Brand: MAC
Range: Lipglass
Shade: Indigo Pink (Jeanius Collection 2011)
Swatched by yours truly: akisa

• Indigo Pink is a limited edition shade described as a “deep burgundy with blue pearl”, the same as Riveting Rose lipstick which I swatched yesterday.
• It can be worn as a finishing gloss on burgundy lipstick, but I love it just as much on its own as the blue tones make it look kind of berry when blended with my pink lip tone.  
• Slight tendency to sink into lip lines but not noticeable if you apply a moderate amount.
• Verdict: If the idea of an intense burgundy lipstick sounds all too much, try lining lips with a plum lip liner and finish off with this lipgloss instead.   Guaranteed to get you in the mood for autumn/winter.

  

Brand: MAC
Range: Lipstick (Frost)
Shade: Riveting Rose (Jeanius Collection 2011)
Swatched by yours truly: akisa

• Riveting Rose is described as a “deep burgundy with blue pearl” and is a limited edition shade from the latest Jeanius Collection.
• Despite the Frost finish, this didn’t look that frosty on me, possibly because I spent more time blending it into the lip surface.
• Verdict: If you love a dark burgundy lip, I highly recommend this one as it’s not everyday you come across a burgundy shade with an illuminating finish.  Also it much lower maintenance than other burgundy lipsticks which often sink into lip lines.
