This is a lipstick
I’ve been dying to swatch and post about. It is MAC’s Flamingo, a lustre
lipstick from their Limited Edition ‘All About Orange’ Collection. I was lucky enough
to find this on eBay wwwaaaayyyy after they’d stopped doing them in stores, so
I was so excited. I love pretty much everything about this lipstick.
So when I first
tried it on, I remember being disappointed about how sheer it was, but worked
out I could build it up to be slightly thicker and more neon. It looked so
vibrant and coral-pink in the tube and when it goes on your lips it is more
like a buildable pink sheen. At first I was kind of annoyed, but it actually
turns out that flamingo is so wearable; much more wearable than when I thought
it was going to be a neon colour.
The lipstick is
creamy and balmy, and while it doesn’t add any moisture to your lips, it feels
luxurious and velvety smooth. It transfers a bit when you eat or drink, and
after time definitely fades, but I don’t really have a problem with that as it
means I can whip it out in the ladies and preen myself while my boyfriend
wonders what is taking so long.
The colour overall
is actually a milky muted coral pink, definitely not as loud as I had initially
wished for, but definitely cute and pretty and wearable. Some of the colours I
found of swatches on Google turned out to be unreliable, so be wary of this
when purchasing your lippies.
I’m actually really
pleased with this colour, and wear it pretty frequently. I got it off eBay for
about $27AUD but it came from America, which is far far more affordable than
over here in stupid Australia where cosmetics can be double or triple the
price! Since finding this online I always check eBay first before ordering, I
have saved myself a lot of money!
What’s your favourite neon pink
lipstick? Do you buy your makeup off eBay?
WANT! I definitely need to try this
