Mac x Giambattista Valli Lipstick Collection Review

Hey guys,

Mac Cosmetics and Couture fashion designer, Giambattista Valli, have teamed together to create a fabulous collection of lipsticks, they are in limited supply and there release has been long-awaited. Valli's inspiration for the collection was flowers, and he also wanted to create hues that fit any kind of personality, which i think he has achieved.

The collection consists of five timeless matte shades. Each with chromatic bright lipstick exteriors to match each shade. The floral packaging of the lipsticks is something very different and creates an air of elegance and sophistication.

The collection also includes an opalescent lipgloss. Which can transform the matte shades into a high-gloss finish. I really like this element, it makes the colours even more versatile and wearable for any occasion, and who doesn't like to mix it up!

Collection overview:

                         

               

 Lipstick in Bianca, £17 - Nude pink (white undertone)











Lipstick in Margherita, £17 -Peach (Yellow undertone)

Lipstick in Charlotte, £17 - Red (Yellow undertone)










   Lipstick in Eugenie, £17 - Dark Cherry (blue undertone)
   (In my opinion, more of a coco-cola shade)
                                                    









   Crystal Glaze Gloss, £19 - Clear pearlescent finish

Out of the collection, my personal favourites are Tats (because I'm a sucker for pink) and this is the perfect hot pink shade, especially for hot summer nights.

My second favourite is Margherita. I have been looking for a peachy summer shade, and Margherita is fantastic!  The lipsticks are all easy to work with, and the only shade i would definitely recommend a lip liner with is Bianca, B, i have used Mac lip liner in boldly bare.

 And of course, we cannot forget Charlotte, it is a timeless red, and in my opinion extremely versatile, and suitable for cool toned and warm toned complexions. These shades Easily teamed with a natural everyday makeup look for someone who wants a pop of colour! And i can imagine these teamed with a gorgeous smokey eye makeup look.

Overall i am very much obsessed with this collection. The best part being every shades can be rocked all year round. 

Mac continually provide high end unique products, and this collection is definitely one of my most favourite! I think the packaging is so chic and stylish and the shades are a true match. 

 *tip * Because the shades are matte i would recommend exfoliating and moisturising your lips a little while before applying your chosen shade, to achieve the best finish and to ensure its long-lasting! 

I hope you enjoyed this review.

Bye for now,
