It was day two of my spending ban when I received an email containing my MAC newsletter announcing that MAC By Request had gone live on their website. I sat there for an hour um-ing and ah-ing about what to do when my boyfriend said that I could have one. I will just get it out there that he doesn't control what I spend but he knew I was on a spending ban and was trying to be supportive but as soon as he said "go on then" I was a crazy woman unleashed.
In the basket Pink Poodle went along with another to top it up to free delivery. I have serious issues, I know. Pink Poodle was the shade that got the most votes in the By Request polls with a massive 391,741 votes but strangely the only one that hasn't sold out. It's described as a 'Vivid, bright fuchsia pink" and comes in a Glaze finish. On the website it's listed as a Frost finish which I'm not that familiar with but I loved the colour so when it arrived in a Glaze finish I was a bit confused. What's going on MAC?
I'm a big Matte fan, Why I didn't get Hoop or Glam I don't know.. maybe I wanted to be different. Do I regret it a little? Only slightly. Pink Poodle is a gorgeous deep pink with what I think is a slight iridescent purple tone to it. It glides on to the lip and leaves a gorgeous, vibrant colour. It's really buildable too. You need a few strokes to get a really striking lip colour but just one stroke leaves a subtle burst of colour to your lips.
I thought this was really similar to Girl About Town which I picked up in March. For someone that doesn't like pink I'm starting to get quite the collection. I had 3-4 hours wear time with Pink Poodle which I think was pretty good, I assumed a Glaze finish would wear away quite quickly. Since buying this I've worn it a few times and find it quite moisturising on my lips, it's definitely one for the Summer months so I need to get my tan on soon.
It's very pretty to look at and reminds me of a Christian Dior lipstick my mum use to wear when I was younger. I think I love it that bit more because of that reason.
Did you pick up Pink Poodle too? I'd love to know your thoughts on it.
This looks lovely, it does remind me of GAT from the bullet too. I didn't get any from the By Request releases I'm saving up for the Playland Collection though! X
ReplyDeleteOh I love the look of the Playland Collection too! xx
DeleteI always ask my boyfriend what he thinks before I spend money I probably shouldn't! If he says 'you may as well' then I always feel better about it haha. This is a gorgeous colour :)

Thanks for commenting :) xx
DeleteThat is such a beautiful colour, I'm sure it will look great on you! I am so scared of brighter lip colours, don't think I could pull them off like you do! I usually just stick to my comfort zone of nudey-pinks!
ReplyDeleteLoving your blog :) xx
