I have been obsessed with
Whirl by MAC since I was first told “I’m sorry, that one’s sold out”. There’s
something about shades that aren’t in stock that make them all the more
appealing, and you start to consider if £78 off eBay + £19.99 shipping from another
country is really all that expensive(!?). Nope? Just me?
Anyway, I was just on my
weekly ‘accidental’ visit to my local MAC store, when I happened to ask if they
had Whirl, and by some divine miracle, they did! I basically sprinted to the
checkouts to make sure it was mine (and then lived on beans on toast for the
rest of the week).
Whirl is beautiful matte
shade, which I initially thought was a lot nude-r than it actually is. If I had
to describe the shade, I’d say it’s a rich, warm, caramel-rose. It’s a perfect
match to the much loved, much coveted Whirl lip pencil. Made infamous by Kylie
Jenner, this shade has been sold out pretty much everywhere for the longest
time, but I can personally understand the hype. I’ve worn this lipstick every
day for the past week or so!
It’s comfortable on the
lips. For someone who has really terrible, dry, cracked lips all-year round,
I’m always wary of how matte lipsticks are going to treat me. Luckily, though,
MAC mattes always deliver. They apply creamily and softly (it can help to apply
a thin layer of lipbalm first!) and really do look perfectly matte. This
lipstick is also beyond awesome for overdrawing your lips (very Kylie Jenner!),
and once you’ve got the art mastered, you won’t have to splurge £500 in lip injections…yes
I checked.
This is another winner
from MAC, and I’ve added it to my ever growing MAC lipstick collection, AKA my
pride and joy. For me, £15.50 has become ‘the price’ for lipstick, and I don’t
consider it to be fiendishly expensive anymore. The shade is so flattering,
sits comfortably and stays for absolutely aaaages. I can’t really find anything
negative to say about my new love affair, which is absolutely always a good
sign!
Have you tried a lipstick from MAC’s matte lipstick
collection? What do you think of Whirl?
Lots of love,
