Believe it or not, this is my first ever MAC lipstick! In the past, when I have walked past the MAC counter in Selfridges, I have felt like I didn't belong and I've carried on walking. It's difficult to describe, I don't feel threatened, just uncomfortable. But I decided to bite the bullet, take the plunge and buy my first MAC product! I went for lipstick as it fits the blog name and I had read so many positive reviews and comments about MAC lipsticks that I just had to try them for myself.
I was shopping on a Saturday, maybe not the best day to pop into MAC in hindsight! All the staff were rushing around and it was difficult to even look at the lipsticks, it was that busy! They had that many shades and finishes of lipstick that I honestly didn't know where to begin. So I started by asking someone to help me. I approached a woman at the till who was busy, but she wasn't serving any customers. She managed to find someone to help me find a lipstick. He sat me down on a stool and asked me what colour I would like, I replied with a nude lipstick with a hint of pink. He then picked out a shade and applied Creme Cup on my lips with a brush.
The lipstick feels moisturising and it glides on my lips effortlessly, with and without a brush. It is part of the cremesheen lipsticks, which have a creamy texture and keep your lips soft. It also provides a subtle shine. The scent is delicious, a yummy vanilla scent that makes me want to lick my lips! I find that just a few coats create the perfect nude/pink shade that compliment my skin tone, however one too many coats and it's too pink. On the MAC website it is described as a light blue pink.
I am impressed with this lipstick, I like the shade and I love the creamy moisturising formula. Before repurchasing, I will be testing different shades to find my favourite one. I think I'll try and save this lipstick for special occasions at first, £14 is quite steep for a lipstick but the formula is so good, so maybe it's worth it!
Have you tried Creme Cup? What is your favourite shade of MAC lipsticks?
