"I still remember my mother's vanity case, and how she would come back
from work and sit in front the mirror to get ready. To this day I think
of how that quiet, focused, trans-formative moment is so powerful for a
woman," says Parabal Gurung, who wanted to create a lipstick that people would keep even after it had run out, just for the packaging, and that is exactly what he did with his MAC Cosmetics collaboration!
This limited edition offering from MAC, now forever sold out shade is a stunning red
with a TON of pink under tones. The Prabal Gurung Carmine Rogue lipstick
is a satin finish and applies like a dream in one richly pigmented
swish, no pulling, no tugging, just amazing pigmentation! When it comes
to the packaging, it is something I would cherish even if I finish up
the tube ( I doubt, lol ), the only issue I have is the plastic-y inside
of the tube. For $30 a piece, the equivalent of a luxury, designer
lipstick, I expected that little part to be less plastic-y. The rest
though, is a vision! The rose gold and indentations, ahh make the $30
truly worth it!
When it comes to the lasting power,
let's just say, this one stays! It has brilliant staying power, on me it
lasted a three course meal and drinks so that definitely get's a bucket
load of thumbs up from my side! Even when it starts wearing off, it
doesn't disappear in patches, ew lol, it leaves behind a pretty stain
which I don't mind at all!
If this were available, I would definitely recommend you guys pick up a piece! Here's an image of me wearing this, excuse the flash photography, this image is completely unedited :)
Until next time, tc
