Product Review: MAC Kinda Sexy Lipstick

Monday, August 06, 2018

     I'm slowly building my MAC lipstick arsenal. My first shade was Girl About Town which was a 'pasalubong' pa from my cousin years ago. During that time, I was so obsessed with MAC lipstick to the point that I want to hoard or buy all the shades once there's a new collection. I know it's crazy but a girl can never have too many lipsticks, right?!

     But then I realized that I only need to splurge on the shades that I really want and will suit my skin tone. After all, a lipstick, in general, has a shelf-life of two years after the first swipe and if I will hoard that much, some or all will just be sitting in my drawer waiting to be tossed. I already have a red, pink, and purple shade of MAC lipstick and this time I want a neutral one that I can use every day. Guess what, I've found the perfect neutral shade that I can sport with or without makeup- MAC Kinda Sexy!

     MAC Kinda Sexy is a neutral pinky-rose with a matte finish. It has a pretty and wearable color. No shine and no brown undertones once applied.

This is the MLBB shade for me. If you can see in this photo, the shade of my lips have improved

Sporting the lipstick with minimal makeup here

What I like:
  • The packaging is simple. I have a thing on black bullet lipstick/s so this one is a plus for me.
  • It has a pretty neutral shade that complements my skin tone. I like that the color does not wash me out in photos even if I only have minimal makeup (eyeliner and eyebrow).
  • MAC Kinda Sexy has a matte formula.
  • It is pigmented and goes opaque on my lips with one to two swipes.
  • It's easy to apply. No need to warm it up. Glides smoothly on my lips during application.
  • I like that the formula does not emphasize the lines on my lips.
  • No bleeding or smudging after application.
  • The scent- it is sweet like vanilla but not overpowering.
  • Lasts 6 hours on my lips.
  • Does not dry my lips.
  • This shade can be dubbed as my MLBB- My lips but better!
  • There are a batch and manufacturing date printed on it.

What I don't like:
  • The price is steep for budget-conscious individuals.

Will I repurchase: Yes, because I'm already halfway the tube.

Recommendation:
     I give this a 5/5 rating. This is the perfect nude shade with no brown undertones. I've been wearing this almost every day and since I'll finish a tube in less than a year, I can say it's expensive for a cheapskate like me. Even if the formulation does not dry my lips,  I still apply a lip balm underneath to keep my lips moisturized.

Do you have a nude lipstick from MAC? What's your favorite nude lipstick? 

Good Times!~
