PROS :
- M.A.C Tendertalk Lip Balm Pretty Me Up comes in the usual black M.A.C packaging. Love the holographic tube. It stands out among my other lip products.
- It comes in 5 shades– Candy Wrapped (Sheer pink), Play With Me (Sheer red), Pretty Me Up (Sheer oral), Side Dish (Sheer plum) and Teddy Pink (Sheer bright pink).
- But honestly when I tried them at the store, they didn’t seem that different because they were all so sheer and they react to the pH of your lips and all the shades looked similar on my lips except Play with Me (it looked a bit reddish).
- M.A.C Tendertalk Lip Balm has a pleasant smell like that of vanilla just like any M.A.C products.
- Also, it doesn’t tug and feels very comfortable on the lips.
- It hydrates and moisturises my lips.
- Most importantly, I need not exfoliate my lips before applying matte lipsticks anymore since M.A.C lip balm removes the dead skin really well.
- It stays put for 7-8 hours easily when you don’t have oily food.
- M.A.C Tendertalk Lip balm is pH-sensitive. So, they will appear pinkish or reddish and sheer or vibrant depending on your body chemistry.
- It is expensive. In fact, it is much more expensive than the M.A.C lipsticks but their functionality is too good to pass it over.
- Travel Friendly. The tube is sturdy and shuts with a click.
- Shelf life: around 36 months. The packaging will not have definite expiry date. Want to know how to find out the expiry date on M.A.C products? Refer M.A.C Retro Matte Lipstick – Ruby Woo.
CONS :
- None.
Rating : 5/5.
SUGGESTIONS :
- Just rub over your lips for 30-45 secs and you are good to go.
- It can be used as a base to M.A.C Retro Matte Lipstick – Ruby Woo.
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
