These are a few of my pink lipsticks from MAC. I've been thinking about swatching my entire collection for a long time and decided I can't do it all in one go. It has to be spaced out a few at a time or I'll never get around to doing it! These are all part of the permanent collection. Bombshell, Sweetie, and Syrup are new tubes.
Angel (permanent collection) is a frost finish and described by MAC as a soft pink. It's a semi-sheer beautiful pale rosy pink shade. It's neutral toned and works well with either warm or cool undertones.
Politely Pink (permanent collection) is a lustre finish and is described by MAC as a dirty pink. Politely Pink is a cool-toned, soft pale pink.
Bombshell (permanent collection)
is also a frost finish and described by MAC as a bright rosy pink with shimmer. It has a bit of gold to it, which isn't very noticeable. I was down to the nub on Bombshell, so this pretty new one is a replacement! I want to say that Bombshell was part of the original collection, but I'm not positive about that. Sometimes old shades are cut from the collection and new ones are added, but I think this was was an original...
Sweetie (permanent collection) is another lustre finish and is described by MAC as ultra-sweet pink. Sweetie is one of my all-time personal favorite lipsticks. It's a medium pink that's semi-sheer with plenty of shine! This one is also a replacement for one I used down to the nub! Sweetie may have been one of my first purchases from MAC.
Syrup (permanent collection) is also a lustre finish and is described by MAC as a cloudy pink. It's another medium pink cool-toned, blue-leaning pink.
Are you familiar with MAC's lipstick labels? They each have the finish and color listed and then there's also a number on each tube. That number tells you when each lipstick was manufactured. For example, if you look at Syrup, you can see it says AA1. The first letter is the batch number. The second number/letter refers to the month. September is month number 9, so October is month A because it can't be two digits long. Then the last number is the year, 1, which is 2011. Most makeup brands should have a label like this. I'm always disappointed when they don't.

bombshell and syrup are just darling, must have for my collection! xxx also cheers for label info ( i have learnt something new today!)
ReplyDeleteBombshell is my fav too!
ReplyDeleteI'm nearly positive Bombshell was my first MAC lipstick, and possibly my first non-drugstore brand lipstick, too! Thanks for sharing some of your collection, these are all lovely colors. And thank you for explaining the numbers on the bottom of the label, I always just assumed that had to do with the shade! Very helpful.
ReplyDeleteNice shades! I like Politely Pink the most.
ReplyDeletesweetie is a favourite of mine as well, because i find it's the sort of colour that can go anywhere.
ReplyDelete:O Yay swatches! I like the look of Angel. I know everyone and their dog seems to have it but I've yet to pick it up.
