Hi and a big hello to you all. Hope everyone is good :) Today my post is dedicated to the sweetest pink lipstick in my collection.
Yes its Mac! And she goes by the name of 'Speed Dial'
Speed Dial is a cremesheen formula which gives a creamy sort of milky coverage with a slight gloss to the finish... Not talking a lip gloss effect here, think more of a matte lippy with a slick of lip balm over it .
In my opinion (which is based on nothing scientific) Speed Dial is a cool toned pink, with a gorgeous golden shimmer running through it. The colour pay off is fabulous and is almost opaque on the lips. The gold isn't glitzy nor does it give a pearlised or frosted effect so it is super wearable through the day.
Mind because of the finish its staying power isn't that of a matte, so to keep that colour popping, prepare to reapply in maybe 3 or so hours. No lip brush needed :)

Next two pictures are almost definitely unnecessary facial close ups! So be kind and use a sort of squinting technique when looking :)
Photo above is 2 coats of Speed Dial with no blotting.
Photo below is after blotting (and lil sneak peek of nostrils too!)
As I'm a total fanny scatter brain I forgot to take Speed Dial out on my travels the day I debuted it... So here's me 6 hours post application... A very faint wash of colour left, rookie error!
So in a shell of a nut, Speed Dial is probably my 'go to' day time lipstick as I cannot seem to pull off nudes! Its light fresh, girly and ever so pretty.
Anyone else got it? What's your favourite day time shade? I need to expand my collection :)
Looking forward to reading and replying to your gorgeous comments
Love

I adore 'Please Me' by MAC- a similar shade but slightly lighter and with a matte finish :-) I did a review here: http://olivia-ellen-wears-words.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/mac-lipstick-in-please-me.html X
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure to check it out, I do love a matte finish xxx

Aaah you look gorge in anything Amy!xx
DeleteLove this shade! I'm not into nudes either I just don't think they suit me and look weird as I have quite pigmented lips! I always go for a berry tinted pink or more of a deeper pink but this looks like it's a really wearable colour without going too bright but being more summer appropriate that a berry! I'm loving MAC sweetie at the moment xx
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with a Mac lippy :) will check that colour out xxx
DeleteOooh it looks pretty. I need more MAC lippies in my life!

Aw thank you :) the #bbloggers chat is so good for swapping links xxx
DeleteI'm like Jessica above and massively cannot pull off nudes either - having really pigmented lips is a blessing and a curse haha! Fingers crossed I'd be able to pull this one off, it's such a gorgeous colour :)

The plus side of pigmented lips is that we can rock a slick of Vaseline or a clear gloss no problems!!!xxx
DeleteI've really got into pink lipsticks recently - this looks right up my street!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sending over your link in the #bbloggers chat

I always go for pinks over nudes as well cause it's a bit more flattering. The colour is so pretty! Gonna go have a swatch in store and test how good my will power is haha x

A very pretty. I haven't tried a Cremesheen finish yet. I like my lipstick opaque but Speed Dial looks quite pigmented.
