Craving & Crosswires | M.A.C Cosmetics Lipsticks

Back-to-M.A.C is a recycling programme which I far too often forget about. For those who have not heard of this scheme, basically M.A.C Cosmetics ask you to return 6 empty products to any of there stores, in return for a free lipstick. You can pick any single one of the lipsticks, that are in the standard silver and black bullet. Limited edition and Viva Glam lippies do not count. 

Soho, London is probably one of my most favourite places, ever. Off I strolled into the pro store to exchange 12 empty products for some shiny new lip stuff. I have quite a few of the lipsticks already in my collection so it was going to be a tricky decision to pick another two. I would love to have them all, imagine having the entire lipstick stand just sat on your dressing table? HEAVEN. 

I really wanted Vegas Volt but sadly it was not meant to be so I walked away with Craving and Crosswires. Happy days.

Cremesheen is definitely one of my favourite textures to choose from, as the name suggests these lipsticks leave a really creamy, moisturising finish on the lips. I chose Crosswires, a colour I always used to wear whilst working for the company, a clean, pinky orange. This colour is so easy to wear and will be more of a daily/work lipstick.

Craving, described as a burst of plum, is a beautiful shade. An Amplified Creme, providing much more pigment but yet still hydrating on the lips. I think this shade really makes my eyes pop and adds more warmth to my fair skin. 

There are so many more shades I want to add to my collection, such as Shy Girl, Creme Cup, Please Me and Fan Fare.

Which shades do you own?
