New Baby! MAC's Paramount Satin Lipstick!

MAC's recycling program is golden. For those of you who aren't familiar with the program, if you bring in 6 products made of glass or plastic, you get a free lipstick—at one of the normal MAC stores, like the ones attached to the Bay— or you can get either a free lipstick, eyeshadow, or lipgloss if you bring 6 items into a MAC PRO store, which are their stand alone stores. I'm only interested in getting lipsticks so I just go to one of the normal MAC stores because they're closer to me and serve my purposes. There, now you're all on the same page about the program! 

Anyways, I had six old/empty products I didn't want anymore: a hot pink cremesheen lipgloss, a pink dazzleglass lipgloss, one of their very old lip tints, a peachy blush from one of last year's collections, my old in Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash mascara, and the 4 eyeshadow mini Betty palette from the Archie collection a few years back. In return for those six products, I walked away with the satin finish lipstick, Paramount.

My favorite MAC artist, Stephanie, had me try it on and we both loved it on me and now I'm a proud owner of Paramount! I own a lot of purple/red/pink lipsticks and this is my first brown one and I really like it! I didn't think I could pull off wearing brown on my lips, but boy did this lipstick prove me wrong. 

Paramount will look stunning just on it's own with a natural face, eyes, and brows. If you want to play it up a bit on a night out or what not, I'd suggest a lip pencil than can darken it up a bit and make it more sharp and then pair it with big lashes and a simple, classy cat eye. 

I can't wait to wear it!
