I am still swooning over my Mac pro lip palette in editorial
oranges. Other than the fact that I am a hardcore Mac fan who suddenly finds
her wish coming true and gets six lipsticks in a single palette (sigh…), this
palette also reminds me of my orange tabby cat. Yes I am a total cat person and
have a beautiful tabby named Genie who is well probably one of the most spoilt
and pampered cats in the entire world. See the swirl of orange fur on that
oversized cat. Does it not remind you of So Chaud and Lady Danger and the
beautiful pink nose is just the perfect Mac Crosswires….okay..okay I am just
rambling. I know it’s the heady feeling that comes over me every time I see that
palette.
Well, to get down to business. This Mac palette available
only in Mac pro stores contains five beautiful orange and bronze shades all of
which are thankfully there in the permanent line as well. The total weight is
around 6g so you get around 1g of product which is ok for a lipstick lover like
me who has literally a hundred different lippes in her kitty. I will be
reviewing each shade separately as they are well all different and special.
So Chaud: An
intense reddish orange
Sandy B: A light
pink frost lipstick
Look at Her: A
sheen supreme metallic copper lipstick ( my first sheen supreme lippi)
Morange: An
extremely loud orange shade (There is no red or hint of any other color in this
one..its totally orange “love”)
Crosswires: A
coral pink shade
Bronze Shimmer:
Its bronzy and shimmery (totally Indian weddings kind)
My favorite shade that resembles my cat’s nose (not meant as
an offense my cat is like my baby) is Mac Crosswires which is quite a popular
Mac shade. It’s a gorgeous pinkish orange shade which looks more pink on my
lips which are dark and pigmented. Mac describes this shade as a clean pinky
orange and that’s what it is (Whoever names these Mac lippies is just so
intelligent) It looks “neonish” on fairer girls but on me it is more subdued
and pretty. In fact this is a shade that suits everyone whether you are dark or
fair.
Crosswires is a Creemsheen finish which are quite nice not overtly drying
and stay on for a nice three to four hours. They are pigmented and provide nice
opaque coverage. Its like the perfect summer lipstick. In the swatches it
lookes pinky but it does have hint of orange which my camera is unable to
capture.
The lipstick is available in Mac stores in India for INR
990. It’s a great buy and if you are looking for the perfect coral lipstick
then do give this a try.
