Review: MAC Lipglass in Spite

I’m not what you would call a spiteful person but I would really love to go around being a complete cow for a day and when I get confronted for my negative behaviour, I’ll just say “My lipgloss made me do it”.

Now while I don’t know how successfully that would work as an excuse (even though I would probably try it out one day), it doesn’t stop Spite from MAC being an absolute gorgeous lipglass shade.

Best described as a nude, plummy brown, Spite is another recent purchase that I seem to either find in my jeans pocket or in depths of my bag because I really seem to wear it more than my other glosses at the moment and honestly that has to be because Spite is one of those lipgloss shades that are so close (but a better version) of your natural lip shade that you can get away with being COMPLETELY lazy and not having to wear lipliner or a balm or anything extra. Which is super as I’m one of those people you see commuting on the train or bus who always seems to be putting on the last touches of their makeup.

Spite can look a little dull and cool in its tube and while it is not as richly pigmented as many of the products I would normally go for, it is very easy to apply this shade and once applied it kind of adapts to your lips

I think Spite is just one of those colors that would look great no matter your skin tones. It’s simple, neutral and you don’t have to think too hard to use it

Want to Combat A Bad Day? Add A Bit Of Chestnut, Spice and Spite.

You know you’ve had a bad day when you have the compulsion to throw an iPhone (with hopefully pinpoint accuracy) at the back of a stranger’s head.

Honestly though, they would have deserved it.

In their haste to get onto their train, this person bumped into me HARD and sent my iPhone sprawling to its concrete demise, leaving only a disfigured plastic and technological mesh

AKA

Someone barged into me at London Bridge and smashed my iPhone without saying sorry. I know I really could have just started off the post like this but I was really getting into the whole melodramatic storytelling.

Normally this would have pissed me off and I would have gotten over it but after a red pen exploded onto my favourite white cardigan (which fyi I only bought 2 weeks ago), I spilt tea all over desk at work, my camera’s SD card stopped working so I now have to buy a new one, some silly person smashed my iPhone and then I almost missed my 1st driving lesson in 3 years because some Nigerian lady decided to have an argument with the bus driver because she didn’t have enough money on her oyster card and thought haggling with the bus driver will get her to her destination . . . All in one day . . . Beauty Retail is in need.

Presenting a small effort to cheer myself up. MAC’s Lipgloss in Spice and Spite and MAC’s Lipliner in Chestnut.

 

I know that I might be a slave to consumerism for cheering myself up with lipgloss but lets be honest with a day this bad, a mini nude lipgloss haul gives me something positive to fuss over rather than the fact that I can no longer, tweet, instagram, listen to music or read iBooks for 2 weeks.
