MAC Cosmetics - Cockney

Bit of a story behind this lipstick, me and my best friend Ellen went to London to see Sigur Ros, and went for a nosey in Camden and she tried on some wedding frocks in FairyGothMother. We popped into the Mac store close by and I decided that 'Cockney' would be a sensible purchase on account of the London and all.

Although red is the staple I think that Red is probably the colour I own the least of, I think I probably have more orangey style lipsticks. MAC describes Cockney as 'sheer yellow red with multi dimensional pearl', I think it's an extremely wearable red because it's shiny you don't get the BAM! of the matt red. I think when I first got it I described it as 'watery'. It is quite quite nice though. It's one of those that changes intensity based on skin tone based on the wee google image search. He is my little selfie.

I also wore it for a shoot recently. It worked really well with my beige and red tartan hot pants. You get the quality that you always get with mac, the smell is amazing, and the texture is perfection, I would highly recommend Cockney for those who fancy red but aren't brave enough to get for a deep one.
