| MAC lipsticks including a Supreme Sheen Lipstick |
I am very very late to the MAC lipstick train. I honestly thought they were just a hyped up product based all on a brand name. But with my latest craze into lipsticks I thought my collection not complete without at least one. Plus I really wanted to try out Shipito and what better way then an order made direct to MAC. In New Zealand a MAC lipstick retails for around $40 whereas buying direct your looking at USD$16.

| MAC haul! |
I ended up buying 5 lipsticks, a travel size Strobe Cream, Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft n Gentle and 2 Pro Longwear concealers and postage only cost me USD$15 with Shipito. The shipping to my Shipito address was free so that fee was for Shipito to send it to me. It was all completed in about 2 weeks from when I placed my order. Fantastic!
So back to the lipsticks! I have Impressive, Twig, Girl About Town and Ruby Woo. I had also ordered Creme Cup but it wasn't really right for me so I passed it on to my sister.

| Swatch of Impressive |
Impressive is a Sheen Supreme Lipstick which is super hydrating, it's not very long lasting but I love it for an easy lip colour for during the day. It's easy to apply and is pretty much like a coloured lip balm in my opinion. While being USD$17 I think it's over priced and wouldn't purchase another but nevertheless this is my most used out of the 4.

| Twig |
Twig is a Satin finish lipstick. It is quite a dark 'mature' shade. It's a brown pink. The formula is very long lasting.

| Girl About Town |
Girl About Town is a Amplified formula. I love this one to bits! It's bright and pigmented. It glides on easily and is long lasting. It's my favourite.

| Ruby Woo |
Finally I have Ruby Woo which is a Matte formula. The colour is a blue red and is absolutely gorgeous! But the formula is so very dry! It feels terrible to apply, it drags across your lips. But once on its long lasting and doesn't settle in the lines of your lips. I have a love/hate with this one!

I'm really glad I finally gave MAC a go, they are worth the hype. It's super overwhelming picking out colours from the huge selection. I recommend googling the colours to see people's swatches. It helps so much! I have already returned to the MAC site and have a cart full of more lipstick shades. I might toddle over there now and add to my collection ;)
I hope your all having a great day

Hi！the prices for shipito seem really good! did you ask them to repackage your parcel or did mac just pack your products in a small box when they sent it? sometimes i hear about people getting overcharged on their parcels because of excessively large and bulky packaging?
ReplyDeleteI've not had a problem with MAC's packaging but have heard Sephora does that which would be really annoying! I've now made 3 orders with MAC and they seem to always use the same size box. It's measured at 24x17x9cm (10"x7"x4") I make small orders as I'm worried customs will pull me up! Thanks for your comment x
