Lip Lust - M.A.C Lovelorn
Friday, 1 June 2012, Friday, June 01, 2012 |

So ! For my very first post on this blog of mine, hopefully the first of many :) I have a lipstick that I have been absolutely loving lately, and wearing it daily, M.A.C's Lovelorn. I bought this around 6 or 7 months ago for $36 at Myer, not exactly cheap. I was actually searching for a pink that would match a dress I bought for my birthday, I wanted Milan Mode first and then Lickable, but they sold out of both, so the salesman recommended Lovelorn instead. 

It's a lustre finish, meaning its the sheerest of the main M.A.C lipstick finishes, but very glossy. I wouldn't call Lovelorn one of the most sheer and I actually find it fairly opaque, especially for my lips which naturally have a pigmented colour. The website describes it as an "emotive blue pink" (not so sure about the emotive part, but it's fairly true!), I actually find it really difficult to find a nice pink lipstick since the majority of them make my teeth look very yellow ! (i.e. Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake!). I hadn't really touched Lovelorn in a while and it just sat in my collection because I assumed I just didn't have a pink that suited me, but I noticed it the other day before school and it's my absolute favourite right now. 

(above) A swatch on bare lips, you can see it's quite glossy, and it's actually very moisturising and long-lasting too!

All in all I really do recommend this lipstick for people who have a neutral to yellow skin tone like mine, are looking for a colour that isn't too bright but still stands out in a flattering way, and are looking for a first M.A.C lipstick that they'll get plenty of wear out of! My only issue is the price, if only it was more reasonable :(
