Crosswires





Heavily swatched and slightly out of focus, sorry!


Today I received my blog sale buy MAC Crosswires in the post (thank you Sabina) and it promptly went on my lips. If you didn't already know, coral is my favourite colour and this may be my new favourite one? It's a bit similar to Vegas Volt which I also love but this has more pink in it. The cremesheen formula means it's much more wearable than Vegas Volt which is amplified and shows every bit of dry lip. It's also a subtle wash of colour that can be built up to your preference which I really like as sometimes I don't like wearing a strong lip colour but still want a hint of something.



Can't really say anything about how long it lasts as I've only worn it for these photos but I don't think it's very long. That said I wouldn't mind reapplying this, I really love the cremesheen formula.

I've bought a lot of new lipsticks over the past few months so expect more posts like this soon xx

      It looks so beautiful on you Tass! I have Vegas Volt and I'm a bit scared of it, tbh. Plus I agree it's so drying. This looks much prettier and more wearable. I might just have to invest! x

      Yes get it Naz! I think Vegas Volt is a summer only colour, it's very orange and in your face xx

      Me too! I don't stick to the "season rule", I wear hot pink and coral all year round, it cheers me up when it's dark and miserable outside

    That is such a gorgeous colour on you! Love the pinkyness against your skin - it is such a great combination! I find buying lipstick so hard as I don't want to try the testers on my lips (eww!) but I can never really get a good idea of what they will look like without doing so! That's why I love seeing bloggers trying them out!

    I'm definitely loving coral right now too! Gorgeous colour, it's good that you can build up the intensity as I completely know what you mean about not wanting to wear a fully pigmented lipstick at times.
