This is a post I have had planned for a while and I FINALLY got around to getting photos and everything for it prepped!
Disclaimer: Now, by NO means do I consider myself a beauty blogger by doing this.
(Although I read some absolutely incredible beauty blogs on the regular, I'm looking at you Caroline @Iridescent Places, Kay @Shoes and Glitter, Sonja @Troves and Roses, Megan @Life with MCM. You beauty gurus are amazing.)

Look, I like makeup, and I'm semi-decent at it. That's literally my current state.
I don't properly experiment with it a whole lot, but on the rare occasions that I do, I enjoy it...
but only if it works out well :P

Am I the only girl out there who takes a HUGE sigh of relief once their eyes are done,
cause to me the rest is easy and MUCH more failproof :P
(Eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadows can be so. scary. And they sense the fear. :P)
Slow and steady girls, slow and steady. :P
Anyways, I do love how simply and beautifully lipsticks can add to makeup looks!
Before I travelled to India last year (you can read about that here!), I had already decided that on the way back I would make the most of duty free shopping in Singapore airport and...
BUY.
MY.
FIRST.
MAC.
LIPSTICKS.
(EVER!)
:O
I know, I know, very late to the game, but exciting nonetheless!
So without further ado,
My first three black bullets.
Love.
From left to right: Dubonnet, Ruby Woo, Hot Gossip.
Let's go through them, shall we? ☺️
Amplified Creme Lipstick
My mum picked this colour out and how gorgeous is it!
This deeper red lipstick is so creamy and has a beautiful sheen.
MAC HOT GOSSIP
Cremesheen Lipstick
I had gone into MAC wanting a mauve-y, everyday, my lips but better shade.
This didn't end up being it, but it is oh so pretty!
I think it's a very angelic kind of pink and man,
does this lipstick have some pretty sparkle and shimmer through it!
I have to add, this one feels SO incredibly moisturising & hydrating, almost like putting a lip balm on!
MAC RUBY WOO
Retro Matte Lipstick
Ahhh, so I had decided I was definitely going to pick this one up after hearing all about it from beauty bloggers and vloggers everywhere.
This is known as MAC's Famous Ruby Woo, the red lipstick that is universally flattering and works on every complexion possible.
And I have to say - I am super impressed by it, incredibly matte and a striking red!
Now I'm going to pretend to be all professional beauty blogger and swatch them for you :P
(From bottom to top: Dubonnet, Ruby Woo and Hot Gossip)
And there we have it! The beginning of my MAC Lipstick collection!
I hope you guys liked this post, I thought it would be fun for me to document my first MAC Lipsticks. Plus, I love posts like this from other beauty bloggers and since I finally had some new beauty products - I thought I would give it a go!
I'm a sucker for people doing posts or videos with lip colour swatches,
I'm always hunting for the perfect shades!

I'm loving them so far, Inma! :)
DeleteRaashi, you look incredible! I love the shade of all three but the Mac Hot Gossip looks amazing! I love pink lipsticks and it looks like the perfect shade! I don't own any Mac lipsticks, although I work at a department store which gives me discount for Mac products but there's too many shades to choose from hahah! I'm so indecisive! Great review! x
ReplyDeleteTOUCHOFGUCCI // BLOGLOVIN
Awww, you are so, so sweet. That's so lovely of you! Really? That actually is so nice for me to hear because I've always felt a little insecure with super light pinks on myself.
DeleteHaha oh my gosh, girl, get onto that! I feel like the discount makes it more than justifiable! I picked up these ones during duty free shopping :) But, I do get what you mean, the shade selection is overwhelming to say the least! :P
Ah Raashi, I actually love them all :)
ReplyDeleteI've only recently felt 'brave' enough to properly embrace more bold colours so love that you've done a little review here! Have really been tempted to try out Mac lipsticks for myself so now I have no excuse not to ;)
Much love! Ana xx

Thank you, Ana!!! I totally get you! I've always stuck to such nude, normal colours (and the odd red every now and then), but it's definitely fun to try out and embrace something a bit different every now and then :) I had never tried any MAC lipsticks before, but I have to say I do quite like them now :)
DeleteI also have Ruby Woo lipstick, love it!
ReplyDeleteThe White Ocean
Ruby Woo is actually amazing! I love it too! Thanks for stopping by, Lena! :)
DeleteI like yourself have never tried MAC lippies, and still never have lol. But these shades look amazing,i'm not going to lie, I've never heard of the first two shades buy holy moly, they sure do look great ♥ P.s I love how we've randomly got our posts in sync, I've got a lipstick post going up tomorrow haha ♥
ReplyDeletetipscapsule.blogspot.com
So many of my friends had talked about it, it was about time I picked some up and I justified me finally buying them during duty free shopping :P Haha, oh my gosh, don't worry - neither had I! Hehe, I saw that too and loved it <3
DeleteGreat choices, they look lovely on you! I've only got one Mac lipstick but I looove it! Most of mine are from Kiko who I really can't recommend enough (you can't go in there without leaving with half the shop hahaha) xxx
ReplyDeleteLucy @ La Lingua | Food, Travel, Italy
Thank you so much, Lucy! Oooh, which one do you have? I have heard so much about Kiko, I need to see if I can get my hands on it in Aus!!! :)
DeleteYou look gorgeous! I love Ruby Woo, I've heard a ton about it, and it looks amazing on your skin tone! I haven't gotten any Mac lipsticks yet either, but I recently got my first Nyx soft matte lip cream! They're just as good as everyone says they are.
ReplyDeleteAngelina Is | Bloglovin'
Awww, Angelina, thank you so much! I had heard so much about it before and I have to say I can see why everyone raves about Ruby Woo. Oh my gosh, NYX lip creams are my next purchase too! :)
DeleteSuch a fun post - love the eye-liner quote - SO true haha. All the lipsticks look great on you, but I think I love Hot Gossip in particular! xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Miranda! HOW TRUE IS IT! Haha. Awww thank you! That's nice to hear because I've always been a bit insecure about light pink lipsticks on myself!
Deletei only bought my first mac lipsticks last year and out of those two film noir is my favourite:-) and i'm definitely wanting more! and all these shades look so lovely on you! i'll have to look into ruby woo as well since everyone seems to love it so much! xx
ReplyDeleteI just googled film noir and it looks divine! Ruby Woo is actually amazing, I've totally jumped on that bandwagon too :P
DeleteOhhh my gosh, girl, this is such a fab haul, and thank you so much for mentioning me, yay! :) <3 I absolutely loved this post and I really hope you do more beauty posts in the future! :) All the shades you picked are absolutely lovely, but I'd have to go with Dubonnet as my favourite one on you. The deep red shade is just so classy and feminine, and I really like the sheen finish! You really can't go wrong with MAC lippies. :) Thank you for sharing, and I hope you're well. Kisses. x

Kay! You are more than welcome, I'm so glad I was able to! Thank you!!! Maybe the odd one here and there :P I never thought of a grabbing a shade like Dubonnet but I do really love it! A little more sophisticated for sure :P Thanks for reading, lovely :)
DeleteI absolutely loved this post and you've definitely made me want to take a trip to MAC! These shades all look amazing, you look gorgeous in all of them! I particularly love Ruby Woo, it really suits you! Thank you so much for mentioning me, you're such a sweetheart! Lovely post! xo

DeleteThank you lovely for mentioning me! all of these look so wonderful on you and I know what you mean, Mac lipsticks are definitely my favourite ones to purchase - so swoon worthy! Hot gossip looks like the perfect shade for Spring/Summer time! Loved this post and definitely would love to know if you have more beauty buys :) xx
ReplyDeletewww.iridescentplaces.com
You are so welcome, you know how highly I think of your blog, Caroline! I was a little unsure of Hot Gossip when I put it on but I'm getting more comfortable with it, definitely so light and pretty for spring/summer! Thank you!!! Might do a few random beauty posts in the future :)
DeleteWow you look so amazing!! Love the lippies on you! :)
ReplyDeleteNew post on GIRL ABOUT TOWN BLOG

Thank you, Richel! That's so sweet of you, and thank you for stopping by! :)
DeleteHi girlie, just found your blog and I'm really loving it : )
ReplyDeleteMy fave out of these shades has got to be Hot Gossip. It looks really pretty and even prettier on you! :) I own three shades myself and they're all kind of nudes (Hue, Brave & Faux) so I'm definitely going to have to look more into they're darker shades next :)
Have a lovely day!

Hey Emma! Thank you so much for stopping by!! Awww you're so, so sweet - that's actually so nice to hear because I've always been a bit unsure of light pink lipsticks on myself! Hue and Brave look so, so pretty! MAC has such a massive range, it's overwhelming! :P
DeleteFirstly - I'm SO GLAD TO SEE MORE OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE! <3 Secondly, welcome to the addictive world of MAC lipsticks...eek! I'm glad you got Ruby Woo, it's such a classic! My favourite ever shades are Brave + Plumful, definitely google some swatches as I reckon plumful will look lush on you!
ReplyDeleteMusings & More
EMILY. You never fail to absolutely make my day, you are amazing <3 Hahaha, oh my goodness, I can already feel that, all these new shade suggestions are making me want to go out and buy some new ones ASAP! *Monkey covering eyes emoji*. I just googled plumful and I'm already a bit obsessed, want to go in-store and try it out tomorrow :P
DeleteThe lipsticks look amazing on you, you picked the perfect colours! I especially love the look of Ruby Woo. I only got one MAC lipstick, Diva - it's a gorgeous dark red colour. I try to stick to brands like Topshop, their lipsticks are amazing, you should try them. ;) xx
ReplyDelete113-things-to-say.blogspot.com
Thank you Mira! So sweet <3 Ruby Woo is so hyped and I honestly think for good reason now :) Oooh Diva looks so pretty! I actually will give that a go next time I go into Topshop, thanks for the suggestion! :)
DeleteYou look so beautiful - these lipsticks fits you perfectly! I especially love the first, darker one! I'm currently in the process of getting used to seeing my own face with colored lips and wearing a bit more lipstick and right now I'm loving the more natural and darker ones! xxx
ReplyDeleteFilippa ⎮ Always a Dot
Filippa! You are so sweet!!! I usually don't gravitate to darker colours but I do quite like this one! Awww, I'm such a sucker for natural ones too! :)
DeleteCongrats on your first MAC lipsticks :D ( I have yet to gain that achievement haha. We have MAC here,but it is just so expensive)
ReplyDeleteDubonnet is beautiful. I like all of them, but Dubonnet is just perfection.
I laughed so hard to that eyeliner text XD That is so true! Liquid eyeliner is my holy grail in makeup haha,I use it every day. And when I'm done with it, then I can relax and put everything else (don't you just hate it when you blend multiple eyeshadow colours perfectly and then mess up your eyeliner so you have to do it all over again? *shudders* ) :D
Thumbs up for this post and I hope you will do more of these ^^

Hehe, thanks, Rory! Hahaha gosh, they definitely are, I justified myself buying these during some duty free shopping :P Awww thank you, I'm surprised at how much I love Dubonnet, too.
DeleteTHE EYELINER THING IS SO TRUE. Hahaha, I can relate so hard, I always use eyeliner! Oh my gosh, right!?!?! And I am not that great at eyeshadow to begin with, so it is just so upsetting when that happen! :/ Haha, struggles, am I right? :P
Awww thank you, hopefully the odd post here and there, for sure :)
I love the cream formula of Mac lipsticks, but actually I love all their lipsticks! You can't go wrong with Ruby Woo. One of my favourites is Mac Twig, it's such a lovely nude shade in the satin formula.
ReplyDeleteSally - DiagonSally
The cream ones are amazing, Sally! Didn't realise they would feel so nice on! I just saw twig in a swatch and it's absolutely lovely!!! :)
DeleteI only have a few mac lipsticks i really want to try these ones!
ReplyDeleteDarriyan xx | darriyancateland.blogspot.com
Thanks for reading, Darriyan! I never had any MAC lipsticks, but do really love these ones! :)
