My MAC lipsticks! Swatches and comparisons

I've been meaning to do a post about these for a while now. I was given 3 MAC lipsticks for Christmas from my lovely friends and I love each of them! I received Vegas Volt, Angel and Ruby Woo, all of which are colours that were on my wish list. FYI this is going to be a long, picture filled post :)

Summer lips

This summer I have really been digging bright lips. After my Coral Polish post, it'll be no surprise that my love for coral has eased it's way into my lipstick collection. Here are a few of the lippies that I've been wearing a lot on my lips lately. I've already posted about most of these so I wont to into too much detail.



Australis Colour Inject mineral lipstick - Honky Tonk. This is the sheerest out of these lipsticks. It was the first corally coloured lippy I got. It's a really wearable light pink coral and can be made more opaque with a heavier application. For such a cheap lipstick it has a surprisingly good wear time (contrary to what my first post on it said, I need to remember to use products more before blogging about them, haha) and will easily last through a 3 hour shift at work (yes, I do those...) and still look great.  See more here.

Sportsgirl Pout about It lipstick - Catwalk Queen - This is an almost fluro pink colour. It's so bright and out there, and is super fun to wear. See review here.

MAC - Vegas Volt. This was my first MAC lippy, and I love love love this colour. It's the perfect orangey colour when you don't want to look too outrageous. It's an amplified finish. See more here.

Innoxa - Watermelon. This is my most recent lippy and the colour is pretty much exactly what the name suggests - a bright pink watermelon colour. This is part of Innoxas summer mattes range, so it is literally made for summer.

Covergirl - Fairytale. I love covergirl lippies because they're super long lasting. This one is matte, bright pink with a hint of coral. I was lucky enough to receive this in a blog swap, and it doesn't look like it's currently available in Australia.

Not shown - Revlon lip butter in Peach Parfait. I wanted to add this because I love it as a subtle peachy colour, but I seem to have misplaced it. Hopefully I can find it soon!

Sportsgirl Pout About It review


I rarely venture into Sportsgirl. Most of their clothes are a little out of my budget. It's usually only around Christmas when I'm gift shopping, to look at their jewellery and gift table. I've never thought twice about their makeup either. However, a few weeks ago I was given the Pout About It lipstick in Bombshell by a girl at work, and I love it! I ended up buying Catwalk Queen as a present - but decided to keep it instead because I loved the colour too much.

Catwalk Queen and Bombshell.

These are both matte lipsticks. Catwalk Queen is such a lovely vibrant pinky watermelon colour. These photos don't do it justice. It's the perfect out there colour for warm weather. Bombshell is a perfect shade of red.
They're both extremely pigmented, have great staying power and aren't drying at all (and I have quite dry lips). I wore bombshell over Revlon's kissable balmstain in Romantic when I went out to dinner a few weeks ago and you could tell it was still there when I got home. They don't really have a scent, other than a slight lipsticky smell which is not noticeable unless you're really trying to smell it.

I would definitely recommend trying these lipsticks, and I would love to buy Fruit Tingle (a matte coral) also. I would also consider looking at the other products in the sportsgirl beauty range, and have my eyes on the Get Cheeky cheek and eye shimmer.
