MAC Lipstick Plumful (available here) - $15
Part of the 2013 Chinese New Year inspired MAC Year of the Snake Makeup Collection, Plumful is a lustre finish lipstick described as a "blooming rose-plum." The lipstick features a snake design embossing, and the packaging also has the snake-inspired design sleeve covering the usual black packaging. This is the special edition packaging for the Year of the The Snake collection, but Plumful is part of MAC's regular lineup and is easily available any time in the normal packaging/design - in case you are still a Gryffindor loyalist :P
MAC's idea of special-edition packaging is this colorful sleeve that goes over the usual black cover. Thankfully, the lipstick itself also features a snake embossing on it as an added feature, but considering these lipsticks cost the same as the plain versions, I guess I shouldn't grumble too much.
MAC Plumful is a beautiful pinkish plum shade that at least on my skin seems to have a hint of mauve to it. The finish is creamy, glossy, and slightly sheer. Here's how it swatches on my skin, and that is pretty much how it looks on my lips too.
I love the finish so much more than anything Rads..
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to have these creamy glossy sort of lipsticks, isn't it..especially for me with my perpetually dry lips :D
DeleteThe packaging is gorgeous.. The shade would wash me out though :(

Oh..plums make you look washed out? For me, it's milky pink nudes that give me the dead-person-walking look :(

ReplyDeleteThank you, Shalini! Hope you find it soon..stores in India are out of stock of a lot of the more popular shades, aren't they? I remember waiting for Feline Kohl to turn up in Bangalore, but none of the stores had it :(

Thank you, Poorva! It's Urban Decay eyeliner Perversion - my favorite black eyeliner in the whole universe :D
DeleteBeautiful!!! I'm confused which one I like more, this or Daddy's Little Girl.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to stop reading ur blog...I'm getting soooooo jealous that u have access to all these way before us. Btw, what do u do with all these tons of products???
Heheheee..is just for now that I have access, so I am indulging a bit. When I was in India, I must have gone to the MAC stores hardly once or twice in my life :D
DeleteAs of now nothing, Dollie. I keep telling I want to sell stuff, but I really never get around to doing anything :|
I love this lipstick and have been loyal to this since past 3 years. I just bought a new one from permanent line and then MAC came up with this collection. I just luv snake print and overall packaging of this lippie. But I can't buy a new one just for the packaging right..i was about to give up and buy it anyway and you helped me from doing that..I am a true gryffindor loyal ;) and I can tell that to myself whenever I feel the need to buy it :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks fab on you!:)
Haaa..I knew there would be someone that would appeal to :D :D If you already have the regular-line lipstick, I think you can easily skip this. Sure, it's snake-print and all, but it really isn't worth buying 2 of the same thing. I didn't have either of these colors, so it was an easy decision for me!
DeleteJust discovered your blog. Your photos and swatches are very helpful. And it helps that you're beautiful! Will be following. Leizel xo
ReplyDeleteAww..thank you! That is really generous of you to say so!! :)
