Coral Crush

I have mentioned before on my blog, that I was only into nude and pink shades, and really my experiments with color have only started after I started blogging :) .. and boy am I glad :)

Copper Coral, Crosswires, See Sheer from  Top to Bottom

Today I have a post on my coral crushes featuring

• Mac Lustre See Sheer : This is the simple, sweet and subtle shade of the lot . See Sheer is a lustre finish by MAC and hence sheer and glossy. This a peachy coral shade, perfect for everyday. A very easy shade to wear. 
  
• Mac Creemsheen Crosswires : This I like to call as a colorful, cheerful n confident shade. To me, this is a perfect coral for spring n summer. I have really enjoyed wearing this all summer. The best is that this can be worn for both daytime and nightime looks. Check out the detailed review here
  
• Estee Lauder Copper Coral - This is definitely, the big, bad and the bold shade  of the lot. This is without a doubt a perfect bold lipstick for a night out. This is the Estee Lauder Signature lipstick and is so moisturizing and long lasting. The formula is smooth and creamy and super shiny :) . Total love :)

Which are your current favorite coral lipsticks ? Have you tried any of the above lipsticks ?

MAC Crosswires Review

As compared to pinks and nudes, peaches/corals are new to my liking, but I am enjoying them esp with the summer here in Australia. I am reviewing MAC Crosswires on the request of my dear friend Samyukta from http://isimplylovemakeup.blogspot.com/

MAC Crosswires is a pretty coral shade from the MAC creamsheen line.

MAC Crosswires (Creamsheen)



I love the color and feel that when applied lightly it instantly brightens up my face. I feel this color can be used both for summers and winters. It works best for me when I apply it with a light hand (one coat) since it becomes a 'look at me lip' when I apply it heavily.

The Good

• Nicely pigmented : Crosswires is a pretty nicely pigmeneted color, even with a just a dab on the lips it brightens up the face and gives good color to your lips. It gives nice opaque coverage to lips
• The color works well both for day and night. You can wear this with a smokey eye for the night and and lightly with neutral eyes during the day. It works both as a pretty pop of color or as a bold lip
• It has a nice creamy texture to it
• Reasonable staying power

The Bad

• setlles into lines - yes it does settle into fine lines :(
• a bit drying
