All My Pinks: Pale Pink Lipsticks (1/3)

This is the first of three posts regarding my pink lipstick collection! First picture shows all the lipsticks I'll be reviewing. Three parts: Pale Pink Lipsticks, Toned Down Pink Lipsticks and lastly, Bright Pinks.

L-R: NYX Sparkling Red Lipstick, NYX Tea Rose, NYX Paris, NYX Fig, NYX Spellbound, Revlon ColorBurst in Carnation, MAC Viva Glam Gaga, MAC Chatterbox, Revlon Pink in the Afternoon, Revlon Twinkled Pink, TFS PK101 Moisture, TFS PP401 Semi-Matte

I'll be reviewing three lipsticks for the Pale Pinks. These are MAC Viva Glam Gaga, TFS PP401 Semi-matte and Revlon Twinkled Pink.

First off, the famous MAC Viva Glam Gaga (VGG). This is my go to lipstick when I want a toned down look but not too bare! I could practically wear this from day to night and doesn't dry my lips. It doesn't last that long on my lips, though. I like it because it's creamy and glides smoothly. No problem with this one. I definitely love it and I hope this won't go out of stock.

Second one is the Revlon Twinkled Pink. Yes, I know, it has a bit of frost but totally gorgeous in person. Just don't over apply it and it'll be amazing. This lasts longer on my lips and though it's a bit frosty, you need to apply 2-3 times to get a color because this is sheer. Pretty color but sometimes too loud.

Lastly, the TFS PP401 Semi-matte lipstick. I think they were kidding when they said it's semi-matte because this is as matte as you can get! As you can see in the picture, no shine, no frost, nothing. Just pure color which I totally love! It's a bit paler in pictures but amazing in person. This is a keeper. I just hate the scent. :|

So, which one to choose? I definitely recommend the TFS semi-matte lipstick and the MAC VGG. Those two are my go to lipsticks for all occasions that need pale lips! You can't go wrong with these two! Just be careful with the TFS lipstick because they're a bit drying but the color is amazing. For the VGG lipstick, the problem with that is it's not readily available here in the Philippines.

MAC: Viva Glam Gaga and Chatterbox Lipsticks

Yes, you saw it right. VIVA GLAM GAGA. I love it. I've been eyeing for it a few months ago. Note that I've never wanted lipsticks until maybe 2 months ago. The blogsphere opened up my eyes to make-up, really. Maybe 5 years back, you would always see me in make up. Even when I'm going to the grocery, I would be fully made up, no doubt. After a few years, I got tired of it, unfortunately. Then, when I started blogging again and following other style and beauty bloggers, I got hooked. Especially on lipsticks.

Here's it is in the flesh:
I really like its consistency. Very pigmented and color really pops. You may choose to swipe once or a couple of times depending on how light or poppy you want it. I'm just disappointed with how much lipstick is in the tube. I want more! Hehe!

Next is Chatterbox. I got this color because of Temptalia's review. I just had to have this. It's more wearable than Viva Glam Gaga. It can stand alone but not too bright but still an attention-grabber. Simply one of my favorite lipsticks.
Now I know why people rave about MAC lipsticks and how they just can't get enough of them. Will definitely buy some more colors or ask my friend from LA to buy some more for me since it's cheaper there (approx $14 and in the Philippines around $20).

Viva Glam Gaga will be available in the Philippines on August 2010.
