I remember not long ago I was a total lip gloss girl, I could never even imagine using lipstick. It seemed like those old women things, and something I couldn't get along with. And then one day the lipstick fairy came and cast a spell on me, ever since then I've been a total lipstick girl and have been on the mission of building my collection. A recent addition to my collection was my first MAC lipstick in the shade angel. Which is also one of their best sellers, and is popularly known as one of Kim Kardashian's favorite lipstick. It was a gift to me by a very close friend, and yes I love it.
Whether MAC lipsticks are worth the hype and price is something I'll discuss at the end, so getting on to the review.. Angel is a frost lipstick, which means it has bits of very fine shimmer. It is a pale blue-toned pink, which I don't think has too strong cool undertones, but yes they are there. It comes in the standard MAC lipstick bullet sort of packaging. And has a faint vanilla sent, which is present in all their lipsticks.
Angel is an everyday sort of color, and goes great with a smokey eye as well as minimal makeup. It doesn't apply as smooth as a regular cream lipstick would, probably because of the shimmer present in it. It isn't matte but isn't too creamy, and the frost gives the color dimension and shine. The lipstick is quite long lasting, and lasts probably around 4-5 hours on me.
MAC lipsticks retail for $16, and are available at Macy's and MAC outlets. Whether MAC lipsticks are worth the price tag is very honestly a personal choice. I do however think that there are instances when you fall in love with a color and can't find an exact dupe, then definitely yes they are worth it. And I think MAC has beautiful colors which are hard to find, and I plan on trying out new ones!
