147 lip paint, peach melba nail paint, bold black pencil liner
before he sent my package he asked what kind of things i liked, and if there was anything i wanted to try. i couldn't think of anything at the time so i just said i liked neutrals and i was a fan of the nail and lip paints so i was super glad to receive these colours! i actually bought blue moon a few weeks ago and contemplated buying peach melba also but decided not to for some reason. i've heard quite a lot about the 147 being a dupe for mac ever hip, and ever hip being a dupe for cut a caper.. so..
cut a caper, ever hip, 147
i think the lightening must have been rubbish here because they're photographing really red - they're definitely very coral! i'd say ever hip and cut a caper are basically the same colour but different finishes but the 147 whilst is lovely, isn't quite the same. it's a bit peachier and i don't know if it's just me but i find the lip paints a little harder to wear - they do seem to emphasise dry areas.
cut a caper, ever hip, barry m 147
i think these photos show the colours much more accurately than the lipsticks side by side. you can see the peachiness in the 147 a lot more, and the pink in the mac ones show up more on me.. which i do think suits me better. if you prefer orange/peach corals then the 147 will be perfect for you, if you prefer pinker corals then i'd recommend cut a caper and i'd say ever hip is somewhere in between. unfortunately the mac lipsticks are limited edition but if you can find them anywhere definitely pick them up! i think my favourite is ever hip, mainly because it's a cremesheen where as cut a caper is a lustre and doesn't last as long!
who knew there were so many shades of coral though?! whats your favourite coral lipstick?
you're so pretty! I've been looking at buying ever hip myself ! xx

all hail bazza m! x x
ReplyDeleteOh you and your twitter fights! Love that they get results x
ReplyDeleteI searched for peach melba last week and couldn't find it anywhere - I've never tried Barry M lipsticks before but I've seen a few posts recently that have mentioned them. Gonna give this a try - I don't own a coral lippie!

Oo, I like the lippy! Think I might start a dispute with Barry M ;)

The coral nail polish is such a gorgeous colour!!
ReplyDeletePeach melba is gorgeous :) I had 147 too, it really suits you but it just looked weird on me! I find the lipsticks like you hard to work with. I just think the formula isn't the best. As much as I love Bazza M for their nail paints their lipsticks are a no-no for me. Great post though x
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted a MAC lipstick but just don't have the money :(
ReplyDeleteI love my MaxFactor coral one though,

ohmagawd u r such a beb! ;)
ReplyDeletehaha you've made me want 147 now! xx
i don't actually own a coral lipstick but i think i might pick up that barry m one next time im shopping! their lipsticks last so well and they're not drying on me at all :)
ReplyDeleteglad you and bazza sorted your differences haha!
I also find the lip paints a bit drying, they're not very moisturising, but they stay on for ages! So jealous of your free parcel! http://openboxjewels.blogspot.com/ X
ReplyDeleteOh, I definitely agree with you on the lip paints - I love the shades, but they're incredibly drying! I do love a good coral lipstick, although I wasn't aware there were so many shades on the market at the moment, though! xx
ReplyDeleteThe lipstick looks absolutely gorgeous on you

ReplyDeleteI am too chicken for coral lipstick. How sad am I?!!
I don't have any coral, I have orange and red but I'm going to try the barry m one to see if it suits me, they are always pretty cheap x
ReplyDeleteif you use photobucket I can't see it at work klee. its FORBIDDEN. jus' sayin.
ReplyDeletethose colours are so lovely :) x
ReplyDeleteI would really like a new lippie in this sort of shade, it really suits your skin tone too :)

I'm a big fan of MAC lipstick ut the Barry M one looks lovely. I think my favourite here is even hip, it looks just a little pinker than the others
