Mac Hot Chocolate (satin) and Apres Chic (cremesheen) Lipsticks, $15 each
I took a gamble picking up these two shades from the Apres Chic release recently. I wasn’t sure I’d like either but I love them both! I was so upset about the lipstick shades in the collection because they were pretty but sold out way too fast. Apres Chic came out early this month. I am hoping that they are making more but I’ve heard nothing about that being the case. I hawked the Mac website for Pink Pigeon from the Strong Woman collection and that’s come back twice. I picked it up thanks to a really nice girl on Instagram. Maybe they can make more of these two shades…come on Mac do us all a solid:)
I live for Hot Chocolate. It’s described as a dirty plum. It’s dirty alright! Dirty in a very good way. Apres Chic has a nice cremesheen formula and it is described on the Mac website as a pinky brick red. I feel its like a red that has an almost coral tone to it. Is that even possible? Well thats why I love both these lipsticks. They aren’t my usual suspects color wise.
If these come back-pick em up! They are more than I expected and fill two slots in my collection I didn’t know I had a place for.
I did a video on my picks from both collections. Check it out if you haven’t already!

These look awesome on you! I also purchased both of these lippies, but Apres Chic looks nothing like this on me, I’m not sure if I like it yet! I do love Hot Chocolate though!

It looks so orangish on me. I like it but I wasn’t expecting it!

I picked up 3 of the Hot Chocolates. What can I say, when I find a nude/neutral shade that works with my skin tone, I’m a hoarder. Did the same thing with the Kate Moss lipstick in #08. Does anyone else do this too? Why does MAC make us crazy with their limited edition shades?

It’s crazy that they sell out on the first day like they often do!

They look great on you! The hot chocolate looks beautiful on you tho I don’t think it will work on my fair skin!

Thanks! It’s so hard for me to decide to go for shades like this. It’s kinda scary but sometimes it pays off:)
