I never thought a shade like Maybelline Color Sensational 'My Mahogany' would look good on me (you know I'm so stuck in my pink ways*), but when I first wore it, I was so impressed I have been wearing it almost everyday ever since. When applied sparingly, it looks 'my lips but warmer' on me, so if you have a warmer/darker skin tone than mine, look no further coz this might just be your 'My Lips But Better' lippie.
My Mahogany is a warm nude shade with peach undertones. It has the same sweet caramel fragrance like all the other MCS lippies, which I have never had a problem with.
255 My Mahogany |
It looks more peachy in natural daylight, but with yellow light indoors, it looks very natural. I'm always wearing neutral eye makeup (read: Naked) & bronzer these days, so this is the lipstick I reach for every time. If it looks good on me, it'll look good on anybody.
Dupe? I had a feeling I have tried a shade like this in MAC before, and after some sniffing around, I think it looks similar to MAC Cosmo Lipstick. See Karla Sugar's swatch of it here and decide for yourself.

ReplyDeleteeven I love My mahagony. this is the shade which i love using daily,
it would be nice if you could come up with a post on similar shades of my mahagony across other Indian brands. It would be useful
Its such a pretty shade Cynthia....now wonder ppl were talking of starting a fan page for it on FB :-))
ReplyDeletei bought this just 2 days back... and mostly because rima praises it so much and i just loved it on me.... cz, you have cosmo na? can u pls do a comparison? cosmo has been on my to buy list and i almost picked it up the other day (the SA made me buy studio fix instead)
ReplyDeletebut when i wore this, it looked very similar to cosmo...
this is such an awesome shade .... i tried this in lifestyle but thought will buy later as its permanent ...
ReplyDeleteam dying to get my hands on this ASAP :D
Rashmi- Oh u should get it...it'll look great on u
ReplyDeleteanks- No, I don't have it, but might get it after this :D
GGG- Really??!! haha...it deserves it
mitha-Will do that sometime, although it can't get any better than Maybelline here in India. But Lakme probably has a shade like it.

Ginger- thanks....hope u find a shade u like.
ReplyDeleteKC- Similar....half n half is definitely lighter
Rima- ya, I know u love this :)
Bhumika- Ya, I noticed that too. Then we'll just have to mix a lil bit of pink lipstick with this ;p
♥xx♥
Laksh- Yes, so awesome :)
ReplyDeletebharti- I'm sure u'll love it
siri- Don't resist. It'll look so pretty on u! :)
♥xx♥
this is such a nice neutral color! it's so pretty. <3
ReplyDeleteOh I really like this. Definitely seems like it'd be a MLBB shade for me
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that MAC Cosmo is a dupe of My Mahagony [or vice-versa]. I was craving for this but unfortunately when I tried it on my lips it looked like a plain lip balm :( so I didn't get this one. Surprisingly Cosmo shows on my lips !!!
ReplyDeleteI love this shade :) btw nice blog.. following u now :)
