After a few recommendations from my lovely readers, the closest colour match seemed to be MAC Sheen Supreme lipstick in Asian Flower as suggested by Sophie (and concurred by Emma). Well ladies, I give you MAC Asian Flower.

| Wearing MAC Sheen Supreme Asian Flower lipstick |
It's such a pretty shade, and it has the classic MAC vanilla scent as well which I love. It's my first lipstick from the Sheen Supreme range and I'm quite happy with it. It's not as long lasting as the Amplifieds or Cremesheens, but it's beautifully glossy and hydrating.
So how close is it in in colour to the lipstick I was desperately looking to replace? Here they are side by side and swatched. Classics #227 is slightly more pink, but it's close enough in colour to keep me satisfied!
What do you think of this colour?
Have you tried anything from the Sheen Supreme range?
i haven't tried this color and it seems so lovely... beautiful on yu :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Gowthami :)
DeleteI haven't tried anything -yet- from the sheen supreme range: this shade looks absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first sheen supreme, it feels very lovely on. Almost like a balm but way more pigmented! xo
DeleteLurve this colour & have it myself!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous isn't it? Can't believe it took me so long to actually get this!
DeleteSo pleased you found a replacement. I had been wondering if you had any luck.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour and you're so lucky that it suits you so well.

Looks beautiful on you, but would be too purple for me with my red hair. Haven't personally tried any MAC lipsticks, but I hear such good things about them I may just have to pick up one or two.

This is beautiful, and so similar! I love purple lippy on you. I've not yet tried anything from this range either. I've been looking for a purple lippy though, something in between the Inglot one and Up The Amp. Yet to find it! Xx
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see you found something that is close enough for you. Try maybe using a pink lip liner underneath to add more of a pink tone if you want it to be more like 227. But I love mixing everything I have (polish, mascara, hair care) so I don't mind some extra steps.
ReplyDeleteI love this colour on you! Im usually too scared to try out purple lipsticks but recently found it very wearable!

It looks gorgeous on you! That sort of shade really makes you look stunning (not that others don't) :)

My gosh!! This is stunning!!! Love it on you xx
ReplyDeleteGosh this is a beautiful colour Lilit! I actually prefer this "new" shade to the colour you were looking to replace.
ReplyDeleteIf you aren't already aware, Australis has actually released a purply shade in their Pout Pastes (Berry Nice Kiss) which you might like if wanting to expand your purply collection - Make Up Store have some purpleish ones too!
Confession - I have never tried a MAC lipstick before! I am hanging out till I go to the US to save a lil cashola.
Hope you are having a great long weekend! :D
