This week I'm loving coral / orange lipsticks again, and what better bright coral than MAC Vegas Volt.
Vegas Volt is an Amplified Creme formula, which is my 2nd favourite MAC formula after cremesheens. It's wonderfully pigmented, super bright, and creamy enough not to dry out the lips. I got it free when I did a Back2MAC not too long ago (i.e. took back six empty MAC cases to get a free lippy).
I love my bright lippies, and this is one bright lippy not for the faint hearted. If you've never worn bright colours before then this is probably not a good one to start with. I'd go with something a bit tamer, maybe MAC Everhip (which I've bought online recently and waiting for it to get here). But if you're a regular bright lippy wearer and want something with a bit of oomph, this is perfect.
And here's a quick pic of how it looks... it's a great colour for a statement lip, especially if you keep the rest of the face fairly neutral.
Have you tried this lipstick? What do you think of the colour?

This is such a pretty coral! I was so close to getting it but decided to get Shy girl instead as I don't have many nude lippies.. But I think i might just head back and grab this one coz it's just too pretty!

Amazing colour!! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI don't think there's a lippie in existence that doesn't look gorgeous on you. lol
ReplyDeleteWow I love this colour, another one for the wishlist lol :-) x
ReplyDeleteWow, you look so gorgeous! This colour looks amazing on you :D
ReplyDelete@Delyteful Speaks - I have shy girl too but it's actually not doing much for me, I find it makes my face look bland... i might need to use a darker lipliner with it or something.
ReplyDelete@Angie - I can totally see you rock this colour babe, make sure you wear it more often.
@Crosswire Dreamers - thanks hun
@Clare - It's funny how you forget about what you have until you see it on someone's blog. And yes, you should totally wear this more often.
@Sandra - thanks babe, and where have you been? no posts from you in ages. I'm guessing work is crazy busy for you right now.
@Princess Anna - thanks so much :)
@Angela - oh there are plenty lippies out there that don't look good on me, I'm just lucky I figured out which ones don't suit me so I can avoid them! LOL
@Catherine - it's a gorgeous colour, perfect for the summer I reckon.
@:) - thanks so much hun, I'm really loving this colour as well.

You should wear peach/orange lippies more! It looks soooo gorgeous on you Lilit!
ReplyDeleteThis looks gorgeous on you! Very summery :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a really nice color on you. I wish I was more crazy about corals because I like the way they look on me, but I'm more of a pink girl.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments everyone, I'm glad you like this lipstick! :)
ReplyDelete@Vita - I was getting sick of the all-black look so decided needed a bit of a change. I'm glad it's working out.
@paintedinblack - I think this would look gorgeous on super pale skin, as long as you aren't scared of colour. I believe Costa Chic is a bit lighter than Vegas Volt, so you could always try that in store and see what looks better on you.

I saw Vegas Volt in store and I thought it looked gorgeous. Really suits you.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the guidelines for Back2Mac? What do you need to bring back? How many do you need to bring back? etc.
@petit derriere - you need to take in 6 empty mac containers and you can choose a free standard lippy, i.e. No limited editions. They also accept depotted eyeshadow cases, e.g without the metal pans. I think at pro stores you can also choose a free eyeshadow instead of lipstick. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color! I have not tried this one... yet;)
ReplyDeleteand I should say your FOTD Cleopatra look is astonishing! What a transformation!

This is a truly beautiful shade. On me it seems as if it'd be a MLBB shade, which isn't a bad thing. I may just pick this up despite the price. It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBought it ;D
ReplyDeleteThis looks great on you! A perfect shade for summer- I'm adding this to my wishlist for sure :)
