50 Days of Lipstick – Day 25 — Thoughts on MAC Nude Rose and Fast Play
I’m halfway through my 50 Days of Lipstick and so far so good on using up lipsticks in my collection. My challenge has been photographing each lipstick every day. It’s been very tricky and not always feasible. Today I’ll share two rediscovered favorites — both from MAC. I wore these last week. The colours are Nude Rose which was from the Dsquared collection last year, and Fast Play, a permanent colour.
I love both colours for their versatility. Nude Rose is a pretty nude (how descriptive!) colour that looks great paired with smokey eyes. It has enough pink in it so I don’t look like the living dead. It’s creamy and looks great paired with a pink or peachy pink gloss on top. I do have to swipe it a couple of times to get the desired colour level but all in all I’m glad to have picked up this colour.Fast Play (Below) is I think a hidden gem of a lipstick. It is a neutral pink that looks like my lips but better. I have neglected this colour somehow and now want to wear it every day. It would look great on many skintones I think and is a nice, somewhat brighter alternative to a straight-out nude colour. This is an amplified cream and has good pigmentation. It is so pretty – love love love it! Have you rediscovered any new favorites recently?

These are both gorgeous colors! I actually don't think I have anything like these lippies in my collection anymore. I'm not much of a fan of nudes but I never really found the right pinky-nude, and I got rid of MAC Fanfare and Hug Me because they were just so drying on my lips I never wore them. All the pinks I have left are much more vibrant than these though.

Both look very pretty on you Michelle. I think that I'll have to add Fast Play to my kit some time soon.
I've rediscovered my Viva Glam V lipstick. I forgot how much I love this colour and have been wearing just about everyday for the last few weeks.
