Hello girls !

In October I had a chance in Zagreb to get myself another MAC product. I own a few products, however immediately I decided on a lippie. I've got only the shades: Twig, which is a darker brown and Up The Amp, which is a purple color, so I wanted something that I could wear every day. The girl at the store helped me "nada", my internet wasn't working aka being in foreign country, so I took a challenge by myself. After trying several lip colors without looking at the names, I picked the Faux shade, which at the end I realized that it's quite popular. Ok, enough about that, let me just introduce you to my knew addition.

Živjo dekleta !
Čeprav lahko o tem določenem odtenku zasledite različne objave, sem se vseeno odločila, da delim tudi moje veselje z vami. Oktobra sem imela priložnost pridobiti še en MAC izdelek, saj sem se ravno nahajala v Zagrebu. Ko se odločaš samo za en izdelek je res težko, ampak MAC šmink nikoli ni preveč saj me še niso razočarale. Pred tem sem imela že eno leto v lasti odtenka: Twig (temno rjav odtenek) ter Up The Amp (vijoličen odtenek z roza podtonom), zato sem se odločila za nekaj vsakodnevnega. V trgovini sem imela probleme s komunikacijo z delavko, ker se preprosto nisva razumeli in se tudi ona ni trudila. Tudi interneta nisem imela, tako da sem se pač odločila sprejeti izziv. Po preizkušanju na ustnicah sem se naključno odločila za odtenek Faux, za katerega sem kasneje ugotovila da je precej popularen. Torej, kar naprej k objavi...

Faux is a natural, beigy-pink shade. Satin finish makes it a bit more creamy and easy to wear and apply. Pigmentation again is great and in comparison to Twig, which is also a Sating finish, Faux is quite creamier, at least to me. It dries on my lips just a bit, however my lips are prone to dry out quicker. On me this shade is nicely longlasting even when I eat. I would say that when I came home I was a bit dissapointed because it looked so dark in the tube and not that light in comparison to Twig, however it's a totally different story when applied on the lips. It would definitely suit a lot of people and it's a great nude shade.

Odtenek Faux je naraven "nude" oz. bež z roza podtonom. Ni najsvetlejša "nude" šminka, ampak še vedno super za vsakodnevno nošenje. Izgled šminke naj bi bil satin: kar je med mat ter sijočo oziroma kremasto šminko, vendar je izredno prijetna za nošenje. Pigmentacija MAC šmink je odlična in se mi v primerjavi z Twig šminko, katera je tudi "satin", zdi celo bolj kremasta. Po nekaj časa nošenja, se šminka malce posuši, vendar imam običajno tako ali tako probleme, da so moje ustnice hitro suhe. Obstojnost je meni osebno odlična, saj se na ustnicah obdrži tudi včasih, ko jem. Menim, da je odličen odtenek za več različnih polti kože.

I would say that maybe you won't need this shade because it has quite a few dupes, which you can also see on Sara's blog - Passing Fancy (<- click)

I also compared it to Essence Cool Nude, which I own and it's the cheapest dupe you can probably find. Though I still think that on the lips, the shade is quite different. Of course I prefer the formula of MAC lipstick since it's more long lasting.

Ta odtenek ima kar nekaj "dvojnikov", kar si lahko ogledate tudi na Sarinem blogu - Passing Fancy (<- click)

Tudi sama sem ga primerjala z Essence Cool Nude, kateri je najbolj poceni dvojnik, ki ga boste verjetno našle. Pa vendar, MAC ima res dobro obstojnost šmink, zato jih z veseljem nosim. Morda doda tudi dodatno vrednost večja cena, saj potem res ceniš tiste posebno izbrane izdelke, ki si jih ne privoščiš vsak dan.
