MAC Lipsticks: Shade Extensions (Part II)

This month, MAC will be adding 13 shades of lipstick to their permanent range at all locations. Of the 13 shades, four were previously available at MAC Stores only (one of which will not be reviewed here), three were previously available in Asia only, and six were limited edition. Each lipstick comes in regular black packaging, contains 3 grams of product, and retails for $19. These are applicable for the Back to MAC recycling program at all locations.

Shy Shine, Giddy, Lipblossum, and Flamingo

Shy Shine is a light-medium muted peachy pink-beige with subtle champagne shimmer-sheen in a Lustre finish. This was previously an Asia-exclusive shade, and is now permanent at all locations. It has a soft and creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has medium pigmentation and semi-opaque colour pay-off. It is more peach than High Tea, and lighter and more pink than Jubilee.

Giddy is a medium muted rosy pink with subtle gold shimmer-sheen in a Lustre finish. This was previously an Asia-exclusive shade, and is now permanent at all locations. It has a soft and creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has medium pigmentation and semi-opaque colour pay-off. It is warmer and more muted than Lovelorn, and warmer than Speed Dial.

Lipblossum is a medium warm coral-pink with gold shimmer-sheen in a Lustre finish. This was previously an Asia-exclusive shade, and is now permanent at all locations. It has a soft and creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has medium pigmentation and semi-opaque colour pay-off. It is darker and warmer than Pink Pearl Pop, and lighter than Fanfare.

Flamingo is a light-medium coral-pink in a Lustre finish. This is a re-promote from 2012's Iris Apfel collection, and is now permanent at all locations. It has a soft and creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has medium pigmentation and semi-opaque colour pay-off. It is more pink than Coral Bliss, and more coral than Sunny Seoul.

Shy Shine, Giddy, and Lipblossum were originally Asia-exclusive shades that have now made the permanent range at all locations in North America. On their own, they are lovely colours that are really wearable given that they all have a Lustre finish, but there are many dupes within MAC's permanent range for them so they end up not being the most unique shades. But for those who were seeking these and were bummed to learn that they were exclusive to Asia, you can now buy them on this side of the hemisphere! The shade I'm the most excited about being made permanent is Flamingo, which was originally released in 2012's Iris Apfel collection and was sold out within hours of launch. It was the lightest and most muted shade with the Iris Apfel launch, but it has that perfect blend of peach, pink, and coral that isn't searingly bright. Again, yay for popular limited edition lipsticks becoming permanent!
