Mineralize Rich Lipstick- Midnight Mambo (Limited Edition)

Midnight mambo 




I love the magnetic packaging 




The formula is creamy, smooth, and moisturizing. 




Like most MAC collections there are some products that are truly amazing and there are others that are less to be desired. Personally I love the Mineralize Skinfinish products that are available in this collection as well as the Mineralize Rich lipsticks. There are five Mineralize Skinfinishes available only three of which are limited edition. There are five Mineralize Rich Lipsticks available and only one is limited edition, Midnight Mambo. In this collection there are four Cremesheen Glass and they cost $20, a steep price in my opinion. In total there are six limited edition mineralize eye shadows, all of which are not worth their $21 price tag. They can be used wet or dry but in all honesty they are not pigmented or easy to use with either method. This collection offers three limited edition blushes. The two that I think would work for most skin tone are Sweet Samba and Simmer. Simmer did seem to have a bit of glitter when swatched I found Sweet Samba to be the easiest to work with.
