MAC - Marilyn Monroe collection Scarlett Ibis




Let me introduce you to my favourite lipstick ever. Not only is it a beautiful shade, texture and in a beautiful casing but it also has incredible sentimental value.

When the Marilyn Monroe collection was released I was a full time college student and working on the weekends only - there was no way I would ever of even considered spending £15 on a lipstick. I plonked this on my Christmas wish list and thought nothing of it. Then it sold out - I think I actually cried. On Christmas day my boyfriend gave me a little lipstick shaped box - and this baby was inside of it. He had bought the lipstick for 3x retail because that's how much I wanted it. Because of this I only ever wear it on very very very special occasions.#

This colour for me is the perfect orange-red. I have not been able to find another quite like it! It is a matte lipstick however it is not too drying on the lips, applies like a dream and only needs an occasional top up on a night out (I smoke, unfortunately - I am working on giving up I promise!)
