I've finally got my hands on one of the most sought after MAC lip pencils ever - Whirl.
Ever since Kylie Jenner burst onto our Instagram feeds and into our lives, we have all been going crazy after her gorgeous nude and 90s lip colours. And Whirl is one of the lip colours she uses to achieve those to-die-for lips.
And only a while ago MAC launched a whole new collection of colours added to their permanent matte lipsticks, including the matching lipstick to Whirl lip pencil.
I'm not gonna lie to you, I kinda lost my shit when I heard that not only the lip pencil I had lusted after for months, the lip pencil that had me checking the MAC website like an estranged ex-girlfriend waiting for that text message, only to be turned away when reading the words 'SOLD OUT' the lip pencil that I craved for so long was back in stock, but there was a matching matte lipstick too?!
Shit = Lost.
Now, I don't splurge on MAC very often, but the chance to achieve Kylie Jenner lips, that could sell out at any moment? On it like a tramp on chips.
I really do love MAC products, okay, given that I only own about 8 (make that 9 now!) lipsticks, false lash mascara, highlighters, lip pencils and gel eyeliner, I do consider MAC as good quality makeup that I don't mind splurging on every now and again, you gotta treat yourself, right?
So imagine my excitement this morning when I checked my mailbox and sitting there was the lovely bubblewrap black envelope.
As soon as I was back upstairs I ripped the envelope open and swatched my longed after purchase, 'ooohing' with glee.
It's just the most beautiful matte rosy brown shade, perfect for creating that circa 1995 lip that I loved growing up in the 90s, when I longed to grow up looking like Jennifer Aniston or Courtney Cox.
This makeup look is so in at the moment, which I am over the moon about, because growing up in the 90s was boss. And now the fashion and makeup trends are back in, I'm all over the matte rosy brown lips like you wouldn't believe.
I decided to give this lipliner/lipstick combo a (excuse the pun) whirl today and created my own 90s/Kylie Jenner look:
