I went shopping this week and ended up spend roughly 5000 baht (roughly 155 USD) at MAC counter. WOW. I thought i was hypnotised. In Thailand MAC is more expensive than in the US. But in Japan it's even MORE expensive. Thus, travelling only between Thailand and Japan doesn't really leave me with much choice on where to get my US cosmetics.
I went to MAC to get myself a mineralize skin finish in light plus as I had hit the pan on my old one. I waited until the new packaging arrived in Thailand and i went for it. It was so much better than the old ones. YAY! thank god MAC gives us some mirror to work with! However, i'm not so found of the price. I remembered myself buying this pressed powder at approximately 1000 baht a 2-3 years back, now it's 1600. I feel ripped off. T_T
Let's talk about what I'm reviewing today. Along with the skin finish, i got myself some other product from the mineralize line. Which is the blush in Cheeky Bronze and Rich lipstick in dreamdaze. The blush is just amazing, and i think all of you already know how nice MAC mineralize blushes are. I prolly gonna talk about that next entry. But I wanna talk about the lipstick first.
Texture and Pigmentation:
First thing about Mineralize Rich lipstick is that it keeps your lip hydrated. I'm having problems with my lip lately because I'm taking pills for my acne and it made my lip as dry and as hard as sand. The Matte lipstick I owned doesn't really work for me anymore so i decided to get one of these. I don't own any lip from this line and I definitely haven't try them before and all I have to say is that it works so amazingly! It's really easy to apply as it is so soft and also can covered up your real lip color in just one application.
The texture was almost like a colored lip balm but with full pigmentation like a lipstick!
Color:
The color I bought is called Dreamdaze. It's a nudy pink with small golden shimmer. I swatched on my arm before i decided to buy and it works even better on my lip. I love the color sooo much. It works perfectly for an everyday look. Not too pale and not too pink. Moreover the gold shimmers are just lovely. This color is almost like NARS ORGASM blush but with lighter color. See the photo below! (I was a little bit too harsh, not so used to such a soft and nice lipstick T_T)
See that beautiful golden shimmer hidden within the pink? Oh gosh i just love it!
How long does it last?
I didn't count the hours exactly. But as i checked by looking in the mirror, I found out that it will last like that until you eat/drink something. Drinking with straw is still ok, but sipping from the cup with totally washed the lip away. But as long as you don't eat, you don't need to re-apply at all because the color doesn't fade away.
I'm going to end this Review with the photo of the product on my lip. (I took it in the evening, after a whole day of shopping outside, so my face might be a little bit oily) The gold shimmer spreads quite equally and it is not as glossy and shiny like a lip gloss. I seriously dislike lip gloss with too much glitter/shimmer or whatsoever so this lipstick really works for me! I'll give a 10/10
