So this is what I did this afternoon. Below are my 6 empties, which consisted of a completely smashed highlighting powder (due to my butter fingers!), a nearly used-up eyeshadow I haven't touched in years, three old lip glosses that had gone a bit funky, and a pressed powder that had fallen into the dank crevices behind my toiled (butter fingers strike again!). I brought them to the MAC store in the Eaton Centre, and like magic *Poof*...

... they were transformed into this brand-new lipstick, at no cost to me. Ta-Da!

The colour I chose was Impassioned, a bright, cheery vibrant pink shade with a slight peachy undertone (regular price $17.50 CAD). It's an Amplified Creme formula, which means that it's highly pigmented with a creamy satin (but not shimmery) finish. I fell in love with the shade at first swipe!

Here are a couple pictures of what Impassioned looks like on my lips:

So, there it is. I received a brand new lipstick for exactly $0, got to remove my clutter-causing empties, and made an earth-conscious choice by recycling, rather than tossing them. I really think Impassioned is the perfect vibrant summer lipstick. And to prove it, here's a picture of me wearing it while enjoying a sunny afternoon in the park:
Yay for Summer!! :) |
Very pretty! And yes, I'm very happy about the summer weather! Too much rain, not enough sunshine.
ReplyDeleteAbout a month ago I decided to get into the orange trend, and I treated myself to a MAC cremesheen lipstick in "Ravishing." It's a nice, wearable mix of tangerine and coral. I like it, but you need to wear gloss on top.
I now know to keep my old MAC products on hand. I think I've thrown out two lip glasses over the last few years!
Enjoy the TO weather and I hope to see you again soon!
