Mac Peach Blossom | First Impressions

Hello everyone, you may know that a while back I picked up my very first Mac lipstick in 'Creme Cup' and did a first impressions post on it. Well recently one of my best friends, Christine went to America and brought me back another Mac lipstick in the shade 'Peach Blossom', which is yet another gorgeous shade.

Like all other Mac lipsticks it retail's for £15, but because my friend picked it up from the US it was slightly cheaper! I recommend doing your research on what shade to get before you purchase a Mac lipstick as you don't want to be disappointed after spending so much money on one.

  

At first glance 'Peach Blossom' looks very similar to 'Creme Cup' in the sense that it is a neutral toned pink shade. However comparing the two 'Creme Cup' is more of a blue toned pink whereas 'Peach Blossom' is a darker peach shade. Like 'Creme Cup' it is a creme-sheen finish, so is not overly matte, shimmery or drying on your lips. The formulation is really smooth, and it glides onto your lips without sinking into fine lines. I'm guessing that creme-sheen is going to be my favourite formulation of Mac lipsticks, I just love the way it looks and feels on your lips. The pigmentation is more sheer than opaque, which I actually like as it really nicely tints your lips to a 'your lips but better' shade. With closer glance of the lipstick you can see a hint of blue iridescent shimmer which isn't noticeable once it is on your lips. The actual colour is very build-able and can be made into a full peach/pink shade. I think this shade is perfect for the Spring and Summer months as it is a subtle way to wear a peach lip that isn't overly obvious. Like all Mac lipsticks I can't write a post on them without mentioning how good they smell! they honestly smell like sweets and vanilla. I think that like 'Creme Cup', 'Peach Blossom' is such a universal shade that would suit pretty much any skin tone as it's a versatile nude shade. Like most lipsticks though the lasting power isn't great and I do have to re-apply it throughout the day, I am yet to find a long lasting lipstick (sigh).

Overall I would recommend you to pick up this shade if your a pinky nude lover like myself. If you want to read about my impression of the 'Creme Cup' lipstick then click here. I know I will soon be building up a collection of Mac lipsticks, which is not to great for my bank account, they are for sure turning into my guilty pleasure!
