MAC - Saigon Summer

Hi guys!
This is another (technically my second) post on a MAC product and I recently won this MAC lipstick (and two other items) from Sam's blog so thankyou so much for sending me these! I would really recommend you guys to go over to her blog which is really lovely (you are most probably following her!) and more than that are her YouTube videos! They're awesome and you guys can check it out here
I was able to pick a lipstick and I chose Saigon summer which is a creamsheen formula. I haven't really heard or seen this on other blogs but I had my eye on it since it came out.


The lighting has been TERRIBLE lately because of the weather and its so hard to photograph now. But nevertheless I still try and try until it looks better! 
As you can see this is a gorgeous orange colour. I thought it would be slightly similar to Morange which is a very opaque red orange colour and this is much more of a peach orange shade and alot toned down and sheer than Morange as well. I do prefer this one though.  Its very moisturising because of the creemsheen formula and of course the vanilla scent to it is lovely in my opinion. The colour payoff is great and very buildable. The above swatch is in just one stroke. I do literally pat it on so I don't look crazy. It looks really bright in the tube but because its a creamsheen its much subtle. I actually love orange toned lipsticks because they look quite nice with my complexion. There is some slight gold shimmer to it but its not that noticeable once on your lips. 

I love this colour! If your a little scared of Morange then check out this one. Its a beautiful colour!

PS- I'll review the other two items soon :)

  2. I have never heard of this lipstick until you mentioned it. Even when I went to the Mac store to pick it up for you, the workers didn't know it, they had to find it for ages. Very nice colour, Morange looks awful on me so this may work better. Not a huge fan of creamsheen - I find the texture a bit thick do you?

    Lovely lipstick though, not going to buy it because I am on a spending ban, must step away from all makeup stores =/

  5. Oh my gosh...this lipstick WILL be mine! LOL! I have Morange and I love how bright it is. But I only wear it when I'm super tan. It's not really something I'd wear all the time. Saigon Summer seems like something you COULD wear every day. I am really going to buy this! I don't know why but I hadn't heard about it until this post. So...thanks, Hareem! :)

    xoxo

  8. Woah that looked well bright in the bullet! But it does look wearable if you put it on the way you say you do, and I'm sure it does look very pretty on you! (^__^)

    I won a cremesheen lipstick too, I really should put up a post about it haha. The formula and smell is gorgeous, I agree! xo
