New Lipstick Pick-ups!

It has been a while since I purchased a new lipsticks so I thought I would treat myself! =) I chose Mac's "Up The Amp" and from their All About Orange Collection, "Tangerine Dream." 

Tangerine Dream:

I love orange-y, coral colors so I just had to buy something from the All About Orange Collection. Sadly, my local Mac counter only had two shades left. "Tangerine Dream" is a shade of orange I don't have so I had to pick it up! I applies very sheer. I do need to mute out my lips with concealer/foundation before applying the color because my lips are too dark. In addition, pick up a matching lip gloss, that won't erase the beautiful color.

Up The Amp:

I always gravitate toward nudes, pinks, and corals. I wanted a wild color...and "Up The Amp" is certainly the most wildest color I own lol. It applies so creamy and comfortable on the lips. I can't wait to wear this!

Smoked Out Red Brick Pictorial

Mac's "Red Brick" is one of my staple colors, instantly adding warmth to any look. I usually use it in my crease, but decided to do something different and apply it on the lid. Red Brick is a reddish-orange matte color, easy to work with, and highly pigmented. Best of all, I love that it is buildable, so you can make it as intense and bright as you want, or something light and neutral. Scroll down to see the products used and pictorial!
