an eye out for it.

 

This is only my second ever MAC lipstick and it happens to be my first 'lustre' finish. I already prefer this to their 'cremesheen' finishes. I can't really pin point what it is about the cremesheen finish that I don't like, but the lustre offers a sheer but buildable coverage. It's easy to apply and it doesn't completely dry my lips out. That being said though - it does make my lips feel a little dry, but thankfully it doesn't make them look dry.

The above swatch is the effect of one swipe. The swatch below shows just how buildable it is!

The shade is unlike anything I own. A gorgeous plum with more of a pink undertone to it (rather than purple/red) making it much less scary to wear opposed to some of the plum lipsticks out there! I'm a little weary when it comes to wearing darker shades because I'm so pale but I'm happy with how it looks. In fact, I'm smitten. 

What's your favourite lipstick for A/W?
