Impassioned is an amplified finish lipstick that I purchased in duty free way back in July after being a long term lust, and is now well on it's way to being my most worn lipstick ever, coming close to overtaking previous favourite: Vegas Volt.
The amplified finish of the lipstick means that it has a creamy and glossy application on the lips, but with a powerful pigmentation that lasts for hours, and even after the initial colour has worn away, a gentle raspberry stain is still left behind on the lips. Only one swipe of colour is required for an opaque finish and it glides over the lips effortlessly leaving a bright colour with a subtle shine. It does have a tendancy to show up any dry patches on the lips so I make sure to give them a quick exfoliate and coat of balm before applying Impassioned, but then I'm more or less set for the rest of the day with just a quick touch up here or there.
The shade is a pinky-red colour and I find it to be the perfect balance of pink and red and very flattering on my pale skin. It can accompany a bold eye make up look to go all out, or can be paired with a very neutral look and be the statement feature of your make up. I'm currently sitting here in my scruffy hoodie, with my hair unbrushed and not even a flick of mascara on, but a splash of Impassioned over my lips (especially for these photos) and I now feel like I could take on the world.
It gives a bold pink hue to the lips that totally transforms the face but isn't too overpowering and isn't too dramatic to be inappropriate for certain situations. This can be used as a fun colour for a night out look, but can also be worn day to day as well as in a professional environment. This is a very versatile and wearable shade considering how bright it first seems.

Delete£15?! What a joke, I love mac lipsticks but that's ridiculous! Love this colour though it reminds me of chatterbox X
ReplyDeleteI know, crazy isn't it!! I'll only get them now if Debenhams has 10% off otherwise it would hurt too much :( Yes they are similar, Chatterbox is on my wishlist! :) xxx
DeleteI absolutely love Impassioned! Such a lovely shade and great for pale skinned girls like us!

Deletei think it looks great on your skin tone. i would personally like a neutral makeup with it.
ReplyDeleteAw thank you! :) Yeah, I usually wear it on a casual day with just mascara - easy to keep it simple with this! xxx
DeleteImpassioned is definitely on the list for my next purchase! Luckily I can get a really good discount with MAC, otherwise I'd never buy anything! £15 is ridiculous!

Oooh lucky you with discount! :( I'll only get things now if I'm at duty free or Debenhams has 10% off ..not worth it otherwise :( xxx
DeleteThis is such a lovely shade! It has been on my wishlist for ages!

I agree! It'd been on my wishlist for YEARS! I say take the plunge and get it! :) xxx
DeleteCompletely agree with you on the price of Mac lipsticks. I love them but I always have second thoughts. That said I'm off on holiday next month and will certainly be attacking the duty free counter, even if there's only a little off the price it'll justify the purchases!
