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?? ♥
Hey Livia, I received the Sleek palette today. Thank you so much! Can't wait to try it! =D

I was surprised when I found Show Orchid at my regular freestanding MAC store about two months ago and I immediately purchased it and I love it!!! It's my first permanent Pro lipstick along with Violetta since I own mostly LE lipsticks.
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice color. Can't wait for you to rock it out either!
ReplyDeleteWhat a very beautiful shade!!! :) Thank you soo much for your great swatches!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't dare wearing lipstick, I just put on some gloss generally :/
ReplyDelete@Mara- You're welcome! I can't wait to see you rock it!
ReplyDelete@Resham- I checked out Up The Amp too because of you, and you're right, it is gorgeous!! xx
ReplyDelete@Violet Honeybee- I'm sure a lip liner would help get the lipsticks in the lipline, but for the glitter, I'm not sure though, it doesn't bother me haha x
ReplyDelete@rayqueenbee- You're right! They're both really pretty :) Check them out at the store!x
