The Lipstick Compendium: MAC 'Vegas Volt' Lipstick

 Price and Availability 

This is part of the permanent MAC collection and costs $14.50. You can also B2M for this, much like I did.

Vegas Volt is creamy bright, yet muted, coral lipstick. It is an Amplified Creme lipstick, meaning it is creamy and pigmented. The texture is smooth, and unlike other lipsticks it doesn't emphasize or cling to dry areas.

Review
I have wanted this lipstick for a long time. I finally was able to Back 2 MAC for it. I was surprised at how creamy and smooth the formula is. I forgot that this is an Amplified Creme, which is one of my favorite MAC finishes. Besides the formula, the color is really nice! I thought it was going to be much brighter, but it is actually oddly wearable for a bright coral. I find that this is a very nice shade across different skin tones. I made two of my friends wear it and it looked great on both of them. Universal shade of coral? Perhaps. I really love it, and I am so glad I finally decided to get it. Might be a great alternative for those of you who are scared to wear orange lipsticks. This will be a more wearable shade than colors like Morange.
The only thing that I have disliked about the lipstick is that sometimes it can make me look very yellow. If I don't wear blush or eye makeup that compliments the lipstick, my skin tone can look a little more yellow than usual, which can then make me look a bit pasty and sick. This has only happened once, but I would be weary of that is you are pale like me. Other than that, it is fabulous!~

Rating: 9.5/10

(it would have been 10/10 if I had not had that one bad experience with the lippie!)

Do you own this shade? Or have you tried any other fabulous coral lipsticks for spring/summer?
