The post on coral lips yesterday did generate a good response. I decided to review the Vegas Volt Lipstick hence! Oh and this is a picture heavy post. [teeheee I got carried away] :P
This is a bright coral lipstick that demands attention. It is summery, bright yet very flattering. I was skeptical initially cause I'm not someone who experiments much. I stay away from nudes and super bright lipsticks. So this was pretty big for me. I wear it strictly at night.
Oh but you can easily wear it in the day time if you use it as a stain..(with your fingers) or even wear it with gloss.
Note: Pictures are taken without flash, unless otherwise mentioned.
Its an Amplified lipstick and the MAC website describes it as a Full Power Coral.
For reference, I am a NC 40 in MAC, I own the NC 42 Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation though. Review here.
I dont know what it is about winters that make me dark! Its so weird. Its generally the other way round for people. And since I dont bother wearing foundations in summer, (Actually I hardly ever do) I dint bother getting a lighter one. :D

Oh and I did Half FOTDs. :P

Oh I did another look too.. But it was quite bleh. Should I post? Let me know! I have no qualms making a joke here!:P
