Hi all !
Today i'd be reviewing my least favorite product from MAC that i purchased last year. Not that i don't love this shade, but it doesn't show up on my pigmented lips. Boooohh :( But anyways lets move on to the review ..
Price : INR 900-1000
Quantity : 3gms
Shelf Life : 3yrs (i guess)
The lipstick comes packed inside a black carboard packing, and inside is the lipstick bullet. The Amplified Lipsticks normally glide on easily and give a glossy finish, with a creamy feel, whereas your lips don't feel laden with gloss. This shade can be best described as a nude pink, with slight brown undertones, that makes it a MLBB shade for a few (especially fair girls).
Ingredients :-
The lipstick has MAC's trademark vanilla fragrance, and it glides on easily on lips. It usually doesn't aggravates my fine lines, but it might exaggerate fine lines of those who have super dry lips. The staying power is good, 3-4 hrs on its own without any meal.
This is a cult favorite shade among most of the girls, and likewise i bought it without even trying it 
, and i'm nc 43.5 in mac, and it washes me out, also it doesn't covers up super pigmented lips. This lipstick looks good on me only in photographs, but in actual i can't wear it out because it just isn't that good for me

What i like about it :-
- Super hydrating formula, that glides on easily.
- Semi matte, and slight glossy sheen to it.
- Doesn't settle's into fine lines.
- Gives buildable coverage.
- MAC vanilla fragrance
- Staying power
- Atleast looks good on me in photographs
What i don't like about it :-
- Price
- Washes me out in person
This was a wrong choice for me ofcourse, but i do agree that its such a pretty pink shade that i still try to wear it anyhow. I would suggest you if you're above nc 42 then do try it first in store, because what looks good on others might not suit you at all. And of course MAC has so many variety with hell of color variations, that you can find a suitable lipstick for you.
Have you tried Cosmo ??
Godbless !!
