Collections: MAC Cosmetics Lipsticks

Hello! Another collection update...!

I actually don't have that many MAC lipsticks, but here is my little collection. Some of the MAC finishes are hit and miss for me. I tend to like my lipsticks with a creamy satin finish. I thought all of these would be the same finish because they apply the same (except Viva Glam V), but they're actually all different! Oddly enough, Viva Glam Gaga is listed as a lustre, but applies like a satin... Confusing.

From left to right:

1. Creme Cup (Cremesheen)
2. Fanfare (Cremesheen)
3. Viva Glam Gaga (Lustre)
4. Viva Glam II (Satin)
5. Viva Glam V(Lustre)
6. Sail La Vie (Satin) - Limited Edition MAC Hey, Sailor Collection (I couldn't resist the awesome marine themed bullet and it's punny name!)

Swatches:

Above: Viva Glam II can look a bit deathly by itself, so I layer Fanfare on top to make a REALLY PRETTY neutral pink ^^

Out of these six, I probably use Sail La Vie and Viva Glam Gaga the most, although Creme Cup and Fanfare are the best for everyday. I just have so many different lipsticks in similar colors since I tend to lean towards pinky nudes and rosy colors. Buuuuut I should really wear my MAC lipsticks more often ^^;;

Also, if you haven't noticed, three of the bullets are red. This is because they are part of the Viva Glam MAC AIDS Fund program. For every Viva Glam lipstick or lipglass (what MAC called lip gloss) you buy, every cent is donated to the MAC AIDS Fund, which you can read about below. It's a nice feeling to know your make up money is going to a good cause. Plus, they always have great lipsticks and promotional campaigns for the Viva Glam.
