MAC Impassioned ~ Lipstick Of The Month!

When you're browsing the MAC website, is there a particular swatch from the wall of lipstick swatches that you always end up clicking?
For me, it has a-l-w-a-y-s been Impassioned. I think I've clicked on it, like, 30 times. So in September last year, before leaving New Delhi, I decided to get it & try out the attractive thing. But I didn't start using it until December! Now I'm wearing it at least twice a week. Mostly because all the warm clothes I have to wear in this weather are black, and I just want to brighten up something. 
Finish: Amplified. Somewhere between creamy & matte (MAC matte). It's pigmented like a matte lipstick & moisturizing like a creamy lipstick. It's comfortable and always looks lip-friendly. MAC's Amplified finish is one of the best, and my lips love it!
Color: Amped Up Fuchsia. When it's gloomy, it looks pinker & cool-toned. But when it's sunny, it look warmer & the coral undertone shows up more.
Longevity: It doesn't need to be touched-up for for  2-3 hours on me. Usually, I only need to retouch the center of my lips.
Scented? Nope.
It's similar to, but lighter, than MAC Party Parrot Lipstick. I'll maybe do a separate comparison post sometime. 
MAC Impassioned is definitely one of the best bright lipsticks out there. A cheery color on a drab winter day. A fun & flirty color on a sunny day at the beach (I want to be in GOA!)

  7. I've been on the hunt for this lipstick too but it's sold out at the MAC stores in south Bombay. So I bought Elizabeth Arden lipstick in watermelon coz that's supposed to be a more expensive and glossier version of this (note to self: need to review that soon.)

  16. It's such a lovely color and leaves a strong stain afterwards. Your swatch looks quite coral. However, it looks more fuchsia on me.

I ♥ finding little notes in my Vanity Case, so do drop one. I read all of them & I try my best to reply to each & every one of them [check back in 2-3 days =D] but most times it's physically impossible! Either way, I love to hear from you & really appreciate you taking the time out to share your thoughts <3

Thank you for reading! :)
