Mac All About Orange Lipsticks| Flamingo, Razzledazzler and Sushi Kiss



I have to confess that I have an obsession for lipsticks no matter what brand or colour I just love them!! I think it is one of the best make up products that just light up your face!
Recently Mac launched their All About Orange Collection and oh boy was I excited! I love orange lipsticks and since I have been hooked on Mac lipsticks recently I had to get my hands on some of them.
This collection from Mac has 7 lipsticks ranging from light peaches to neon oranges. Since I already have quite a bit of orange lipsticks in my collection I thought it would be wiser to get the neutral shades because Mac lipsticks can be a bit heavy on the wallet.

So here I have and in love with three gorgeous shades from the Mac All About Orange Collection and they are  Flamingo, Razzledazzler and Sushi Kiss.

(L-R) Flamingo,Razzledazzler,Sushi Kiss

Flamingo is the pinkest of the lipsticks in the whole collection and is a lustre finish. It is gorgeous creamy pink colour with some hint of coral somewhere hidden in it. If you are not the orange/coral fan then this suits the best! Its creamy and applies smoothly. On me it looked like a perfect pinky nude shade that made me look healthy and give that really nice glow! The good thing about them is that the colour can be built up as one likes!

Razzledazzler is also a lustre finish therefore it is glossy. It definitely has more peachy tone to it and I am wearing it as I am writing about it. I feel it very hydrating like all the lustre finish lipsticks. It can be worn as a gorgeous nude colour that gives a hint of peaches and looks oh-so-natural. I just love it!

Sushi Kiss was more of like- should I or should I not lipstick. But since it was a Satin finish which I prefer of all the other finishes from Mac, and also since it was raved about so much I went with the decision of getting it! And I am so pleased I did so. Its super opaque, pigmented and stands out so much. It is so unique to any of the lipsticks that I own. Its described as a mid tone coral and yes it does give that hint of orange mix with coral. I don't know why but all I can think of when wearing is a Salmon Sushi..lol..!!But yeah it is gorgeous and I will treasure it forever!!

My Top 5 Lipsticks for Spring/Summer


If I were to choose my favourite make-up product then I would instantly say "Lipsticks". I love colours and I just love lipsticks. I think that even if you don't have any make up on then a dab of lipstick can change your appearance.

I really like to try all shades of colours, and if I could I would wear it all. But, as all shade don't suit me, its disappointing that I can't wear all of those lovely shades!

However, I have picked up Top 5 lipsticks which I think are really good for the Spring/Summer season. I have mixed both bright and neutrals that I would wear according to the occasion. It was quite hard to pick only 5 but I did it finally! Yeah.!!So here they are:

1. Maxfactor in Shocking Coral

This is the colour that I have been loving this month. It is a peachy pink colour that looks really pretty on the lips. It can be bright at first but it starts to fade out into a beautiful shade like more of a natural pink that matches my lip colour. Its amazinggggg!! I love it!!



2.Revlon Colorburst Lip butter in Candy Apple



This is a red with orange undertone or can be said even the other way round. It is sheer and glossy and glides on smoothly. Since this is from the Lip butter range it is very moisturising and glossy. Its a colour that would look wonderful in the sunny days when you have your prettiest dress on!! Can't wait to wear it this summer!!



3.Mac(Amplified) in Impassioned



I love Mac lipsticks, no matter if its red, pink or nudes. But for this season I am loving the shade Impassioned from the Amplified range. Its a hot pink, I could even categorize it as a neon pink. But it is absolutely a gorgeous colour for a night out and it will definitely make you stand out!!




4.Soap and Glory in Super Nude

This is a very matt nude lipstick from Soap and Glory that I wear when I want a more neutral or laid back look. Its quite creamy and stays on for a long time. However, you have to have a very moisturised lips and keep a lip balm handy whenever you use this one.




5.The Body Shop Colour guide Lip Colour in shade 07 Rose Pink




This is a perfect nude for me.I am so glad that I found it in The Body Shop. Its the shade 07 Rose Pink. This lipstick is browny nude that is a bit glossy. It is very moisturising and stays on the whole day. Its a lip colour that you can just wear whenever you want, and specially for the rush hour when you don't know which shade to wear, this is just perfect!!

So, this is my Top 5 Lipsticks for Spring/Summer. Now I will just have to wait for the actual Spring to start. So fingers crossed hope it will be soon!!!
