More MAC to add to my collection

I am so lucky to have a husband who, yes it is not very rare, but when he does treat me , he knows exactly what I like and love.

So he asked me which two MAC lipstick shades I was wanting and went and picked them up in store. Although he spent a full day rummaging around the North East for a store where you can get them from , he eventually ended up in the one place that drives him crazy,,,,, The Metrocentre in Gateshead!
He absolutely hates going there so I knew he was wanting to really cheer me up when he told me had to go there as Sunderland store did not have the MAC stand there yet. Metro was a whole 30 minute more drive away so that's a 2 hour drive as well as the 2 hours searching , He definately made it worth while though when he brought back extras which I have reviews in the posts before this .

So anyway , lets show you the MAC , as I know you are more interested in seeing those .

Creme cup...........

I asked the social media , which MAC lipstick was their favourite and Creme cup was the most mentioned so I most definitely thought it best to pick this one.

Creme cup is a creamsheen lipstick which is a light blue pink / a cool toned whitish pink.
The texture is creamy and slightly glossy. It has tendency to settle in fine lines of lips. So a lip pencil underneath is highly recommended. This lasts on my lips and stays on for around 3 hours on lips without any touchups and has medium pigmentation. It does not build up too well. I feel the more I add to it , the more it looks clumpy and uneven. Of course like all MAC lipsticks, this smells of that amazing vanilla scent and this shade suits light /pale / medium skin tones best.

I actually never thought I would like this so much but looking at the picture of it here , I feel it looks better than Ii thought it did.

I always look for a shade in lipstick that I can wear on a daily basis like a pale pink or nude tone and this fits perfectly with my liking. This shade is very much raved about and I for one am pleased with it and can see me needing more when I use it all up.

I am enjoying this matched with a pink blush and nude eye look  and this has definitely made the top 5 list in my collection of lipsticks .

Myth..............

Myth is the one lipstick I had no help in deciding to purchase. This was the first choice this time round . I had been searching on the internet for the perfect nude shade and this kept coming up on the search bar and also was recommended by my blogger friends too .

Myth Lipstick is a pale pink-tinted beige nude with a creamy consistency. It has a satin finish and is very pigmented just like the others. It is one of the most popular of the permanent range of their lipsticks and it is no surprise why .
I find this very moisturising on my lips and it stays well for around 4-5 hours depending on how much I drink during the wear. 

As with all my MAC lipsticks , I like to apply a lip balm to make the shade look calm but if I want it to be bold I simply apply it on without a lip balm  and the effect of both are totally different .

The shade on my lips make this lipstick look almost like a light concealer look with a very slight tint of coral pink tone sneaking through. I am in love with this

I am in love with this lipstick , I am using this more than any of the others .

So do you own any MAC lipsticks , what do you think , which is your favourite ?

I would be interested in any opinions on my next choice of shades so if anyone can give me some ideas on what shades I should get next , maybe some more colourful ones, I would be very interested in your choices.

I have just come back from buying a new Mac lipstick, Completely different and mad shade to what I normally would get. I was told it would add a pop of colour and was very 'In' at the minute.Watch out for my review of this, Great review by the way and fantastic pictures.Surely you should have some wrinkles having 7 children and a husband!

I am not a huge make-up wearer, a flick og black eye liner is my usual routine- but I can see my 17 year old reallly suiting the top pink, and she LOVES her make up!

It's really hard to tell what they look like on your lips as your photos are so photoshopped! You should ditch the blur effect and let the colour do the talking.

Your husband certainly is a gem!
Lovely shades. I think the pink looks better on you (unfortunately I fear both would look terrible on me!).

Great post!
I'm currently looking for some new MAC lipsticks so this post has definitely helped in my decision making!
I have a MAC lipstick at the moment which is my all time favourite. It's a Retro Matte stick in All Fired Up. I find that this colour is perfect if you like bright and bold lipstick as it's not shiny or too bright due to it being matte. I definitely recommend the Retro Matte range to anyone, I love them!
The shades you've got look lovely on you though:)
