MAC Lipsticks - Blankety & Velvet Teddy



Since I started working at MAC, I've played around with so many different lipsticks that I would've never tried before. This is how I discovered Blankety & Velvet Teddy! I rarely ever buy products for myself, and will always see whether I need it for my kit or not but these 2, I definitely got for myself.

Blankety is an Amplified texture and it is described as a "Vaguely vacant soft beige pink" and I must say, they are pretty spot on. I absolutely adore the Amplified lipsticks from MAC, the texture is unbelievably soft but pigmented at the same time and they're just so comfortable to wear on the lips. Blankety is probably as nude as I would get for a lipstick. 

Velvet Teddy is a matte shade that I would have never thought would look that nice on me but I found myself putting this lip colour on more and more. This is described as a "Deep-toned beige" and this colour is pretty much like my lip colour but just a bit deeper. As with any of the MAC matte lipsticks, even though it's matte, it's never uncomfortable to wear and never dries out my lips.

I am eyeing Vegas Volt, Honeylove and Creme Cup next so don't be surprised if you see those coming up in the not too far future!

Rouge Volupte Shine - #9

 ===========================================

 When I went on my trip to Jakarta, all the girls and I tried to compact our luggage so one of us would bring eyeshadows, one would bring lips/cheek products, etc etc, and through doing this, I found the most perfect nude lipstick for my colouring. It is the most perfect mixture of pink, peach, rose and beige with a gorgeously smooth consistency. I loved it so much that after the first night I tried it, I bought it straight away so that I didn't have to keep borrowing my friend's lipstick!

May I present to you, the Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Shine in #9!
