I was such a lucky ducky on my birthday, not only did I recieve MAC ‘feel my pulse’ lipstick from the Mr. I also got MAC ‘saint germain’ lipstick and nail varnish too. I am actually so proud of him as he chose this himself. I try to avoid makeup shopping when he’s with me as I feel rushed and that is something that you definitely shouldn’t feel during these crucial shopping trips. Obviously he pretends not to be interested but is actually taking it all in, he actually knew where to go which was a start! 🙂
This lipstick is extremely pigmented and full on barbie pink. It is so creamy and becomes opaque in only a few swipes. This is the first amplified lipstick I have tried and the formula is amazing, you really can’t fault the colour pay off. Unfortunately I really struggled to get this colour to suit my complexion, I know I am going to sound really ungrateful for saying this, but i’m really not! You know when a colour is just not you, I really wanted to love it as its the first bit of makeup Lew chose for me himself, but it’s just so not my colour. Personally I think it would be much more suited to paler skin tones, with quite bold eye makeup. The colour is also a favourite of Lady GaGa, gotta love a bit of Gargs!
This nail varnish shade on the other hand is perfectly me. Again its a lovely barbie pink and very creamy looking, the colour really reminds me of candy floss. My only niggle with this is the application, it took 3 coats and still looked really streaky, in the end I gave up and put a top coat on which actually ended up evening the colour out..so strange?! Anyone else find this? The colour is so cute, it’s so worth it though. ♥
You can find Saint Germain nail varnish and lipstick on the MAC website here.
Just found your blog through the london lipgloss and I love it! Now following you <3!
This is such a great review, I've always wanted to try saint germain lippy but been wary as to if it would suit me or not, but I'm pale and love my mascara so perhaps there is hope! XO

thankyou so much sweet!
its definitely worth a try if you like bold colours 🙂
Awwww how sweet of your boy to buy you MAC makeup without you. I know what you mean about the colour, it's very much a 'wow' lipstick shade. The polish is gorgeous 😀 xxx
