I was looking at my MAC lipstick collection a week or so ago, and I realised that I was lacking a few brighter shades. Now I love a bold lip, to be honest, I don’t really like anything but! However, there wasn’t that many bright summery shades in there so naturally, I had to rectify this ASAP! Now a huge thank you to Mummy Rose Beauty Files, for buying me these two beauties – these were her little treat for me winning my award. As a side note, I did a MAC lipstick collection a couple of months ago and despite saying that it wouldn’t get any bigger for a while, it has. However, i’ll leave the link to the post here in case you want to have a little look. I will have to do an updated one towards the end of the year!
Lets start with Morange. This is a shade I have heard so much about over the years and I’ve always wanted to try. It is just so beautiful and I always find orange shades suit my skin tone well. This is an amplified formula which means it is heavily pigmented without being drying or cakey. I find it very easy to apply and very comfortable on the lips. The shade is about as true orange as you can get. The only other shade I have similar in my collection is So Chaud but I feel that they are still very different. I have included a swatch of each side-by-side below so you can see the comparison. So Chaud is definitely darker and more muted whereas Morange is very bright and vibrant. Surprisingly, I don’t feel like I need a lipliner with this at all and it is just perfect for summer with a gold tones on the eye and lots of bronzer! Having said all that, it still looks amazing with my pale skin now (if I do say so myself!) so it is a good all rounder. I feel like this would look beautiful with really dark skin tones too as the orange will be a real pop!
The other bright addition was Girl About Town. Now this is a very vibrant pink shade that I feel has some blue undertones to it. I am not a pink lipstick wearer really, however, this has really converted me! I love this shade so much! It is also an amplified which means it has a slight sheen to it which I love as I wear a lot of matte shades so this is a nice change. The one thing I noticed about this, is that it fades really evenly! After having this on for the entire day, I was left with a lovely stain to my lips which made it quite an effortless shade to wear for the whole day. This was my mums favourite of the two and I would love to see what this looks like on her as I feel like this is a bright that would suit ladies of all ages and again all skin tones. Whereas Morange may be a bit too ‘out there’ for some people, I feel like almost everyone would love this shade either for a night out or with a pair of sunglasses and dewy skin in the summer months.

I am so so glad I added these two to my collection. They really are different to anything else I have and the amplified formula is one I have loved for ages. Have any of you tried either of these lipsticks? What are your go-to bright shades for the summer? Let me know as there is always room for more. *slaps wrist*
Much Love

Morange looks so pretty! I have been thinking about getting it for ages now! Since it is very bright, I didn’t do it but I am reconsidering it now 🙂

Morange is literally the exact shade I’ve been looking for! It’s hard to tell by the swatches on Macs website, so many colours look different! Will Defo get now, thank you!
