The MAC Jeremy Scott Lip X 9 Future Emotions Is Made for Mixing
Seriously, this packaging is amazing! All of the details are completely there. THIS IS A LIP PALETTE, PEOPLE. But it totally looks like a mix tape. I can see it sitting on the floor of my little red Honda Civic back in the day. (Side note: it would have been filled with songs that I recorded off the radio on KMEL.)
This is NOT a MAC mix tape, obvs. It’s the $25 MAC Lip X 9 Future Emotions lip palette, and it has nine of MAC’s non-shiny lipsticks inside, so Matte, Amplified and Satin finishes in bright and deep shades like pink, purple, orange — the bold route. There’s only one nude, and everything else is like BAM!
Unlike lip palettes where, when you dip a brush or a finger into the pans, they’re so soft that you accidentally dig a fingernail into them, the lippies in this palette feel hard and kind of stiff. They don’t exactly glide, and they definitely feel a little drier than usual for MAC… When I wear them, I feel like I need to constantly put lip balm on, before and after.
That said, if you don’t have super dry lips like I do, and flaking is never an issue for you, it’s a fun palette, especially if you like to mix colors.
