I have been wanting to do my MAC lipstick swatch series again after my
MAC Purple Lipstick Swatches post and will be doing a part 2 of it soon. When MAC makes a pink lipstick that will sell out quick and it's a unique shade, I will snatch it up like nobody's business, even if the lipsticks are dupeable to one another.
L-R: Pink Pigeon, Party Parrot, Naughty You, Pink Burst, Fusion Pink, Something New
Pink Pigeon: This lipstick is one of the most saught after item and it's still a hard to find item. I adore this lipstick a lot and the application goes on smooth and creamy for a Matte finish. This lipstick was released with Iris Apfel Collection in 2012 and was repromoted with Strength Collection.
Party Parrot: Another saught after item! I really love Party Parrot very much ever since I purchased it. Like Pink Pigeon, the application goes on smooth and creamy for a Matte finish. This lipstick is like the matte version of Impassioned. This lipstick was released with Iris Apfel Collection in 2012 and was repromoted with Strength Collection.
Naughty You: I haven't been giving this lipstick any love lately and need to since it is my first Dazzle lipstick. The texture of it feels gritty when applied. I bought this to try out the Dazzle formula and to me they are okay. Maybe one day I'll use it as to layer on top of other pink lipsticks. This lipstick was released with Digi Pop Collection in 2010.
Pink Burst: This lipstick is so pretty and I cannot believe that I haven't given this lipstick love. Despite being a Frost finish, this lipstick applies like a Amplified Creme. I usually stay away from Frost lipsticks at all times but this one was an impulse buy. Love the color very much! This lipstick was released with Spring Colour Forecast Collection in 2010.
Fusion Pink: I still love this lipstick very much and love that it's a Amplified Creme! The color of this is gorgeous and what made it buy it is that I had this on my wishlist for a while ever since eyeing on it on the PRO website and snatched it on on the regular website a long time ago. Happy that this lipstick is part of the regular website for those that have been wanting this lipstick. The lipstick is part of the PRO permanent range.
Something New: Gorgeous pink shade ever! I am happy to own this lipstick when I purchased it at my MAC store. I haven't used this lipstick in awhile and need to give it more love. This lipstick was released with Stylishly Yours Collection in 2010.
L-R: Girl About Town, Moxie, Show Orchid, Candy Yum Yum
Girl About Town: This lipstick is a cult favorite of all time! If you guys remember my Girl About Town VS Lickable blog post, I used my sisters lipsticks to swatch the two together and that was when I didn't own this lipstick until now. I bought this lipstick at my Nordstrom since I have been dying to own it and it is gorgeous! I still need to give that lipstick more love though. This lipstick is part of the permanent range.
Moxie: A very pretty matte shade that was once a Retro Matte finish. It is such a pretty shade and was happy that I CP'd for this lipstick because I was scared to miss out on it. The application of it glides on smoothly without tugging and when you remove the lipstick, it leaves a beautiful stain. This lipstick was released back in 1999 and was part of the Retro Matte collection and was re-released as a Matte with By Request Collection in 2012.
Show Orchid: I recently gave Show Orchid love with a look I did recently. Being a Amplified Creme is what made me purchase this lipstick 2 or 3 years ago. Like Fusion Pink, it used to be available for PRO only until MAC decided to add it on the regular website for non-PRO members to purchase it. It is a gorgeous shade that everyone must get! This lipstick is part of the PRO permanent range.
Candy Yum Yum: This is the lipstick that was once a very rare and hard to find. When I first got this lipstick, I fell instantly in love with it! This gorgeous neon Matte lipstick is something that MAC rarely does. This lipstick was released with Quite Cute Collection in 2010, was repromoted with By Request Collection in 2012 and now is part of the permanent range.
L-R: Force of Love, Pink Pearl Pop, Viva Glam Nicki #1
Force of Love: A very gorgeous honeysuckle pink lipstick that is hard to find. When this lipstick launched online, I knew I had to have it! This is the most unique shade ever to have and there is no lipstick that I can think of a dupe for. This lipstick was released with Chen Man Collection in 2012.
Pink Pearl Pop: I adore this shade a lot and it's one of my favorite Cremesheen lipsticks. It may look frosty in it's appearance but glides on smoothly. I B2M'd for this lipstick since I knew I had to have it. This lipstick is a must have in my book and for those that don't have this lipstick yet, do get it! This lipstick is part of the permanent range.
Viva Glam Nicki #1: Ever since Nicki Minaj became the Viva Glam Spokesperson last year, I knew I had to have that lipstick for sure! It is a gorgeous pink shade that is unique. This lipstick is a gulit-free purchase because when purchasing this lipstick, every cent goes towards the MAC AIDS fund to help women, men and childern that are affected/living with HIV and AIDS. This lipstick was released last year and is still available online for purchase until February 2014.
L-R: Silly, Embrace Me, Strayin', Impassioned, Pink Nouveau, Petals & Peacocks
Silly: My recent lipstick that I bought and I love it! This color is so unique that I tried to see if there's a dupe for this lipstick but to no avail there is no dupe for this lipstick. It's such a pretty shade and happy to own it and plus it's a hard to find item. This lipstick was released with Fashion Sets Collection this year.
Embrace Me: Another pretty shade that I adore! I was so excited for MAC to release a lipstick version of the famous lip liner. I am happy to own this lipstick and this lipstick sold out so quick online that MAC never restocked it and it's a hard to find item. This lipstick was released wtih Fashion Sets Collectin this year.
Strayin': This shade is so pretty that when I purchased it. When I first tried it, it felt a littl dry and being a Frost finish, I did expect the dry texture and the frostiness of this lipstick. If you exfoliate your lips first and apply lip balm, then you have no problem with this lipstick's application. I still have this very pretty lipstick evne though I do not like Frost lipsticks but I'm giving this one a chance. This lipstick was part of the Hello Kitty Collection in 2009.
Impassioned: One of my absolute favorite lipsticks of all time! When I first bought Impassioned, I was so happy to own it because it was on my wishlist for a while. Love that it's a watermelon pink shade that is hard to resist and perfect for the Spring and Summer time. This lipstick is what you need for your lipstick stash! This lipstick is part of the permanent range.
Pink Nouveau: After hearing a lot about Pink Nouveau last year, I had to purchase this lipstick. It is very pretty and it does require lip liner for darker skintones to make it work. Being a Satin finish lipstick, the pigmentation is amazing! This lipstick suits best on lighter skintones. This lipstick is part of the permanent range.
Petals & Peacocks: I swear that this lipstick is too gorgeous that this is a hard to find item. When I first got this lipstick, I rarely touched it in the beginning and now since owning it for so long, I do need to give this lipstick love. I am happy to own this lipstick! This lipstick was released with Give Me Liberty of London Collection in 2009.
