My Lips in a Tube - MAC Twig!



You probably know the drill by now, I don't post often enough, i apologize and promise to be more regular - when I do post, I get all sad because there aren't any comments and sigh like a loser. But I'll stop. Because really, I write this blog for me and to share my love of makeup with other people.

Today's post isn't all that new or original, but it's a new find I'm in love with. I've been into the whole nude lip trend offlate - I'm all about 'em sultry bronzey eyes and nude lips (pretty much my staple makeup).. so imagine my surprise when I realized I only had one nudeish colour. Off to MAC I went, hoping to pick up Mehr, which seemed like the kind of pinkey nude I would like... but along the way, I met MAC's Twig... and it was love at first swatch.
MAC describes it as a "soft muted brownish-pink" which is pretty spot on in my opinion. It is literally the colour of my lips. So when I wear this, they look all even and pretty. Being a Satin Finish, it's comfortable to wear, but I like to put on my lipstick, blot it, put it on again, blot it and repeat a few times to it really settles and forms a nice little stain. It lasts about 3 hours on me and an extra 3 as a stain.

FYI, It costs INR 1495 (Yes, my wallet cries)

What do you think?

  1. Hi! I read your blog! De-lurking to comment and say I love your posts and look to them for inspiration. :)

    I haven't tried MAC lipsticks, but from what I've seen, Revlon matte balm in Sultry and Maybelline Creamy Matte lipstick in Touch of Spice are supposed to be dupes for Twig. They are matte formulas, but they're pretty comfortable, so I don't know how it compares to the MAC satin formula. But the color is definitely spot on!

    1. Hii! I'm so glad! And yess, I'm getting Touch of Spice soon, so hopefully I can compare.
      Sultry, which I have is far more plummy? Where is this is more brown-pink.
      But yesss.. Maybe I'll do a comparison post :D
