MAC Spring Colour Forecast Lipstick swatches

February 26th, 2010

The lipsticks from the MAC Spring Colour Forecast collection are all really pretty!  I bought Bubblegum, Laugh A Lot and Beigeland.  Then had to go back for Phlox and Radicchio :)

Here is Bubblegum on my lips.  It’s not a very good picture but I thought I’d share it anyway so you can see how gorgeous it is on.  This is my favorite lippie in the collection:)

Here’s how Bubblegum looks compared to some of my other pinks.  I don’t have anything close to it in my own collection and I haven’t heard of any known dupes for it.   It’s one of those unique “must have” colors:)

TOP (L-R-: California Dreamin’ , Pervette, Utter Pervette, Cute-ster, Lollipop Loving.

MIDDLE (L-R): Bubblegum, Viva Glam Gaga, Angel, Style It Up, B-Babe.

BOTTOM (L-R): Bubbles, Pretty Please, Not So Innocent, Sunsonic, Soft Illusion.

Here is Beigeland Lipstick compared to some other nude, bronzy pink colors that I have.  I didn’t find any dupes for it either, but here is how it compares.

Phlox is a really sheer, but beautiful shimmery light pink… It is difficult to get it to show up in the picture, and I actually broke the lipstick by pressing too hard to swatch it on my arm:(  Guess I will be using a lip brush to apply this one now LOL.  Anyway, it is similar to Dream from the Holiday 2009 Lip Bag.  Dream is also a glaze, and although Phlox is a tad pinker, they are similar enough to where you could skip Phlox if you have Dream.

TOP: Phlox, Pretty Please, Frou, 1N, Soft Illusion, Soft Spot, Not So Innocent. BOTTOM: Dream, Utter Pervette, Pervette, A Rose Romance, Lollipop Loving, Snob Appeal

Radicchio is very close to All’s Fair from the Blonde, Brunette, and Redhead Collection that came out last year.  I would def say you are safe to skip it if you picked up All’s Fair.  I also heard that it’s very similar in color to Pleasing Slimshine (which I don’t have to compare).
