![]() I always seem to reach for it when I do a black smoky eye look. This is actually Satin finish, very comfortable, moisturizing, full of pigment & long wearing too. Its so pigmented, I never thought otherwise. I swear I never knew this lipstick wasn't from MAC's matte range (my fav!) until today when I checked its tube. It is literally perfection - a little brown, a little pink with whole lotta coverage. Believe it or not, I have enough lipglosses for one more Back to MAC purchase.If you have medium warm complexion you've gotta try MAC Lipstick in 'Twig' on your lips once. It layers well, and you can use it very subtly. It can add depth to areas where you want to create a shadowy effect. I try to avoid heavy eyemakeup for everyday wear, but have begun to go heavier for style shoots. This is an "I want to look beautiful" pink lipstick.Īs for carbon, I just got it as something every woman needs- a basic black matte eyeshadow. I was shunning pink lipsticks for awhile, but this isn't a statement pink lipstick. ![]() Seeing it in my own mirror makes me realize that it's a tad darker than I wanted it to be (again, the lighting washes it out a lot.) But I still like it a lot. which was what I was originally looking for, anyway. The biggest difference is the matte finish. The difference being Mehr is a little darker still, a little pinker, a little cooler. I didn't realize until I got home how similar of a color Mehr is to Twig. It's a glaze formula, so it does rub off on your coffee cup easily (I like a lipstick that sticks.) I think it's universally flattering. ![]() It's darker than it appears in the pictures, but great for my warm, pale skintone. With big glitter chunks, called "Cockatease" and "Hott Pink Sexx Twinkie" or whatever.īut now, I think this color suits me just fine :) ![]() I needed the kind of colors Barbie would wear. I remember hearing about this color in my college days, but I was so over it. Through all my stuttering, she somehow helped me pick out Twig - a pinky, dark-colored neutral. When the girl asked me what color lipstick I was looking for I just stammered ".Uhm. So like so many times before, I took myself to the MAC store in Flatiron and traded that old junk in for Carbon eyeshadow, Mehr lipstick, and Twig lipstick.įor some reason, I was really nervous when I got to the store. If you can believe it, I had enough bad lipglosses to cash in for THREE free products!! MAC has a recycling program called Back to Mac program, where if you bring in 6 empty containers, you get a free product! I was rummaging through some things recently and found a big baggie of old lipglosses that had turned bad. But because I amassed so much makeup, I still have a lot of leftovers that I've been lugging around, even to this day. So I got rid of all my MAC eyeshadows, bubblegum pink lipsticks, and that was that. And that's pretty much where I've stayed. I started gravitating towards retro matte lips, as well as everyday "no makeup" makeup that enhances features. I discovered that I much favored much the "beauty" look over the "I'm going to paint my entire eyelid bright turquoise" look. I didn't like the way they looked on my face. if it was bright or shiny, I liked it :)īut after about a year, I realized while I thought the girls in the livejournal groups looked cool, and I liked the look of the vibrant colors in the pots. I was very influenced by some eyeshadow-based livejournal groups at the time (ugh I know), so I had myself a little experimental eye makeup phase. So every week, I found myself at the MAC counter, perusing the glittery powders and luxurious creams. Well sometimes when people work hard, they like a big reward for themselves at the end of the day. While everyone else was out socializing and making those much-needed "connections", I was slinging steaks in order to buy groceries. I was working hard, juggling classes and doing 12-hour shifts at Applebees on the weekends. I don't know why I'm embarrassed about this, but I indulged in a slight tryst with MAC makeup in my college years.
