| Lip Color: MAC Lustering |
Hey Yall! You know how much I love playing in makeup. I'm no makeup guru, but I enjoy learning and using the latest beauty products.
Lately, I haven't been wearing as much makeup, and that's because it's summer and I don't want my face melting off, plus I'm digging a more natural look.
I told y'all last year that I gave up on MAC Cosmetics foundations due to it breaking my skin out and being too heavy on my face, however, I didn't stop using their other products like their eyebrow pencil and lipsticks.
Speaking of lipsticks, did you know I haven't paid a single dime for any lipsticks I have from MAC? Yep, true! And it's all thanks to their recycling program. When you save six empty containers from MAC and return them to a MAC Cosmetic store, you can choose one certain lipstick for free.
So, I've been stocking up my empty MAC containers for over a year now and got to choose four new lipsticks. So here's the math:
6 empty containers = 1 free lipstick
I received four free lipsticks, so that means I turned in 24 empty makeup bottles. Wow, that's a lot of makeup products I used, but it was mainly empty eyebrow pencils.
I don't wear lipstick all the time since my lips are naturally colored, but when I do wear lipstick the colors I choose are more of a natural red or pink tones. I'm not all about the drama on my lips with colors like blue, purple, and yellows. I guess you can call me Plain Jane.
Check out the lippies I picked out. I did swatches for you. Do you think I did a good job choosing the colors?

I will say this about MAC lipsticks; they have some of the most beautiful, vibrant, pigmented shades of colors. Perfect for everyone's taste levels. Some colors give the lips a shiny effect, and some of MAC's lipsticks are matte for all day lasting power.
I prefer the lipsticks that are not matte because matte has my lips dry, cracking, and peeling. So not a good look. The lipsticks that are creamy textured doesn't last all day, but the way it has my lips poppin' like lip gloss I don't mind reapplying.
Remember about National Lipstick Day! Make sure to show off your cutest lippies!
Do you base your lipstick colors on whatever season it is?
