Mac MC Sur blush- Review, Swatches & pics

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone is having a great week??

As most of you must be knowing that I had bought Mac and Mickey contractor’s Gulabi & Mehr lipsticks but now here i have one more product added to my cosmetics from this collection

Mac Mickey Contractor Sur blush review-

I really like using blushes, but never happened to pick one from Mac except the beauty powder from VV collection. Even this time i just had two lippies but around two weeks ago one of my friend from Mumbai happened to visit me in Dehradun. she had come here for attending some marriage and I urged her to stay at my place for a day coz we happen to meet very rarely. It was she who owned this blush and when i saw it i was really enchanted by it’s beauty!! So it was then when i asked her to give this blush to me and I just paid her and ta daa…now it’s mine!!

She had bought the blush just one or two weeks before and hadn’t even used it once! She didn’t like the shade much but for me this shade is really fabulous!!

What i like about this blush-

Sur is a dirty plumy rose and it has a satiny sheen to it, giving my cheeks a lovely glowly finish

The texture is very smooth, pearly and is very pigmented. Just one swipe and i get my right shade

A good blush for everyday wear and a goes along very well with medium skintones. Even light ones like mine and darker ones will like it.

The quantity is good and won’t finish soon. As I don’t use dark blushes much so this is gonna last me for years!!

The blush lasts almost all day long on me, especially in winters. In summers it can stay for about 5-6 hours, maybe.

It is buildable.

Price- Rs 1150 but i got it in Rs 800

What i don’t like about this blush-

The shade is a bit dark for fair skintones.

The price is not decent….but that doesn’t matter much.

Rating- .5\5

So ladies…overall I would say that now I’m in love with Mac blushes sand now will surely get one or two more especially a golden one!! :-*

What do you think about this blush…have you tried it??

Mac And MC Mehr lipstick- Review and swatches

Hi pretty ladies

So today I’m going to write a review on my second lipstick Mehr from the Mac and Mickey Contractor range.

Mac and Mickey Contractor’s Mehr Lipstick-

This lipstick is liked everywhere. I think it has become even more popular than Gulabi, Mocha and Yash.

I have already written about the packaging so here I’ll only tell about the shade and quality.

Price- Rs 990

The shade-

MAC website says, it’s a blue pink that is ‘dirtier’ that their permanent, similar matte lighter blue pink lipsticks.’ Dirtier Pink’…hmmm… in my opinion it’s a dull pink with a brown base…hmmm brownish pink..ohhh It’s hard to explain the tone of this lipstick, leave it, you can see the shade in the swatches.

My friends told me that it’ll be best for medium skin tone but I think it’s perfect for all skin tones and I really really love it.

Why I love this lip color-

It’s the prettiest shade which I have till now.

I haven’t applied this on my lips till then but I’m really excited about it.

The texture of this lipstick is matte but after applying on my hand, I found it quite moisturizing. Maybe some girls need a lip balm on their lips before applying it but not for me as my lips are not often dry.

You can wear this shade with any colored dress.

It looks great- very subtle for day wear.

It gives your lips a natural finish and feels light and smooth.

No doubt, the lasting power will be about 6-7 hours.

Here are the swatches:

In bright light:

Why should you stay away from this lippie-?

If your lips are dry, you should avoid or use a good lip balm before applying it.

If you always wear traditional shades, stay away.

Of course the price.

Rating- 4.75/5

No doubt, it’s an amazing lip color.

So Finally I would say that both Mehr and Gulabi are amazing shades and it’s great that I have them!

Hey girls, have you tried this lipstick? What do you think?

Mac & Mickey Contractor Gulabi lipstick- Review

This was the range of Mac which was being waited by every Indian makeup lover. Mickey contractor range is a salaam to this great makeup artist who is definitely worth of this respect.
I was waiting for this range and had told my sister 15 days ago to pickup something from this range. Saturday late afternoon I received my things- Gulabi and Mehr and now I’m writing a short review about this lovely lipstick Gulabi.

The packaging of this lipstick is not new, it’s the same like Mac’s other lipsticks. It would be great if Mac would have given it some different packaging and color.
Anyways what have we to do with the packaging? For us, everything is inside the box.
Mac Gulabi Lipstick-
Gulabi name is taken from urdu language which means like the color of Gulab(rose) and this lipstick is really like a rose. I love the name of this range’s products like Gulabi, Mehr, syahi, Sur and gana etc. I think Mickey would have taken some name ideas from Javed Akhtar or Gulzar..haha.

Gulabi is a beautiful bright fuchsia in the Amplified formula. The pigmention of this lipstick is amazing.I’m sure it’ll give my lips a pretty smooth look. Sorry readers, I can’t give a look with this lovely lippie but I promise I’ll definitely do it after Muharram. I got your lot of mails and I feel sorry that I can’t ….okay now about the lipstick. Mickey Contractor is right- this kind of color goes amazing with Indian skintones and in my opinion it’ll be perfect any kind of skin tone. The shade is pretty universal and you will remember a fresh moist Gulabi Gulab after seeing it.

Price- Rs 990
The reason I’m loving it-

The texture of this lipstick is creamy.
It’s amazingly pigmented.
Only one swipe and you can get your right shade.
It’s a very very popular shade for Indian weddings and functions.
Perfect choice for an Indian bride. As you can see this color goes along very well with every green combination lenhga and bridal sari.
I’m sure I’ll not need any lip balm before applying it.
I love the quality of this lipstick and I’ll not complain about the price. The quality is worth this price.

The swatches-

Cons-
There are no cons in the quality. The shade is little bit dark but will be very popular in any wedding function. The shade is not only for fair complexion but for every skin tone. So there is not any reason to stay away.

Finally;as I said that it resembles the color of a rose…so a pic of a beautiful rose!!

Will I purchase it again?
Ohh yes I have Mehr but I want Mocha too!
So ladies what is your opinion about this range’s lipstick. Will love to know about your opinions
