#AMonthOfMAC - Viva Glam V

I can't believe we are at the end of #AMonthOfMAC already! I've had so much fun doing this series, and it's going to be really weird not having a blog post going up every day anymore - oh well, it's nearly Blogmas! Viva Glam V is my most recent MAC lipstick purchase, so it's appropriate that it's the last one to be shown in my collection.

#AMonthOfMAC - Viva Glam Miley Cyrus

Can you believe this was my first ever Viva Glam purchase?! None of the shades had previously taken my fancy, so I'd held back until I saw the promo photos for this lipstick. I'd really wanted to not fall in love with this lipstick - I can't say I'm exactly a fan of Miley Cyrus - but this was just to pretty not to go and buy, and with the proceeds going to charity I felt like I was doing a good thing by making this purchase!

#AMonthOfMAC - Vegas Volt

Of all of the lipsticks I own, Vegas Volt is the one that just screams out summer to me. I love wearing this lipstick, whether it be for a day or night look, throughout the warmer months. If you're looking for a nice, vibrant - but not too OTT - lipstick to wear next summer, this is the one to buy.

#AMonthOfMAC - Up The Amp

Purple lipsticks are a very marmite trend. On some people I think that can looks gorgeous. On me? I'm not so sure! I bought this lipstick as I'd seen it look really nice on several people. Unfortunately, I don't think it has the same effect when I apply it myself.

#AMonthOfMAC - Russian Red

Compared to Ruby Woo, this lipstick is much more of your classic red. It's a lot deeper than the brighter blue tones that Ruby Woo has, but again I think this suits a lot of people. This is definitely my favourite red lipstick that I own.

#AMonthOfMAC - Ruby Woo

Ruby Woo is another MAC lipstick that a put off purchasing for a really long time, this time because of the horror stories I've read and heard about how drying the lipstick was. I'd always thought it was a beautiful colour though, so I eventually bit the bullet and decided to buy it. As it turns out, I don't think it's as bad as people make it out.

#AMonthOfMAC - Rebel

Ask a group of beauty lovers what their favourite autumn lipstick is and I reckon at least half of them would say MAC Rebel, and I can see why, it's one of my favourites too. I put off buying this lipstick for such a long time, as it looked really scary in the bullet, but with so many people saying how gorgeous it was, I thought I must be missing something, and I'm so glad I finally caved and bought it.

#AMonthOfMAC - Pure Zen

When I first bought this lipstick it was an instant regret as I really didn't think it went well with my skintone at all, and just looked plain awful. I've since had a little bit of an experiment with it though, and learned to love it teamed with other lip products.

#AMonthOfMAC - Plumful

I've been waiting all month for this post to come around, as Plumful is my favourite ever MAC lipstick, and I couldn't wait to start raving about it! It's the perfect lipstick shade for this time of year too, so I'll be getting a lot of use out of it over the next few weeks & months.

#AMonthOfMAC - Please Me

Despite not being able to get hold of this lipstick when I originally tried to buy it, I finally got my hands on Please Me a few months later and, although I like it, I've not used it as much as I'd thought I would.

#AMonthOfMAC - Pink Plaid

Pink Plaid was a bit of an impulse purchase for me. I bought it whilst there was a Debenhams offer on, and I'd initially wanted to buy Please Me. Having seen that was out of stock, along with a lot of other shades I had on my wishlist, I quickly added Pink Plaid to my online basket, as it seemed to be quite similar.

#AMonthOfMAC - Peach Blossom

Peach Blossom is another of my favourite MAC lipsticks, which was one of my earlier purchases. It's the perfect lipstick for daytime wear during the spring months.

#AMonthOfMAC - Patisserie

Patisserie is an extremely popular MAC lipstick, made ever more so by bloggers/vloggers such as Anna (Vivianna Does Makeup) and Lily Pebbles raving about it. I tried forever to get this lipstick but it always seemed to be sold out. I eventually managed to track it down when I went on my mad dash to buy Kelly Yum Yum, and it's become one of my favourite MAC lipsticks since.

#AMonthOfMAC - Mehr

Poor Mehr! I showed this lipstick to my husband when I bought it. His response when I told him the name was "Meh, that sounds about right!". I think that's pretty unfair! It might not look like much in the bullet, but I think it's a very pretty colour, and great for everyday wear.

#AMonthOfMAC - Lustering

Lustering is one of those forgotten lipsticks in my collection - I'll be honest I had no idea it was there until I dug all of my MAC lipsticks out for this series! It's one of those colours that looks gorgeous in the bullet, which is probably why I bought it, but is a little bit of the "nothing" shade on the lips.

#AMonthOfMAC - Kinda Sexy

Wow, I can't believe we are at the halfway point of #AMonthOfMAC already! I hope you're enjoying the series as much as I am! Now, Kinda Sexy is one of those lipsticks that really lives up to its name. When I wear it I do actually feel "kinda sexy" which believe me is something very rare! I'd say until I recently bought Brave, this was my all time favourite nude lipstick.

#AMonthOfMAC - Kelly Yum Yum

I debated whether to include this lipstick in my #AMonthOfMAC series, as it was limited edition and obviously not available anymore, but it was just too pretty for me not to include it, so I hope you don't mind! The Sharon/Kelly Osbourne collection launched last June, whilst I was on my honeymoon. By the time I'd remembered the collection had launched, and managed to get online (the wifi at the hotel wasn't the best!) everything I wanted had sold out. I was still desperate to get my hands on Kelly Yum Yum though so, after landing at 3am a couple of days later, I drove to Milton Keynes (about an hour from home) on minimal sleep in the hope that it was still in their Debenhams store!

#AMonthOfMAC - Impassioned

You can really tell I went through a phase of loving bright pinks, can't you?! Impassioned is another ones of those lipsticks I picked up after falling in love with the colour but, as it's not much of an "everyday" shade, I've not had much use out of it.

#AMonthOfMAC - Hue

Hue is another one of those lipsticks that I absolutely adored and wore to death when I first bought it, but has since had to make way to newer lipsticks in my collection, and hasn't had much love from me recently.

#AMonthOfMAC - Girl About Town

Another fuchsia pink! This alphabetical order has worked out quite well, as this is the second time two similar shades have gone one after the other, and I'm pretty sure it's not the last time it happens in #AMonthOfMAC either!
