There is something about MAC…I just can’t seem to walk away without buying something. I seem to swatch away and before I know it I am handing over money, its like some makeup spell is cast on me and I can’t resist. My mum doesn’t help the cause though agreeing that I NEED that new lipstick/eyeshadow/blusher I think she just likes me being poor.
I originally fell in love with ‘Strong Woman’ from the Strength Collection but as I went to pay, I was told it was sold out. I was gutted! By now I was in the mindset of buying a lipstick, so chose a different colour. I picked the colour that I thought was closest to Strong Woman, so in the end I settled for ‘Quite The Thing!‘ Although the finishes are different, I think the general colour is pretty similar, (although this isn’t going to stop me hunting down Strong woman!)
Quite the Thing! is a sheen supreme finish, which I think is a mix between a gloss and a lipstick. It sits like a lipstick but has the same shine as a gloss, although it doesn’t feel tacky on the lips. I don’t mind this finish, but I wouldn’t say its my first choice when it comes to choosing. The colour comes across as a light raspberry plum. If you look closely it has tiny blue glitter particles which give it that bluey/purple sheen.
I am so glad I chose this colour in the end, it is really pretty. I find that its definitely more of an wintery colour and whilst it is snowing here, now is the right time to be wearing it!
Are you a fan of sheen supreme finishes? ♥
Lovely!

Thankyou lovely!

I have just bought a couple of these lipsticks. I dont know why these are never spoken about on beauty blogs, as I think they're much nicer than the mainstream MAC shades/finishes xx

I agree, they have a lovely glossy look to them too which is really different to the usual MAC finishes!

Hi. I found your post as I tried my friends sheen supreme the other day and I was looking for reviews. I tried Candy Apple and loved it! The colour was gorgeous. Great review, definitely going to have to get it now 🙂 x

I love sheen supreme, they are slightly different to the other finishes as they have a slight glossy look. Candy apple looks like a lovely colour too!

Just ordered a few Mac lipsticks as a bday treat to myself, wish I'd seen this post first as I've never tried the sheen supreme line. I'm a little fearful with lipglosses in general so will have to add this to a future wishlist!
