My 5 Favourite MAC Lipsticks

We all love MAC lipstick, right? That's just, like, the rule of blogging! I have my fair share (19 isn't too many is it? Is it?) but there are a few that I reach for time and time again. These, ladies and gentlemen, are my Golden Five*.

In true Top of the Pops style, I'm going to countdown to my number one. Spoiler alert: I like pink.

5 PINK PLAID

As you will shortly discover, I have a thing for matte lipsticks. Matte lips are my thang. Pink Plaid matches the natural colour of my lips almost exactly- a deep, blue-based pink. When I want a subtle but polished look, this is the shade I go for.

4 CANDY YUM YUM

You know those days when you feel on top of the world and you want to shout it out to the world? Candy Yum Yum is made for those days! It's the brightest, boldest, most fun pink ever. This lipstick is a staple for bright summer days.

3 VIVA GLAM NICKI I

As you would expect, Viva Glam Nicki is pretty much pink perfection- a little flirty, a little attention seeking but still subtle enough to wear as part of a casual day look. Generally speaking, this is the lipstick I reach for when I attend blog events, or any other events where I want a little confidence boost.

2 PLEASE ME

Please Me is the most perfect everyday peach-rose shade. So perfect, in fact, that I wore it on my wedding day. True facts right there.

1 BOMBSHELL

Oh, Bombshell! Lovely, wonderful, underappreciated Bombshell. Confession time: I always wear this lipstick when I see my doctor. It's my please-fancy-me lipstick. If I were a fan of clichés, I'd say it was a your-lips-but-better nude with a hint of frost, which is surprising given my matte leanings.

I'm not going to pretend this was easy. I felt like Louis Walsh looking down on my lipsticks and telling them that they're all great but just didn't quite make the cut (only without anyone losing out to Wagner). In fact, at time of writing, I've only got 4 lipsticks in my top 5 because I just can't decide which to have fifth. Hopefully by the time this post is published, I'll have made my mind up!

*Totally just made that name up. I like it. It can stay.
