PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: MAC AMPLIFIED CREME LIPSTICK IN COSMO

The Beauty Junkee Tuesday, October 06, 2009
Here's an initial review on MAC AMPLIFIED CREME LIPSTICK IN COSMO

PRICE: 950PHP
PLACE BOUGHT: MAC GLORIETTA
OTHER LOCATIONS: POWERPLANT MALL; SHANGRI- LA MALL; MARIONNAUD MALL OF ASIA


THE VERDICT:

I've been reading good reviews on this lipstick shade by MAC. I wasn't supposed to buy a lipstick yesterday but this when I tried this color on, I knew that this is a shade that I couldn't pass up!

Lovely! :)

So it's a lovely pink- rose lipstick with a beige undertone that feels satin-y on the lips. Check that it seems darker on the hand swatch. But check the lip swatch.

It is actually a nude pink lipstick. For morenas, it's another great MLBB color. It's good for those days when you don't want to look too made up. The beige undertone mixed perfectly with the pink- rose shade. In day light, the hint of pink comes out, but still, it looks very natural.

Here's me wearing it. Oooh! I totally love the color! No regrets! It could pretty much go with any outfit color. Versatile lipstick colors like this one is a must- have in any stash! :)

**Another certified favorite of The Beauty Junkee and she recommends that you try it too! :)

    I've been wanting to get this too but I didn't know if it was available in MAC Glorietta. I've been having a hard time finding this online. =)

    Thanks sis, I'll be sure to pick this up!

    i'll buy this today na!!! :) and Russian Red. Mas ok ba Russian red compared to Ruby Woo? :) Does MAC Glorietta have Cosmo pa kaya?
    I like it when you do make reviews nga eh! :) At least sure ako na it works for you kasi as i've said same tayo ng color! :) I have dry skin nga lang kaya the latest blog entry about blot powder won't suit me :)

    carla: hahaha. ang dali mong kausap sis!

    ruby woo is retro matte eh, it's drier than russian red's matte texture but i seriously love how it looks on the lips. since drier matte siya, may tendency na mag-flake nga lang. naku, i wouldn't buy it if not for the gorgeous color.

    russian red is a blue- based red. it's brighter. may pagka- snow white ang dating. as compared to ruby woo, it's a tad bit darker, parang blood red na nga. pero almost 90% similar ang color nila. :)

    michelle: thanks for reading sis. i do admit that it's a great MLBB. however, in natural lighting, the rose- pink color really does come out. but nevertheless, it's a lovely rose pink lipstick with a beige undertone. the color looks so simple yet pretty on my puckers! :)

    khymm: apparently, no, lighter ang tea rose. i find this color prettier, cos tea rose has some slight coral undertones eh. it's brighter than cosmo. so di talaga magkaparehas. i like this better. :) i'll make an entry on the swatch comparison. :)
