Mac Lipstick - Stone and Whirl | £15.50 | Link |
Recently Mac added 12 new lipstick shades to their permanent collection. The colours are all Matte or Retro-Matte finishes and I had to pick up Stone and Whirl. The Whirl lip liner is constantly sold out due to the popularity Kyle Jenner brought to the colour, so when I saw that Mac were releasing it as a lipstick, I knew it had to be mine.
Stone - Muted greyish taupe brown
Whirl - Dirty Rose
I ordered both lipsticks online, I'm an avid Mac shopper so kind of knew what to expect as I own both of these shades in lip liner form but when I opened Stone, I was worried. It looks dark brown. How was my fair, Casper skin going to pull that off? Then I swatched it and I'm pretty sure I heard angels sing in the distance. It's going to be perfect for Autumn/Winter, especially with a grunge make up look. It does pull a lot more 'greige' once applied and I really like it.
I like Whirl, it's nothing special and it's certainly not a dusty rose, it's more of a nude brown with slight pink undertones on my skin tone. I'll definitely wear it because it is a lovely colour, I just have a lot of other similar lip colours in my collection.
What can be said about these lipsticks is for a matte lipstick, they're not overly drying and I found them both comfortable to wear...I do wear liquid lipstick quite a lot though, so a matte lip doesn't bother me. They have pretty good longevity, and Stone especially is a unique colour. They're both bringing back the 90s and I'm a fan.
Would you wear Stone and/or Whirl?
Stone looks like an amazing colour!! Thats definitely next on the list to buy

It's such a gorgeous colour, so 90s x
DeleteSo glad you put this post up as I’m craving Whirl! I have the lip liner but really want to get the lipstick also, but I’m glad you said about having similar lip shades in the collection as I’m hoarding Velvet Teddy, Brave, Mehr and Twig haha.
