Every now and then I sample products that are positively not for my complexion, but perfect for darker-skinned women. These two products, from MAC Style Warrior, fall into that category.
Oh, hot chocolate! MAC Style Warrior Lipglass is a blackened bronze brown with pearl that adds multi-dimensional color to the lips. I'm so in love with the shade, and the zebra-printed cap on the tube, that I'm in a bit of denial that it just doesn't suit my fair complexion. I want to wear it out so badly! Maybe if I layer on enough bronzer…
Remember how your grandparents "bronzed" your parents' baby booties? That is the precise shade of the long-wearing "Mercenary" nail lacquer by MAC! Its subtle metallic finish is part urban-tough, part golden-goddess. Don't forget, all MAC nail lacquer is DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde-free!
Style Warrior Lipglass by MAC retails for $14.
Mercenary Nail Lacquer by MAC retails for $11.
