Hey lovelies,
Why hello there! What's this? I'm posting a permanent, readily accessible MAC product? What madness is this?
Yes, it's true - today I'll be sharing swatches & a review of Pink Plaid lipstick with you, and unlike the denizens of MAC Monday, this shade is available permanently at any MAC counter. This cool pink rose is a very popular shade among MAC fans and with its fabulous colour pay off it's easy to see why!
Pink Plaid is described as a 'dirty blue-pink' by MAC and it has a Matte finish. I think their colour description is pretty accurate, the dirtiness of the shade lends it a neutral quality so that you can pair it with just about anything. While cool toned pinks aren't always my favourite, I really like this.
Texture-wise, Pink Plaid is MAC's matte formula at its best. It has just enough creaminess to glide over lips without pulling or tugging and although it will pick up flaws, it's not as blatantly unforgiving as some matte formulas. I get bang on four hours wear from Pink Plaid without it drying out my lips or migrating. MAC lipsticks have a vanilla scent.
What I liked:
- Great colour pay off
- Wears for four hours
- Vanilla scent
- Non drying
- Nothing!
- MAC Cosmetics
- Specktra.net Clearance Bin
- Ebay
- Facebook sales groups
- Glambot
- Amazon
- Storenvy
- Trade Me
What do you think of Pink Plaid? Have you tried this classic MAC lipstick?

My makeup obsession has been in full swing lately, so your blog is a dangerous place for me haha! This is such a lovely shade!
ReplyDeleteHaha, sorry Dana! You know, that would be much more legal (via our postage system) to swap than nail polish :D
ReplyDeleteThat is a really beautiful shade of pink!! Need to find a cruelty-free dupe for it I think! P.s You're lips are an amazing shape!! (Hope that doesn't sound too weird) ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks Sarah-Elizabeth! Here are the closest cruelty free matches I could find in my collection; no dupes sorry - they all lean on the lavender side - but perhaps one may be close enough for your tastes :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous color Lani, love your lips swatch ^^ Pretty sure I have this in my collection, if not I am adding it to my next to purchase list x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kay! You definitely need it if you don't already have it!
