PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: MAC LIPSTICK IN TOXIC TALE (DISNEY VENOMOUS VILLAINS COLLECTION)

Here's an initial review on MAC LIPSTICK IN TOXIC TALE FROM THE DISNEY VENOMOUS VILLAINS COLLECTION

PRICE: 1000PHP
PLACE BOUGHT: MAC, GLORIETTA 4, MAKATI CITY
OTHER LOCATIONS: MAC SHANGRI- LA, MANDALUYONG CITY; MAC POWERPLANT MALL, ROCKWELL; MAC DUTY FREE PHILIPPINES, PARANAQUE CITY; MAC MARIONNAUD, SM MALL OF ASIA, PASAY CITY

THE VERDICT:

Of all of my lemmings from the VV collection by MAC, this is what I only got. This shade of lipstick is so unique, that I'll regret it if I pass up on it.

Toxic Tale is part of the collection featuring the Evil Stepmother from Snow White.

The Disney collection's price per product was hiked up just a bit. So instead of paying for the usual 950php for a lippie, I paid 1000php. I guess we have to pay for the Disney rights too, huh? :)))

Moving on.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" Oh, Evil Stepmother, you're my most favorite villain of all time! The meanest and the vainest villain I've encountered. She should've started her own beauty blog too (if blogging existed in their kingdom). LOL!

I just love the simple picture of the Evil Stepmother on the cheap shiny plastic tube (I didn't like the look of the tube!). It also makes this easier to spot in my make- up train case because her picture serves as a marker.

Toxic Tale's intensity and shade varies, depending on the color of the skin tone of the person wearing it. I've noticed that, it looked red/coral on girls with fair complexion, and it looked bright coral on girls with medium to dark complexion. So I can't really say that it's just a plain bright coral lipstick with no undertones whatsoever (because that's how the shade came out on me).

Regarding the consistency, Toxic Tale provides a smooth, opaque finish that lasts long. It even leaves a hint of coral on the lips even if the lipstick is completely wiped off. Staying power is very good. Albeit, some girls may need to apply lip balm underneath the lipstick, as this lipstick can be a bit drying.

Here's moi wearing the lipstick. I am sorry for the informal sleeping clothes! I was about to sleep, but I jumped out of bed and decided to play with my new lipstick. :)

This color will definitely brighten up a dull face, and will definitely add a pop of color to an almost bare- looking face. And I can also see myself wearing this more often in the summer months during beach time! And this shade of coral also makes teeth look white!
