In terms of buying makeup, I have to say that without a shadow of a doubt, lipsticks and liners are above all my favourite products to shop for - I just love them!
Sensual nudes and pretty pinks make me weak at the knees and over the years, I've spent countless hours swatching lippies right up my arms in the MAC store, trying to find my next go-to shade.
What I love so much about MAC lipsticks is that no matter how many you have, there's always another one out there that you haven't tried that's absolutely amazing. I physically can't go into MAC and walk out without a new lipstick - it's like an addiction.
Right now, I'd say that I'm definitely loving my pinks - and I guess that's why I have so many different shades of pink my collection!
From baby pinks, to hot pinks, from matte to frost, I like my pinks in all different tones and textures, but I do have my favourites.
Three favourites to be exact - and I'm going to share all of them with you, together with my favourite liners to team them with.
Okay, so without further ado, let's introduce the first of this fabulous trio...
Politely Pink
Firstly, I'll start by making a little confession - this is by far my favourite MAC lipstick right now, so if you've read tons about this on here before or seen it on my Insta countless times, this is why. This gorgeous dusky pink shade has a gorgeous gloss-style finish to it, and falls into the 'LUSTRE' collection from MAC. Being so neutral yet sexy, this colour can be vamped up using the gorgeous pink 'In Control' liner, or sensualised using the browny-pink shade of 'Whirl'. Personally, I prefer to wear this lippie with Whirl as I do prefer a more natural look, however, on a night out, it looks equally gorgeous when glammed up with the gorgeous pink.
Midimauve
Okay, so I'm going to class this as a pink, but this shade also has some nude-y, brown tones to it as well. Anyway, this colour forms the second third to my trio. Why? Because it's absolutely beautiful. Highly pigmented but with a gorgeous sheeny finish, this stunning colour is both versatile and long-wearing. I like to wear this colour with my trusty In Control liner and a slick of clear gloss for a really glamourous, sexy look.
Creme Cup
And last, but certainly not least, we have the cutesy Creme Cup from the Cremesheen collection. This glossy, baby pink is so pretty and girly - the ideal colour for this Easter weekend. I've been a huge fan of this lipstick for such a long time, and no matter how many other colours I buy, I always go back to it. To finish the look off perfectly, I line my lips heavily with either Boldly Bare or Soar. Boldly Bare tones the pink down a little, whilst Soar makes it pop. Either way, this colour is a must-have for any MAC worshipper.
What are your favourite MAC lipsticks? Do you have one colour that you buy in every shade? Comment below - I'd love to know.
Lots of love,

Midimauve sounds like such a me shade but I've never actually heard of it before! Will have to swatch it next time I'm in store. X
