Hello Lovelies!
So as I'm sure most of you know, I am a big fan of the nude lip. MAC Hue and Chanel Boy are permanent additions to my make up bag. But as always I am always looking for something new to fall in love with. I love MAC lipsticks but I find myself always drawn to the more exciting colours like Lady Danger or Rebel (love & love!) and tend not to bother with the nudes because they just get lost among the brighter colours!
But when I seen Pure Zen on Hannah's blog I knew I had to pick it up. I love a good peachy/coral lipstick and my current everyday colour in that category is MAC Shy Girl and it has definitely seen better days! So last week I headed straight to MAC and restricted myself to one lipstick and Pure Zen was the one. First of all it is a cremesheen formula which is my favourite formulation from MAC. They are really nicely pigmented and feel so lovely and mosturising on the lips. The colour lasts a decent amount of time before needing a top up!
I would say this is the baby sister of Shy Girl which I absolutely adore. It is alot lighter than Shy Girl but it is definitely in the same colour family. I don't know how this would suit paler skintones as I have only worn this so far while having a tan, so maybe test it out before buying because it might not suit everyone! I do love wearing this while I have a bit of fake tan on and a bronzed make-up look. I know this will be my go-to lipstick over the Summer!
Speaking of MAC lipsticks I am currently holding an International giveaway where you can win a MAC lipstick of your choice! So you can enter that here if you haven't already!
I'm not usually seduced by a nude lip colour but this is gorgeous! xx

This looks a bit pinker than Shy Girl, which is too peach for me and just doesn't go with my skintone. So many mac lippies I need to go and swatch! xx
ReplyDeleteI've been loving Shy Girl for the past few weeks now. I'm currently alternating between Shy Girl and Revlon Lacquer Balm in Vivacious for my everyday lip product of choice. I'm interested in Pure Zen. It really looks very familiar to Shy Girl, albeit just slightly pinker. I'll make sure to swatch it next time :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shade! Very similar to shade 102 in the Kate Moss collection :)
