Product Review | Mehr MAC Lipstick

Ciao At the beginning of last year I briefly mentioned my desire to incorporate a lot more beauty related posts into my blog. Sadly, this didn't quite go to plan so I'm back to square one with the hope of giving it a go this year. Wish me luck :P

Today I will be sharing one of my favourite MAC lipsticks, EVER. Now, I'm sure the majority of you would nod your head and agree with me in saying that MAC is just one of those brands you cannot help but purchase. Over the past two years I've accumulated quite a bit of a collection which I'm always looking to add to. Mind you, this isn't very hard to do so when half of the people I follow on social media are forever uploading their recent make-up purchases, beauty favourites or #FOTD (face of the day) posts. Ha! Now you can see why my to-buy list just keeps on getting longer and longer.

Mehr is not a shade that I've heard many other ladies rave about. It's described as being a dirty blue pink shade and was originally launched as a limited edition lipstick alongside Double Shot, Tabla and Yash. All four of these shades proved to be a success and were thereby incorporated into the brand's permanent range. According to my good friend Google it was either part of the Middle-Eastern or Mickey Con collection.


I picked it up by chance and I guess you can say it was very much a fell in love at first sight swatch sort of thing. It's in a matte formula which just happens to be one of my favourite types of lipsticks regardless of how flaky and dry my lips can become. Mehr glides onto my lips fairly easily and does not require for me to use a lip liner prior to applying it. The pigmentation is amazing and tends to stay on for a good three-four hours. One of my favourite things is that it's complimentary to all seasons so can be worn all year round, both day and night.

 
Mehr has been one of my go-to lipsticks for the past year and a bit
  • #BeautyTip: Make sure you prep your lips beforehand by regularly using a lip scrub.
  • #BeautyTip: Apply a slick of lip balm before applying your lipstick to ensure your lips are smooth and moisturised.
Have any of you guys tried Mehr before? If so, what are your thoughts? I'd also love for you guys to suggest any lipsticks that you feel are worth a purchase as I'm a bit of a lipstick junkie :)

Ciao ♥ Xx
