MAC Please Me Review

via

Any MAC lipstick lover? Raise your hand. I confess - I am obsessed with collecting MAC lipsticks. I've collected quite a few and most are red shades. However, I picked up a new one that is slightly different than what I'm used to but I loved as equally: Please Me.

Please Me is a warm pink shade with a matte finish. This has got to be my favorite pink shade yet! I'm still looking for a blue-based pink lip color but for now, this one will do. On the tube, the pink might appear darker and brighter. But when you apply it to your lips, it is actually much lighter. The upside to this shade is that while it may be light, it is quite attention-seeking and gives a fresh vibe to your face. This is my go-to for when I want a simple but polished makeup look. 

Please Me is a winner when it comes to beauty effect and ease of application. Remember, it is matte though. Make sure you keep your lips slightly hydrated before application to keep your lips from becoming dry (especially if you have naturally dry lips prone to chapping).

Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Viva

If you are on a beauty budget, I recommend Ever Bilena for their good quality, safe but reasonably priced items. I have blogged about this brand in the past (you can read it here and here). Their range of matte lipstick, in particular, is a favorite because they are long lasting and not as drying on the lips as most other matte lipsticks I've tried. (sorry about the photo because this is an old stock and just decided to do a review now)

The Viva matte lipstick is a light pink shade that provides a soft and sweet finish to your lips. I don't like wearing lip balm underneath my lipstick so a couple of swatches tend to look light. The good news is that it is a perfect shade for everyday look, or work wear. It provides just the right amount of blush without being too overpowering.

Check out some of my looks featuring this lipstick for a swatch:
