New day, new MAC lipstick – I'm talking as I have an entire army of these guys but they're so good that it's really easy to get addicted to them and want more. This is the second MAC lipstick in my collection and it surely is a beaut! You had the chance to read all about my baby love – MAC Pure Zen lipstick and this time you'll catch a glimpse of another beyond beautiful nude lip shade. What can I say, I'm a sucker for nudes. MAC Shy Girl Lipstick is also a Cremesheen just like Pure Zen and it's completely easy to see why Cremesheens are so loved and cherished by many. They're of an ideal, plush texture that goes well over dry lips such as mine. Shy Girl is a bit warmer than Pure Zen but definitely in the nude category – however, it's rather hard to put my finger on it. Why? It has a nude-y quality, a bit warm but it's not peachy. It leans towards the coral category but it isn't as punchy and it doesn't have a pink-y undertone. It's a very universal hue of which I believe that looks flattering on most, if not all, skin tones.
Novi dan, novi MAC ruz – pricam o njima kao da posjedujem citavu armiju jer toliko su dobri da je nevjerovatno lagano postati ovisan o ovim ruzevima za usne. Jos lakse je uhvatiti se u sanjarenju o jos bezbroj novih nijansi jer svaka je ljepsa od prethodne. Danas vam pisem o svom drugom MAC ruzu i zaista je ljepotan! Imale ste priliku da citate o mojim dojmovima glede MAC Pure Zen ruza no ovaj put je u fokusu druga, jednako fantasticna nudasta nijansa – MAC Shy Girl ruz za usne. Sta da vam kazem, uvijek ‘padam’ na nudaste sarmere. Shy Girl je takodjer Cremesheen formulacije bas poput Pure Zen nijanse i izuzetno je lako shvatiti zasto su Cremesheen ruzevi omiljeni i popularni. Idealne su teksture, mekane poput jastucica i savrseni su za suhe usne poput mojih. Shy Girl je malo toplija nijansa od Pure Zen -a no svakako se i dalje zadrzava u nudastoj kategoriji. Ipak, relativno je tesko vjerno opisati ovu nijansu. Zasto? Osim sto spada u ‘nude’ vrstu mogu reci da je toplog podtona no nije breskvasta. Naginje na koralnoj boji no nije dovoljno intenzivna da bi se kvalifikovala, niti ima ruzicaste primjese. Koliko god bila specificna, toliko je i univerzalna jer zaista vjerujem da pristaje vecini – ako ne i svim tonovima tena.
Texture is divine. I have read a few complaints regarding the Cremesheens stating that it's somewhat ‘dry’ – referring to the idea that it clings to dry parts of lips. Now, I cannot vouch nor would I want for others but all I can say behalf of myself is that this is the most beautiful lipstick texture I've come across. It's very pigmented, borderline opaque but not completely as my natural lip color shines through. Never looks chalky but very creamy and even sheeny. You'll notice that Shy Girl has some light iridescents flecks shot through but they don't translate on my lips not have I ever seen that they or the pigment gather in fine lines. I'd even dare to say that the texture is impeccable. I cannot fault it and even wear these lipsticks on their own, without a lip balm underneath (gasp!). No dryness, no chapped parts accentuated, longevity is quite nice for such a creamy lipstick. It endures approx 3h on my lips and during all those three hours my lips are evenly coated with nude-y goodness. It fades evenly and doesn't transfer all over or bleed. Lipstick is packaged in the classic MAC black bullet and features a light vanilla scent. Gorgeous offering – no wonder it's one of MAC's top-selling shades.
Tekstura je bozanstvena. Procitala sam u par navrata da pojedine osobe smatraju kako je Cremesheen linija ruzeva donekle ‘suha’ – zele reci da im se formulacija ‘uhvati’ za suhe dijelove usana. Ne bih mogla, niti bih se usudila da pisem u necije ime tako da cu vam samo prenijeti vlastito iskustvo. Kao (ne bas ponosna) vlasnica dosta suhih usana, zaista mi se nije desilo da ovi ruzevi naglasavaju njihovu suhocu. Cak bih se usudila reci da Cremesheen ruzevi za moj pojam imaju najbolju teksturu od svih ruzeva. Shy Girl je divno pigmentiran ruz, skoro pa u potpunosti prekriva usne no uhvatila sam u par navrata lijep dojam kako prirodna boja usana proviruje kroz njega sto doprinosi prirodnom dojmu. Nikada ‘kredast’ vec krasno kremast, ugodan i uz blagi sjaj. Primjetiti cete da Shy Girl ruz u sebi sadrzi i sitne presijavajuce cestice no na usnama nisu primjetne. Ruz, kao ni spomenute sjajne cestice se ne nakupljaju u pregibima i boricama usana. Cremesheen ruzeve nosim cak i bez balzama za usne ispod sto je za mene ranije bilo nezamislivo. Trajnost iznosi solidna 3h i tokom sva tri sata su mi usne prekrivene ravnomjerno rasporedjenim pigmentom. Ruz blijedi takodjer ravnomjerno sa usana, ne prelijeva se izvan rubova usana niti se uvlaci u borice na granici sa usnama. Upakovan je u klasicno MAC crno pakovanje i njeznog je mirisa vanilije. Potpuno shvatam zasto je ovo jedan od najprodavanijih MAC-ovih ruzeva. Kupila sam ga za cca 30KM preko Facebook stranice Svijet Kozmetike.
