I always take a look at the latest MAC collections with very little intent of actually buying anything. One of the more recent collections which is still available is Heavenly Creatures. I really liked several things from this collection but decided to go for the Fire Sign lipstick after seeing some swatches of it. One thing I find really annoying about the MAC site is that the colour swatches can look nothing like they do in reality so you really have to look at them at the counter or image search them to get a better idea of what they really look like.
Other Make Up I'm Wearing;
Eye Shadow- Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette, Bootycall and Tease. Revlon Vintage Lace
Eyebrows- Revlon Rich Sable
Concealer- Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Porcelain
Mascara- Boots 17 Wild Curls Waterproof in Black
Eye Liner- No. 7 Amazing Eyes Pencil in Brown
Blush- Estée Lauder Mad Men Collection Creme Rouge in Evening Rose
Powder- No. 7 Perfect Light Loose Powder in Translucent
Fire Sign is a Lustre finish so it's very sheer in both it's colour and consistency. I haven't tried their Lustres before, just their Matte, Cremesheen and Amplified Creme finishes. To be honest I'm not that impressed with the formula of the Cremesheen and Amplified Creme lipsticks that I have. I don't really get what the big deal is about MAC lipsticks, I much prefer the consistency of my Revlon and Estée Lauder ones.
Having said that, I really love Fire Sign, it's such a pretty, subtle colour and is the perfect "daytime" red. I use quotation marks because I wear Russian Red during the day as much as any other lipstick! Because of the lustre finish it doesn't last very long on the lips and needs reapplication every couple of hours, but it's such a joy to apply, you barely need a mirror and the texture is almost like a balm, it feels so light.
I've really been converted to MAC lustres and I'm already eyeing up what ones to add to my list!
I'm just back from Electric Picnic so I'll have a post on that during the week.
