Spend vs. Save: MAC Pink Nouveau Lipstick

Here's one of MAC's best selling shade. I read famous celebrities like Anne Curtis, Heart Evangelista, Ruffa Gutierrez and Kriz Aquino have this in their kikay kits.

MAC Lipstick in Pink Nouveau (Satin) - Php 970.00
It is described as a Bright Pink on MAC's site

LA Colors Moisture Lipstick in Pink Parfait - Php 60.00

PACKAGING :

I love the sturdy black bullet case of MAC's lipsticks.
LA Colors has a clear "cheap" plastic cap that easily cracks.

WEIGHT :
MAC - 3 grams
LA Colors - 3.7 grams

TEXTURE :
Both are creamy but MAC has a drier texture compared to LA Colors that is a bit glossy when applied.

COLOR - PAY OFF :
Both are pigmented.

STAYING POWER :
Both lasts for about 3-4 hours on me without eating or drinking.

I included other pink lipsticks for comparison.

Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Mauve
LA Colors Moisture Lipstick in Pink Parfait
MAC Lipstick in Pink Nouveau
NYX round lipstick in Fig

Pink Parfait is a blue based pink while Pink Nouveau looks a purplish pink in the tube, but goes bright pink when applied. Fig is a warm medium pink while Mauve has a purple undertone but not bright when applied - its a very pretty MLBB shade on me.


FINAL THOUGHTS:
I love Pink Nouveau but if you're looking for something cheaper Pink Parfait is an alternative. Plus I really love the glossy texture of LA Colors lipsticks, its very moisturing!


Till next time,
