mac brick-o-la lipstick

This lipstick was an impulse buy about three months ago at an airport, and as it is so often with impulse buys this quickly fell to the back of my lipstick drawer to be forgotten about. However, this post by Estée reminded me of it's existence and I have been wearing Brick-O-La every single day for the past three weeks. Seeing as this doesn't happen very often at all for me as I like to chop and change my products regularly, I thought that it's definitely worthy of a review!

Admittedly Brick-O-La doesn't look extremely special in the bullet, but once swatched it really comes into its own. MAC describe the colour as a "mid-tone berry" which to an extent it is, although I see it more as a muted red with a hint of brown - very classy! I can't fault the pigmentation, and on the lips once it fades it stains my lips a few shades darker than my natural lip colour. This shade is very versatile should work well on all skin tones, especially warmer-toned ones.

Brick-O-La is a permanent shade with an Amplified Creme finish and although I can't compare it to all the other finishes that MAC offer as I haven't tried them all, this certainly is creamy, applies smoothly, isn't drying and lasts a fair few hours. 
MAC Lipsticks are £14 and are available here.

I haven't done a review of a singular product in far too long, I need to get back into the swing of things!
