Three vivid Lip Pencils were released with the Iris Apfel Collection – Entertain Me, Embrace Me, and Redd. Redd is a permanent shade within the MAC line, so you may have seen it before, but Entertain Me and Embrace Me are newly launched as well as Limited Edition.
What the MAC Website has to say about Lip Pencils:
A pencil designed for shaping, lining or filling in the lip. Lip Pencils have a smooth, creamy texture that is perfect for lining the lips or filling them in. They are long-lasting and available in a wide selection of colours that each work well with many different lipstick shades. 1.45 g / 0.05 US oz
Embrace Me (vivid pinkish fuchsia) is an extremely bold hot neon that is not for the faint of heart. Lip Pencils can be rather dry, but the sharp point makes for easier application. This shade would coordinate best with Pink Pigeon Lipstick, also from Iris Apfel.
MAC Lip Pencils retail for $14.00 each. Embrace Me is Limited Edition to the Iris Apfel for MAC Collection. This collection is available at maccosmetics.com, and MAC Stores. Click to view the official press release.
I didn’t buy any of the lip pencils but I bought three lipstick from this collection. All three lipsticks (Pink Pigon/Party Parrot/Scarlet Ibis) comes out a little chalky on me for some reason. I do prefer Amplified finishes over Mattes so I don’t know how much wear i’ll get out of these even though I like the colors.
I ended up with Scarlet Ibis and Flamingo, the post on Scarlet will go up tomorrow probably. It’s a bold one, that’s for sure!
