MAC HEROINE LIPSTICK

He says my kiss feels like morphine, I hope my name tastes like sardines to these b*tches....I am wearing Mac Heroine!!

I'm not sure what I should write in this post.
I mean, once you post a picture - actually 4 in this case - of Mac Heroine lipstick, what can you possibly say to accompany them.

But maybe it would be a little rude if I just posted the pictures without saying anything at all? :-/

Haha so ok, let me start by saying that when I first saw this lipstick, I didn't like it.
I tried it on anyway because I still wanted to like it and buy it just for conversational and networking purposes, so that on Instagram I would be able to engage in conversations about such a hot topic and wouldn't feel left out.
I still didn't really like it.

Then yesterday I went to Mac with my best friend to ransack for hoarding purposes to view in person for reviewing purposes their new Alluring Aquatic collection.

I tried on Heroine again to show my friend why I didn't like it.
And I don't know, maybe it was some different lighting, maybe I was more (self-)tanned than the previous time... this time I was like WOW!!!
My friend loved it at first sight and said straight away I should get it :-)

And then my lovely Mac girl told me she had something else I might like, and pulled out of a drawer Heroine LIPGLASS, from last year's limited edition!!

I immediately applied it on top of the lipstick and oh, how BEAUTIFUL!!!
My friend screamed "It's so shiny, your lips look like plastic!!" :-D

The rest, girls, is history ^_^

Mac Heroine lipgloss, Mac Heroine lipstick, Mac Violetta, Mac Flat Out Fabulous

Heroine lipstick is a very bright red-toned purple - its red tone was actually the reason why I didn't really like it at first, because I found it was too red of a purple - and has a matte finish.
Compared to other matte lipsticks by Mac, it is creamier while being equally pigmented.
In fact, when you take it off it will leave a strong fuchsia stain.

Heroine Lipglass is pinker than the lipstick and has very subtle purple microglitters.

Compared to Heroine, Mac Violetta is a little more sheer and light, and has a blue perlescence to it (more in-depth review here Mac Violetta).
Mac Flat Out Fabulous is significantly more pink and has a drier texture (more in-depth review here Mac Flat Out Fabulous).

Girls did you get Heroine??
I would love to see what looks you created with it, please tag me @mjintheskywithglitter on Instagram, or tweet me @mj_sky_glitter!!! <3

Below is my unfiltered Heroine look :-)

Thank you for reading my post and sharing my excitement!!
Here is my post with what I picked up from the new Mac Alluring Aquatic collection !!

Have a beautiful day :-*

Love,
