I feel silly writing a post about this lipstick - I bet everybody knows about it already as it's been a MAC bestseller for what seems like forever but I couldn't resist - I am in love!
If you have been reading my blog for some times, you must know by now that I'm not really into high end brands. Yes I own a couple of expensive beauty products but I have rarely purchased them by myself - I have either won them, received them courtesy of a company for review purposes or they were a gift from a friend or family member. Since I've started blogging, I have became more and more curious about MAC - especially about their lipsticks.
Spending $15 on a lipstick always appeared supid to me - I mean, I've always been happy with drugstore products, not to mention I hardly ever wore lipstick before! That's until I won my very first MAC lipstick (Lazy Day) in a giveaway (thank you so much again Kim!) and that's it - that's all it took to completely change my mind.
Being a full-time University student, I have a tight budget. Sure, I have worked hard before going to Uni to be able to entirely pay for it without having to work while studying (I was afraid my grades would drop) and to be able to afford a house when I'll be done with it, but that doesn't allow me to blow my hard-earned money on things I don't really need. That's why I'm not able to afford MAC lipsticks for now, but I have been incredibly lucky to have won some in blogs giveaways - Angel being one of them.
I won Priscilla's Facebook giveaway some time ago. The prize was a MAC lipstick of my choice and of course, I absolutely didn't know which one to choose so I decided to play it safe and go for Angel as it seems to be such a staple. From the swatches on the net, I really didn't know what to expect as it seemed to look different on everyone! I was afraid it would wash me out because I'm so pale not to mention that the frost finish scared me a bit, but I absolutely love it!
It actually reminds me a lot of Creme Cup, which I love. I have naturally pale lips and Angel seems to be a my-lips-but-better shade.
Angel is simply described as a soft pink, but it appears quite dark on the MAC website and it even looks a little mauvey to me, so I didn't know what to think because of the swatches I have seen on the net where it appears quite pale. It was such a nice surprise when I put it on for the first time! I think I have found my new favorite lisptick. Thank you soooo much Priscilla!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is such a pretty color! I have yet to try their lipsticks but I think that will be the first MAC thing I try when I do buy something! Maybe even this shade. I just love the color!

ReplyDelete@ Beauty Fiend : Oh really? I've literally scoured the net for swatches before making up my mind because this is the kind of shade that seems to look different on everyone!
ReplyDelete@Kelly @ Cynthia Z : Thanks huns, I LOVE it!
@ Miranda : You haven't tried any of their lipsticks? I honestly never thought I would one day but I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to try some for free! I think Angel is definitely a great starter shade (:
@Hershley's Sweet Kiss : Thanks! I'm sooooo happy =D
Très joli sur toi Gaby :)
ReplyDeleteLove Mac lipsticks. I really want to get this, but have heard it is so simlar to Mac Creme Cup. I know I will cave at some point and get it. x
ReplyDeleteNope, haven't tried anything MAC yet...someday soon hopefully! haha
ReplyDeleteMon chum me l'a offert l'an passe, et je l'aime bien (le chum et le rouge a levres, haha!)
ReplyDeleteI have had this lipstick on my wishlist for years now! I'm like you though, I find it hard to spend that much on a lipstick! It is very beautiful and someday soon I will pick it up. :)
ReplyDeleteJe n'ai que 4 rouges à lèvres MAC, dont celui-ci! C'est vrai que c'est une belle couleur!
ReplyDeleteSo soft and pretty - I don't think I've seen this color look bad on anyone yet! I love their scent of their lipsticks ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colour! It really suits you :) I tried this on in a store and unfortunately it was a bit too pale for me xx
ReplyDeleteLove that color! Really suits you! ^_^
ReplyDeleteThat is a very pretty color!!
ReplyDelete~Jazmin
That looks like a beautiful color. I've never bought a high end lipstick because i find the drugstore ones to be quite good. Good pick with the color!
ReplyDeleteXo
This is really gorgeous on you! I have never even tried this shade on, I will have to the next time I'm near a MAC counter!
ReplyDeleteLa couleur est superbe et tes lèvres pourraient être dans un reportage beauté de magazine.
ReplyDeleteJe te comprends de faire attention à tes sous, quand on est à l'université le budget est serré (j'ai aussi passé par là et ça nous fait apprécier la valeur des choses par la suite).
À bientôt!

@PtiteMeve : Merci (:
ReplyDelete@Bright Town Girl : I know, I have both and I'm still not sure which one I prefer! I really love the super creamy texture of Creme Cup and I wish Angel wasn't a frost, even though it doesn't really look like one!
@ Miranda : As long as you're happy with drugstore lipsticks, I don't think there is any need for MAC honeslty, but I have to admit thattheir texture and smell is incredible! I have yet to find a drugstore lipstick that is really similar, even though the ones from Revlon are quite good (:
@Ms Bubu : Chanceuse!
@ Alicia : I agree, especially when there's some good drugstore dupes out there, but nothing quite compares to MAC's formula.
@ Sanya : On dirait qu'elle va à presque tout le monde!
@Priscilla : Thank YOU Priscilla! (:
@ WitchHazel : I agree, it seems to be a universally flattering shade.
@.x.Sarah.x. : Oh really? That's what I was afraid of at first but you know, I just HAD to try it (:
@ Elizabeth King : Thanks hun!
@Hunter87 : Isn't it?
@ MaviDeniz : I totally agree, me neither! The MAC lipsticks I have, I won them (:
@ Sari : You totally should (:
@ Look.Inside.My.Closet : Exactement! Même si je travaille, c'est seulement à temps partiel donc je ne peux pas trop rien me permettre. Quant à mes lèvres, merci, mais elles sont constamment sèches ):
@beauty combat : Oh Kinda Sexy c'est un matte non? Je crois qu'il est plutôt nude?
@petitechoux: Merci (:
@ Tracy@Beauty Reflections : Thanks hun!
@Sarah S. : I think it's definitely a must-have!
@Rinny : You should check out these drugstore dupes if you don't want to pay for MAC: Revlon Primrose and Avon Pout.
This color is absolutely gorgeous! I would love to have this color!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing I love learning about new nudes. Not all of us know about all the bestsellers..lol!
