Here are my initial reviews on my MAC CREMESHEEN LIPSTICK IN LAVENDER WHIP and MAC STYLE WARRIOR LIPGLASS IN GOLD REBEL.
MAC Cremesheen l/s in Lavender Whip is a satin lavender colored lipstick. It has a good pigment pay- off and is buildable so you could go sheer and swipe thrice on your lower and upper lip for a noticeable pastel touch on your face. It's a very nice color that could be worn with purple and pink eyeshadows and is perfect in toning down smokey- eye looks. It's the most gorgeous violet lipstick I've tried. Other violet variants are violetta and up the amp but these appear as violet when worn on lips so it kinda' takes guts to pull it off. Apart from that, it's hard to mix and match these colors with eyeshadows. There might be a danger of looking too made up. Somehow, I find up the amp and violetta a little off if you wear it alone. Lavender Whip is a gorgeous violet- nude l/s.
THE VERDICT:
Gold Rebel is a shade of lipglass from the Style Warrior Collection. It's appears as an orange- copper shade on the tube with gold shimmer. It pays off as a nude lipgloss with a hint of orange color. It's really sexy and I could see myself wearing this during summer. Also, it gives your lips a sexy luscious look. It's great for everday because it adds a lovely orange- gold shine on your lips. The color is not overpowering and I love how it enhances my natural lip color. I see this looking good on morenas because it enhances a tan and this is also good for fair skinned chicas.
Overall, I love both. And I can't think of any con except for Lavender Whip being sold out already and Gold Rebel is out of stock in most MAC outlets so be sure to drop by Marionnaud because they are releasing Style Warrior tomorrow! Make sure you check out the collection because believe me, they sell like pancakes.

ReplyDeleteLavender Whip is exactly the shade of pale pink-purple lipstick I've been looking for! Now I know what to get! Thanks for swatching it! :D
ReplyDeleteI remember when Lavender Whip was the hype. And it takes guts to wear it. I think its a beautiful color, but I don't really have fair skin to go with it. . . so I look like I drowned with it on.
ReplyDeletecrystal: yeah, that's a problem of mine too. basically my problem with lipglosses. :)
ReplyDeleteangie: unfortunately, this is sold out already. i had to buy this at an exorbitant price of 46sgd (around 1500php) from a direct seller. i also had to ask my mom to buy this item in singapore because the seller is from singapore! :)
my- my: i have morena skin. and i must say this is a lovely pastel color that will look good on fair and morena beauties. :)
gold rebel really looks pretty but if it's sticky, i'll have to pass..
ReplyDeletepurplesilke: i think stickiness is an innate quality of a lipgloss so expect this to be a bit sticky. but it's not uber sticky. it's slick and has a bit of stickiness to it. unlike pout, which is like glue on my lips because everything seems to get stuck on my lips. i'd rather have glosses with a bit of stickiness than sloppy glosses that run all over your lips like fashion 21's cherry roll- on lipgloss. :)
ReplyDeleteoh that gold rebel gloss reminds me of my MAC sexy sweet lipglass.. =)
ReplyDeleteLavender whip looks good on you..
khymm: thanks sis. i just bought one from the style warrior collection. i'm gonna wait for the other collections. but i heard, purple rite is a gorgeous purple lipstick. i'm kinda, curious about that but as far as i'm concerned, lavender whip is the most gorgeous lavender l/s for me! :)
