MAC Craving Lipstick - A Swatch & Review

MAC Craving Lipstick
A Swatch & a raving Review

mac craving lipstick swatch on lips review beauty blog

Having seen a raving review about this lipstick over on the lovely Kimmy's blog 'the beautyisles' 
I knew I needed it in my collection!

Debenhams were having a 10% off beauty event. 
Into my online basket it went. I am so glad I did as it is such a pretty shade.

This is a Amplified Creme lipstick that MAC describe as a "burst of plum". 
I agree it's a lovely plum however leaning more towards a pinkier shade of plum rather than a deeper shade of plum that springs to mind. I can see this being one of my favourite everyday 'go-to' lipsticks. Perfect for both day but equally as gorgeous for a evening too.

Amplified Creme formula is a creamy pigmented lipstick with a sheen slight gloss finish, comfortable and moisturising to wear. Giving a good colour pay-off.

This lipstick also pairs really nicely with my MAC Soar Lip-liner pencil.

My first 'Cohorted' purchases!


Ok so i made my first Cohorted purchase...and you guessed it! ..... It was a MAC lipstick!

For those of you who haven't heard of Cohorted...
How Cohorted works is each Monday at 6pm 4 cohorts go live, so this can vary week to week from MAC lipsticks to Sigma brushes or Urban Decay Naked palettes.

People join the one they want to win and when more people click to buy the price goes down. You pay the final reduced price.

Satin lipstick formula. 
This is my 1st satin finish lipstick from MAC. 
I'd say that it was a cross between creamsheen and amplified with a sheen to it.

Wow this is a fabulous full on bright blue-pink!!
An amplified creme formula lovely and creamy with a punch and pop of colour.
A bold fuchsia pink. 
I was so pleased to buy this one as it is a pro store lipstick, so is only in selected MAC stores.

Confession... I seem to be a bit of a Lipstick FIEND

My name is Adele and I am a Lipstick fiend!!


Lipstick Fiend


As of late can't seem to go anywhere near MAC without picking up another lipstick shade ..... or 3. (My last post is proof of that!)
Admittedly, in my defence their lipsticks are such great quality, the formula spot on and the sheer selection of colours to choose from are fantastic. I am literally spoilt for choice. Oh and smell and taste of delicious vanilla.

I love their quirky names.
For example... 
'Chatterbox' I had this one on my wish-list for a while. 
Went shopping fully not intending to buy any make-up, I failed miserably when I saw a poster of some sort on a phone-box that said 'chatterbox' ....Well obviously it had to be a sign!! 
I have to say I am so glad I bought it because it is such a pretty pink lipstick. 
One of my all time favourite MAC colours.

So anyway...

This got me thinking... 

Why do I enjoy lipstick so much?
Here's what I came up with....

Lipstick does not go up a size.
Is always there for you when you have a bad day.
Never fails to brighten your smile.
You can instantly look more awake & put together with one swipe.
Contains no calories.
Does not judge or comment.
Can fit in your handbag or pocket.
Doesn't ask anything of you...other than not to leave in the hot sun to melt!
You always look like you have made an effort when wearing lipstick.
Can change up an outfit.
Can be worn throughout all the seasons.

Can make you feel extra special
Lastly
Makes you feel good & gives you that extra bit of confidence.

I know it's a lot for one little tube to achieve, but the 'pop' of a bold lip colour never fails to cheer me up. 
Even if it is just around the house!! 
Yes... I have been known to do the dishes wearing MAC's 'Girl about town' or 'Pink Pigeon' and why not eh?!!

That's without mentioning the thrill I get from choosing the colour, swatching them all on my hand, (eventually deciding on the one I swatched first) and hurrying home to try it on!

Oh and one more thing the Queen wears it and touches up the lipstick on the go!!
Don't believe me?.....

Her majesty the queen lipstick

Told you!!
So next time you're feeling a bit blue, reach for that special lipstick and smile!!

Take time for you. Take care and look after yourself.

MAC Pink Pigeon Lipstick is back


Did anyone see the Big Brother 2nd live eviction on Friday 20th June 2014? 
Which saw Pauline booted out of the house?
Well, if you did then most likely like me you will have noticed the stunning lip colour Emma Willis was rocking.
