MAC Pretty Shiny Things Lipstick // A Wink Of Pink, Babetown | Review

Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the MAC Pretty Shiny Things Lipstick in the shades A Wink Of Pink and Babetown.

These lipsticks from the MAC Pretty Shiny Things Collection are not the most original shades of the collection but, just like the gloss, they stole my heart. Actually, I’ve never in my life thought I would buy a shimmery lipstick but A Wink Of Pink was too pretty to pass.

The other shade is the perfect everyday nude and I’ve been wearing it a lot combined with the gloss I reviewed last week.

This collection has the prettiest mirrored packaging, it’s super eye-catching but very chic.

You can get them here for 19,50$ each.

BABETOWN (Cremesheen)

COLOUR

On the website, the shade is described as Dirty Beige Pink and it’s a Cremesheen.

PACKAGING

The packaging is the exact same as every MAC Lipstick but it’s all mirrored. The shade name is written on the bottom in the usual MAC style.

It comes in a really pretty silvery box with fuchsia details which I really like.

The scent is the classic vanilla one, one of my favourite.

FORMULA

As the name would suggest it’s very creamy and smooth, it’s not patchy and it doesn’t settle into fine lines.

It’s very comfortable to wear.

SWATCH

LASTING POWER

Since it is so creamy it is not the most long lasting lipstick but it’s quite easy to reapply even without a mirror. I’d say it lasted on me about 4 hours.

RATING:

• Colour: 10/10
• Longevity: 7/10
• Packaging: 10/10
• Pigmentation: 10/10
• Comfort: 8/10
• Scent: 10/10

GRADE: A-

I love this lipstick, I like the effect and the colour, it feels beautiful on the lips. I love the packaging and honestly, there is not much to say. It’s not the most original shade but I’ve been wearing it everyday so I recommend it if you are on the hunt for a new everyday shade.

A WINK OF PINK (Frost)

COLOUR

On the website, the shade is described as medium pink with gold-bronze pearls and it’s a Frost.

PACKAGING

The packaging is the exact same as every MAC Lipstick but it’s all mirrored. The shade name is written on the bottom in the usual MAC style.

It comes in a really pretty silvery box with fuchsia details which I really like.

The scent is the classic vanilla one, one of my favourite.

FORMULA

The formula of this lipstick really surprised me, it is quite smooth despite being metallic it’s not gritty, it’s not patchy and it doesn’t settle into fine lines.

It’s very comfortable to wear.

LASTING POWER

It lasts about 6 hours but when the colour rubs off you are left with some specks of glitter so it still looks pretty.

• Colour: 10/10
• Longevity: 8/10
• Packaging: 10/10
• Pigmentation: 10/10
• Comfort: 8/10
• Scent: 10/10

GRADE: A-

I love this lipstick, I like the effect and the colour, it feels beautiful on the lips. I love the packaging and honestly, there is not much to say. I’ve been wearing it a lot more than I thought I would because it still looks natural so I recommend it if you are on the hunt for a new fun holiday shade.
