Around the World in 80 Eyeshadows: Weekly Round-Up 10/22/12


Question of the Week:
 
What is one product that you had high hopes for but left you disappointed?

Emily's answer: I would have to go with MAC lipsticks, granted I've only ever tried the cremesheen finish but it was still so awful I don't plan on ever getting another lipstick from MAC! I got Creme d'Nude last year when I was obsessing over nude lips and just discovered MAC. It was just such a cake-y formula on my lips, sunk into every crevice and just look horrid (it wasn't the color, that was the only part that actually looked good)! It was so surprising to me because everyone and their mother raves about MAC lipsticks, the cremesheen finish in particular. Unless there was a color that I just absolutely cannot dupe in another brand, I will be staying far far away from the lipstick stand at MAC!

  1. Try their Satin or Amplified finish - they're really nice & creamy! :) I have Creme d Nude too, and it's horrid! It melts super easily, too!

    1. Not sure I want to step near another MAC Lipstick again haha! Any recommendations for Satin or Amplified colors? xx

  2. I love love love the Amplified finish of MAC lipsticks, so I second Romzs here. I also like Glaze and Matte formulas although the MAC mattes can be super drying. It sucks that you had such a horrible experience though!

    1. I've considered trying the Glaze finish before just because it does sound super hydrating, but I dunno I'm super happy with my Revlon lipsticks so I don't really feel the need to get anymore from MAC! xx
