MAC Pink Pearl Pop lipstick

This was one of the lippies that I hauled recently (see haul post HERE). Pink Pearl Pop is part of the Cremesheen + Pearl collection which is a recent addition to the MAC permanent lipstick line. Even though I have a tonne of pink lipsticks, this particular one caught my eye as despite being so vibrant it looks very subtle when on the lips. It's one of those lipsticks that you can apply without a mirror and know that you're not going to look like a clown.

It's a medium toned sheer lipstick that has slight pearly shimmers. I would say this is the toned down version of MAC Viva Glam Nicki lipstick. Here they are side by side. If you want to see how VG Nicki looks on the lips click HERE for my old post.

And here is a lip swatch of Pink Pearl Pop. As you can see even though it's quite sheer there is still plenty of colour pay off. I wouldn't say this is a must have lipstick, but it's a pretty medium pink especially suited to those just starting to get into colour.

What do you think of this lipstick? Boring or pretty?
