MAC Show Orchid Lipstick

I've always wanted to pick up MAC Show Orchid lipstick, but I thought it was too similar to MAC Girl About Town. I went to the MAC PRO store to swatch it next to GAT, and saw that there was a distinct difference between the two. Show Orchid is more blue toned and brighter, whereas Girl About Town is more yellow toned and darker. I heard that Show Orchid is a much coveted shade, often out of stock, and is only available in the Pro store and on-line in the UK, so I immediately purchased it! When I got back home, I compared it to a few hot pink lipsticks I had. xx


Show Orchid is an amplified finish, that means its creamy and opaque, like Girl About Town. But as I've mentioned above, Show Orchid is brighter and more blue-toned that Girl About Town. I thought Show Orchid was pretty similar to Strayin' lipstick, just a bit darker and it lacks the shimmers that the frost Strayin' lipstick has. I haven't compared it to Rocking Chick lipstick from the limited edition Barbie collection, but I feel it will be similar, but just not as frosty. And because Show Orchid has a creamy finish, it's best to use a lip liner for this to prevent it from bleeding out of your lip line, so I'll probably use my MAC Magenta lip liner with this. I can't wait to rock this lipstick out! ♥

Do you wear hot pink lipsticks?? ♥

Cummulative MAC Haul

Here are MAC products that I got in the last 2 weeks. I've been on a red craze lately and lemmed for MAC Kanga-Rouge lipstick from the limited edition Dame Edna collection last year. I found it for cheap from eBay: £8.50 (including shipping!), so I immediately grabbed it. I've been feeling low early this week too, if you've read one of my previous posts.. so I decided to treat myself with some retail therapy and went to the MAC counter a few days ago, and I walked away with the gorgeous Under Your Spell mineralized eyeshadow. The third product I got is MAC's lipglass in So This Season. This lipglass isn't available in the UK, but I won it in one of Temptalia's giveaways about 2 and a half months ago! There were problems with delivery, and I only got it today. Better late than never though. :) So keep reading for swatches and comparison swatches! ♥
