MAC Cinderella Royal Ball Lipstick

Purchased By Me
The MAC Cinderella collection is a collection I REALLY wanted to love. But nothing really jumped out at me. The shades are soft and neutral. Basically what you’d expect from a Cinderella collection. The packaging is super cute, but I’ve kind of grown out of buying things JUST for the packaging. Still, I felt like I should at least try something from this collection. As I looked through my tool box I realized that I didn’t own that many nude lipsticks so I added Royal Ball to my wishlist. And that’s really all I ended up getting. Of course during the checkout process I tried convincing myself that I needed the Stroke of Midnight palette. But I stood my ground and didn’t buy into the hype. That doesn’t mean it’s not a pretty palette. It just means that I only have like 50 similar palettes/shades laying around.
Anyway, Royal Ball is a lustre and described as fleshy pink. It looks really frosty on my lips and while I don’t typically go for that sort of look, I actually like this. It did take a little getting used to, but after a little while I really started to love it. I think it has a nice elegant look to it. Totally Cinderella-like. I got about 2 hours of wear time before it started to fade. I found it to be pretty comfortable too. I’m glad I decided to get it after all. It’s a nice addition to my collection.
Ahh I didn’t expect the color to be that light to be honest! Frosty lip colors usually aren’t flattering on me but I’m intrigued about this one! It totally has that “elegant” look to it just like you said! Love your eye makeup, too! And AMAZING product photos! <3
Yeah it looks much darker on other people, but no matter how much I build it up it’s still pretty sheer. And thank you so much! :)
It looks so pretty on you! But I wish it lasted longer on the lips.

Isn’t it? :)
I thought they could really have done more with both the colours as well as the packaging. I don’t know…just seemed so safe. That being said, the lipstick does look pretty on you. :-)
