Mac Lovelorn || LOTD


I've been trying to get into lipsticks more as it is one of those products I hoard so Im trying my best to use them up. For my birthday my brother got me a MAC lipstick (with the help of his girlfriend ofc) and I was surprised that they picked a colour that I would use as an everyday lippie.


I do have a slight obsession with MAC lipsticks as the packaging wins me over, its famous slate grey and silver packing in the shape of a bullet  and its range of colours you can choose from. I now have 3 MAC lipsticks which Im hoping to extend someday soon.
Lovelorn is a lustre finish which is demi-sheer finish. I have a thing for applying my lipsticks on quite sheer, because I just love the natural look, Im also too much of a wuss to put on a lipstick at its full colour since I get paranoid when the lipstick starts to fade in the middle which always happens to me.


Swatched on the hands, you will automatically thing that this is a sheer baby pink lipstick but on the lips it is just one of those MLBB (my lips but better) lipsticks, but with a hint of pink.
I've been using this as my go-to lipstick, when im going out, work and sometimes school. 
I find that it starts to fade around the 3 hour mark but you cant notice it as it until you decide to reapply the lipstick and the colour comes back to life.
I find that if my lips arent exfoliated well, the colour will stick onto the dry patches but it wont be noticable compared to matte lipsticks. This lipstick sadly is a tad drying for me but a good lipbalm makes everything better.

Whats your go-to MLBB lippie?!

  1. Gorgeous! Probably not something I would pick up for myself as it looks too nude for me but it actually looks really nice!
    I'm also trying to wear lipstick daily to use up my borderline stupid collection that's collecting dust...

    1. I actually thought it would be too pink for me when I first saw the bullet but just fell in love in the end result!!
      The problems of being a lipstick hoarder, will be a long time until I finish up my collection haha xx

  2. That is sooo pretty. I have been considering picking up Lovelorn for a while but I don't really like sheer lipsticks much so I might give it a miss. It looks lovely on you though! x

    1. Thanks Candice!! There are definitely some cons to sheer lipsticks, as I do find it doesnt last as long compared with the norm xx
