This month saw the release of yet another Mac collection, Sheen Supreme Lipstick, although for a change these are actually permanent, so no need to rush out to buy them all. I did pick up 5 of them though, so I thought I'd show them to you.
Out of 14 shades I picked up the following 5: Insanely It, Ultra Darling, New Temptation, Quite The Thing! and Full Speed.Sheen Supreme lipsticks have the same signature vanilla scent as other Mac lipsticks and come in black tubes, but unlike the regular bullet shape Mac lipsticks, these are cylinder shaped and made of shiny plastick, rather than the usual matte material. They are also slightly bigger at 3.6 g (regular Mac lipsticks are just 3 g), but are the same price at £13.50.
The lipsticks have a very nice sheen to them, they feel moisturising, however, they feel quite slippery on the lips and as a reuslt, they are not terribly long lasting. Without eating and drinking, they lasted for about 3 hours, but once I ate or drank something, they quickly disappeared. If you don't mind reapplying quite frequently, this shouldn't be a problem. They do apply nice and even and feel really nice on the lips, they are very creamy, and not at all drying. There's a good range of colours to choose from, some nudes, some corals, pinks, reds, browns, and a lovely lovely purple too. You will see below that I swatched them quite lightly, but they are buildable and true to colour. They are well worth checking out next time you're near a Mac counter.

Finally, a couple of pictures of me wearing Ultra Darling Sheen Supreme lipstick:
Not related to your blog post, but I noticed you also bought something from the blog sale at toomuchblush - have you heard back/received anything yet?
ReplyDeleteHi Sophia, No I haven't, I even e-mailed her on Friday, but haven't had a reply. I'll try again today if I don't receive my lipstick. Let me know if you receive yours. x
ReplyDeleteI've emailed her twice and no reponse - I suppose it's only been a week though. If she doesn't reply in a week then I'll send her a final email and then see if I can get my paypal money back... but it doesn't look like she's a dishonest person. I hope nothing bad has happened to her.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know it's only been a week, but I would expect an e-mail at the very least, especially if you've e-mailed her twice already! I'm sure she's not dishonest, but her manner leaves a lot to desire really. I always keep people informed, whether it's a giveaway, swap or sale and expect the same from others.
ReplyDeleteI got my order today - I hope you got yours too!
ReplyDeleteYes I did! Thanks for asking! I did think it was rather odd that she didn't even bother to reply. Not how I would treat people. Oh well.
ReplyDeletei love these lipsticks, i bought my first one last week and i love it x
