  • Saint Germain (Amplified) (cool tone pale pastel pink) Although I love the color, it was too white based for me and washed me out a bit. It is creamy and a little streaky. Pigmentation is opaque. Possible dupes: BH Cosmetics "Boom", Covergirl "Enchantress", Maybelline "Pink Pop", Lime Crime "Great Pink Planet" Wet N Wild "Dollhouse Pink" (deeper).


  • Chatterbox (Amplified) (warm bright pink) This is a warm based pink which I felt more comfortable wearing than Saint Germain. It was more natural and warmed up my complexion. Possible dupes: Milani "Fruit Punch", NYX "Fig".


  • Pink Nouveau (Satin) (cool medium pink) A neutral/deeper pink. This lipstick is one of my most worn lipstick. Possible dupes: NYX "Summer Breeze", Wet N Wild "Dollhouse Pink".


  • Candy Yum Yum (Matte) (deep neon pink) The most neon hot pink in this collection I have. It's also my absolute favorite hot pink by MAC. It's bold, beautiful and stands out. Be prepared for compliments! Possible dupes: Maybelline "Fushsia Flash" & "Fushsia Fever", Milani "Rose Hip".


  • Show Orchid (Amplified) (violet fushsia) Violet pink with slight shimmer & sheen with blue undertones. An easy to wear color I reach for often. The tube is almost finished which shows how much I love this. This will look amazing on many skin tones. Possible dupes: NYX "Blue Rose", Wet N Wild "Fushsia with Blue Pearl", MAC "Pink Poodle".


  • Style Curve L.E. (CreamSheen) (bright violet fushsia) This lipstick took several layers to build up the color and it's still not opaque. It's gives a hint of purple and lacks pigment. Although it looks like a deep purple color in the tube, it's not. It's an easy to wear lipstick because of it's sheerness. Please note this is a limited edition item, MAC may or may not bring it back. Recommended only if you want a tinted lip stain. Possible dupes: Maybelline "905 Brazen Berry".


  • Impassioned (Amplified) (bright coral pink) A bright coral pink with red undertones. Has great pigmentation, glides on nicely and is build-able. A must have for Summer/Spring and will suit many skin tones. Possible dupes: MAC "Relentlessly Red" in a retro matte finish & "Party Parrot". Maybelline "Shocking Coral".


  • Relentlessly Red (Retro Matte) (Neon red coral pink) This looks similar to impassioned in a retro matte finish. This is a little dryer and has pigmented opaque finish. It's reddish coral and looks beautiful in any season. This would suit many skin tones. Possible dupes: Clinique "Long Last Soft Matte Peony", Sportsgirl "Watermelon". This one is also a shade or 2 brighter than MAC's All Fired Up.







My stained arms!


My thoughts: I like all of these colors except for Style Curve, it went on super sheer no matter how many swipes I did. These colors are incredibly staining, but the lightest color Saint Germain was surprisingly the most staining.

Thanks for reading, Have a amazing day!
