Review: MAC No Faux Pas

Hi guys! How are you? 

So, I decided to do a review (my first!) on my latest purchase which is MAC lipstick - No Faux Pas. I've researched about this shade previously and it's said to be hot pink Matte, my favorite "finish." (MAC has different finishes - Amplified, Lustre, Sheen..). MAC No Faux Pas is included in the Heirloom Mix Edition but it is a repromote.

I bought it from Tupped Boutique. You can visit her IG site here. It's where she usually posts the products she's selling. I believe you have to follow her first. Now about Tupped Boutique.. This online store was recommended to me by a highschool friend who's also into MAC lippies like me. The truth is, I used to purchase authentic MAC lippies from ShopHK before however, I think she's no longer selling such products so I was on a hunt for a trusted seller who will be able to provide my kikay needs. And yes, lipstick is my most needed cosmetic. Take away everything, but NEVER a lipstick. Lol. To make it short, I was able to purchase fake ones. Imagine... MAC RETRO MATTES - Dangerous, Flat Out Fabulous and All Fired Up. The scent was awful. Hopefully, I can write a post on that one too. But for now, let's just stick to this.

The transaction with Tupped Boutique was smooth and quick. Upon opening the package, I saw this. 

Box properly sealed

The thing is, it's really hot here in PH, specially here in Metro Manila. So I would expect that the lipstick will be a bit moist which you will see later on. Anyway, here are some shots of the physical appearance of the packaging and tube.

The box itself is glittery!

Even the stickers have glitters on them!

Now, let's take a closer look at the tube! The nice thing about the limited edition ones is that they have their unique packaging. The tube is either cute or glam, depending on the line! This line, Heirloom Mix Edition, has this type of design. GLITTERS! It looks FAB!

That glittery tube

I love this glittery bullet shaped tube!

Now, let's move on to the lipstick, shall we? Like I said earlier, I would expect the lipstick to be a bit moist (but not melted, okay?). Lol.  I fell in love with the color. It is quite similar to Girl About Town but the latter has an Amplified finish and is more on the fuschia side. One thing I noticed about this is that after applying, it becomes more Matte as it stays longer on my lips. Though I don't think it's drying like other Mattes.

L- A bit moist but still bold looking. R-Look at that rich color!

Now let's see how rich is its color when applied...

I applied the lipstick just once. Though, next time I would love to try to apply it twice on my lips. Even if you apply it only once, the color is still so rich! Plus, this kind of shade is something that you could wear daily. It's not that striking. Just enough to make you feel pretty and confident! :)

Hope you enjoyed reading this girls. And I hope that you will like this shade as much as I do. It's really wonderful! :)

Just a collage I previously made, goes to show how happy I am that I purchased this product.

So there. Thank you gals! Be happy!

Oftentimes, God will use our experiences in life as stepping stones to prepare us for what He has in store next. Scripture tells us that He’ll even take the things the enemy tries to bring against us and turn them around and use them for our good. He is always leading us on a journey of preparation.

That’s why it’s so important to keep our eyes focused on Him. We have to trust that when we are submitted to Him—even if we don’t understand—He is ordering our steps. If something is not happening on your timetable, remind yourself, “God knows what He is doing. He has my best interest at heart. God is preparing me.” While you’re waiting, don’t make the mistake of trying to figure everything out. If you’re constantly trying to figure things out, that will only frustrate you. Turn it over to God. Declare, “God, my times are in Your hands. I’m not going to worry because I trust that You are leading me on a journey of preparation for all the wonderful blessings You have in store for me.”

He takes me home to North before going to work in South. He kisses me on my lips. He waves goodbye but then he gives me that look and he returns to kiss me again. He doesn’t move til I drive away. As I drive, I look at my rear view mirror and I see him standing there looking at me til I see him no more.
