Back to MAC

MAC, the cosmetic company, have a brilliant ‘green’ policy called ‘Back to MAC‘ whereby they give you a free lipstick when you return six empty MAC containers.

I LOVE MAC.

After about three years of trying to save up enough empty containers to claim my free lipstick, and often forgetting and chucking them, I finally had six. So on my lunch hour on Monday, off I popped to the MAC shop and picked my free lippy!

My free MAC lipsticks: ‘Modest’ and ‘See Sheer’

This is a big step for me. I’ve always thought of lipstick as a thing that mums wear. I’ve always been a lip gloss wearer, it feels young and funky and it doesn’t make such a bold statement on your face like lipstick does. But now that I’m getting on a bit (I’m 27) it’s time to take the leap and upgrade to lipstick. So after some help from the MAC assistant (my friend Kerry) I left the shop with not one, but two lipsticks. A safe colour called ‘Modest’ and one a little bit crazier called ‘See Sheer’.

Now I just have to learn how to apply it in a way that doesn’t look like I did it with my eyes shut!
