MAC Playland Lipstick Review- Toying Around, Sweet Experience

Hey guys! I've had a good time to test out these shades and let you all know how they wear / feel on the lips, so I wanted to share. Here we go!

I'll talk about Sweet Experience first, as it is the shade I was most excited for. This entire collection was in the traditional MAC packaging. MAC describes this shade as simply a "bright pink" with an Amplified Creme finish. This is a warm toned light pink shade that looks slightly pastel on the lips. This shade is quite similar to the For Your Amusement Casual Color.

This is a really lovely looking shade but your lips definitely need to be in top shape to pull this off! It is quite unforgiving, and settled into my lip lines in less than a few minutes. It wore for around 3 hours on me, and came off almost entirely after a meal. It was neither drying nor hydrating, but like I said it is quite unforgiving so prep the lips well. Not my favorite shade, but if you don't mind lipsticks that are a bit high-maintenance then its still a great shade for summer! 

The other shade I picked up was Toying Around. MAC describes this shade to be a "Hot Coral Pink" with an Amplified Creme finish. This is a very vibrant coral-red shade, not so much pink in my opinion.

My camera makes this look much more orange than it actually is is!

I think that because this is a darker shade than Sweet Experience, is doesn't highlight the flaws in the lips as terribly. I'd still prep before wear, as it will still catch on any drier areas, and eventually settle in the lips a bit, but not as intensely as Sweet Experience. This wore about three and a half hours, and left a light stain behind. Again, this was neither drying nor hydrating. I didn't experience any bleeding with this shade, and if a lipstick is going to bleed on anyone, its me. I think this is a really fun shade for summer! 

Thats all for now guys! 

MAC Mineralize Expansion!

Hey guys! MAC just recently expanded their Mineralize collection, with a few new MSF's and way more shades added to the original MSF Natural line! I've also seen some new packaging floating around, the MSF Natural's are now in a compact more like MAC's other compact foundations, with a mirror. The MSF's are also in a redisgned compact, where the lid is see through and bubbled out. I'd post some images but my laptop isn't really working properly at the moment, my right click doesn't work and thats the only way I know how to save images to my computer. Anyways, onto the shades!

They're also promoting two duofiber brushes with this collection. I think its cool these products got a makeover, and that more foundations are getting the NW10 shade!

MAC Sized to Go!

Woo! This collection launched either today or yesterday, and I'm glad MAC finally did something like this. They've released quite a list of travel-sized products, all priced at 10$ US, and I imagine closer to 12$ CAN. I'm not sure of the likelihood of all these products hitting counters and stores, but it would be nice! I actually recently purchased a mini Fix+ to keep in my purse at a MAC store. Here's the list of stuff you can get:

That's all! I think this is a great way to test out products before taking the plunge, especially with skincare because sometimes a sample isn't really enough to get the feel for a product, especially depending on how generous your counter is with samples! Let me know if you see any of these products start to pop up in your stores!
