MAC Sweet & Sour

I was recently invited down to the launch of the MAC Pro Store in Covent Garden and whilst there was given a pretty generous discount, which of course I made use of and spent a small fortune stocking up on new MAC products. It's been a surprisingly long time since I last shared my thoughts on a MAC lipstick with you, and even though Sweet & Sour isn't easily available now, on the off chance that it will be re-released, I thought I would share my love for this Creamy Peach with you.

I had wanted to pick up a few products in the All About Orange Collection for a while but due to them being incredibly fast sell outs, I wasn't able to. Fortunately, at the new Covent Garden store,  the entire collection was fully stocked and so I was so pleased to finally pick up this MAC lipstick in Sweet & Sour after lusting after it since I had seen the promo shots pre release. 

MAC Sweet & Sour was probably the stand out shade in the collection for me; being a soft Peach Cream with a natural sheen it fits in my collection just perfectly and has become a favourite of mine to apply this Summer so far. I've never really been blown away by Cremesheen formulas, but I must say that I'm pleasantly impressed with Sweet & Sour. It appears on my lips slightly more matte, with a lot less of a glossed finish than I thought it would, but still feels pretty creamy and doesn't need too much attention at all. I really like to wear it with a Nude or Peach gloss on top, which is a new thing for me, but it looks really pretty I can't get enough.

Although this has become a current go to lipstick for me, I'm trying to hold off using it every day as like I mentioned before, it's almost impossible to get hold of now, unless you're willing to pay over the odds which I wouldn't really recommend.

 MAC lipsticks are an all time favourite of mine and costing £15 can be purchased both online and at counters in MAC stand alone stores, Selfridges, House of Fraser and Debenhams.

What do you think of Sweet & Sour? Did you manage to pick up anything in the All About Orange Collections?
