That and more in The Lipstick League, week of 8.22.16
Question of the Week: What are your current favorite limited edition products?
Answer: I’ll admit, I’m not a Trekie. But there are two products in the MAC Star Trek collection that you need, Trekie or not. No seriously, YOU NEED THESE.
Where No Man Has Gone Before lipstick is a warm pink loaded with gold pearl in a lustre finish. It gives you a slick of warm, golden color that’s effortless and looks good with everything. That kind of “oh who, me and my gorgeous lips?” look. I bought a back-up tube. Yes, that good.
Skin of Evil nail lacquer is mesmerizing; a sea of fine yellowish-green glitter and chunky black glitter suspended in a clear grey base. It’s like Halloween is a bottle. Aliens, Wicked Witch of the West, Orion…you’re covered for all. I’m impressed with the amount of glitter this packs in just one swipe (as seen in the swatch).
Do your future self a favor: pick up both now before you can’t and your future self is very sad. (Oh, how sci-fi of me!)
