MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner Fushia Fix!

Hello Cupcakes!!

I must admit that the best things in life are free!! Well kind of, the great thing about graduating is not the self accomplishment or giddy sense of hope that erupts prompting you to re evaluate your life and look to a new future...commence a new journey in life. All that is great, I guess...but the true fruits of your labor arise in the form of gifts given at your graduation party!!! Oh yes all that green paper and shiny plastic, it makes you want to take flight to the nearest hill and rejoice in the sound of music!!! I really suggest that for no other reason...at least graduate for the free gifts!! 

I was given a gift card to Macy's for $50 and I immediately thought of blowing it at the MAC counter. I mean really what else is there to purchase at Macy's besides cosmetics? Other than a few shadows, I wanted to make a random purchase, something I would not ordinarily buy with my own money. In the spirit of free money I picked up a tinted lip conditioner in the color Fushia Fix. Usually I spend a large portion of my day obsessively researching on youtube and blogs for my next makeup purchase. This time I threw caution to the wind and make a purchase without doing any research.

I love this product!! I did a post on the eos lip balms and I do still love those. They are super moisturizing but since I rarely wear lipstick or even lip gloss I was intrigued by the MAC tinted lip conditioner because it gives a bit of color in a lip balm form. Since purchasing this product I have seen a few reviews on youtube and people seem to be opposed to the packaging because you have to stick your finger in the product in order to apply it to your lips. For me, that is not a huge problem...I think I actually prefer it for some strange reason. This product has SPF 15 which is a huge upside and it is extremely moisturizing. Since it is only a lip tint, although the colors are very vibrant looking, the conditioner applies very sheer however, with a few swipes it is possible to get a deeper hue. This adds a lot of shine and it smells like warm vanilla. I chose the most vibrant color because I have pretty pigmented lips and I wanted it to show up. I know that Petting Pink is also a very popular shade but I feel like it wouldn't have shown up so I opted for Fuchsia Fix! I think that it adds the perfect amount of color for someone like me who doesn't usually wear a lot. Take a look!

Did you notice the massive amount of product that you get?

I forgot to mention that if you really want a good color payoff you sort of have to did into the product instead of just swirl your finger on the top or else you will just pick up the gloss part. Good rule of thumb is...you have to see the actual color on your finger.

The top swatch is what the color looks like with a couple of good swipes. The bottom swatch is just with one swipe.

Ignore the strange rectangular indentation on my arm...my watch was there.

Sorry this pic isn't spectacular and it also sort of looks like a mug shot but only of my lips...strange.

 All in all I would repurchase this product and though it is a little pricey for $14.50, I really love it! The word on the street is that the Loreal H.I.P brand carries lip gellies that are comparable at about $9.00 a jar. I would have tried them but I can't find them at any drugstore.
