MAC lipstick

Definitely not a big fan of lipstick or lipgloss.. it's just too oily for me and besides I eat a lot so whatever I am applying on my lips will definitely not last.

But because I will try to sport a smokey eye look I therefore need a nude or pale lipstick. So in my search for a good one, I tried going to the MAC shop.

And while checking out their lipstick collections I realized that if I really want to apply lipstick sans the oiliness I should go for the MATTE finish. I tried few of their nude shades but it doesn't look good on me.. maybe because of the lighting (again!? Same problem with SASA) or my skin color! I don' know.......

After approximately 10 minutes, an SA (salesassociate) approached me.. yeah honestly I'm really not their biggest fan.. I always have this notion that they are just there to hard sell and not really help as in sincerely help. hahaha! Anyway, she offered to help me and I reluctantly told her that I am looking for a Nude shade of lipstick. Well EXPECTEDLY she gave me the same shades I was looking at before she came.

She, however, suggested another color, I tried it on and surprisingly I liked the look of it.. although I forgot to consider that it's more on the glossy side than the matte side...:( Sad to say there's nothing much I can do except to love it!:)
