Mac Mineralize Rich Lipstick – Posh Tone

Product purchased by IMBB

Hello lovelies….

Nude/neutral lipsticks have been my weakness since a very long time. And when it comes from big brands with goodness of minerals it is really difficult to resist. I picked up the shade Posh Tone and I must say I had to save the best for the last to review.

Price: Rs 1650/- for 4.04gm

Product Details (from the website):

A 77-Mineral Moist Complex that instantly nourishes lips with maximum moisture in a lightweight, non-sticky formula. Larger bullet applies bright, long lasting color in a single stroke. Medium shine finish, buildable coverage. Magnetic closure.

Packaging:

The mineralize range is packed differently than regular Mac lipsticks. It is like a healthier brother of a Mac lipstick with matte cap and glossy base. The magnetic closure is something that is smart and intelligent considering it is a bit bulky. The outer paper carton has all the required information regarding dates, price and ingredients. I have not seen color coded packaging in Mac so not bringing in that factor.

Texture:

The texture is creamy but not so much that it tends to melt. There is a glossy feel to the lips on application. the shine can be compared to the sheen supreme range but the feel on lips is lighter. It kind of melts on touching the lips. I would better call this a gel lipstick. It is moisturizing but not so much that one can skip lip balm with dry lips.

Pigmentation:

I would rate this shade 2/5 in this field as this is on the sheer side. The color can be built up but pigmented lips would be advised to either use a lip erase or a nude lip liner to cover pigmentation. But this is a great option for the office goers as the shade is formal, polished and moisturizing at the same time.

Shade:

People around NC40-42 would find this as their perfect nude as it has the right amount of pink with peach. For me the shade is so soothing that it feels like a part of my face. It is natural, glossy and nude which give the innocent look to the face (which I am not!) It will not wash out owing to the right balance of peach and pink in the shade.

Staying power:

Again not too impressive as it is creamy. On its own it stays for about 4 hours. With tea/snacks it would come down to 3hours. With lip liner the shade stayed for more than 6 hours which is great as the texture is light and creamy. If you are looking for a long lasting lipstick then it is not for you but the texture is so awesome that you will definitely not mind reapplying it.
