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!
