I’m low-key crazy for coral all year long, but now that it’s summer, I let my freak flag fly and my full-on coral craziness is unleashed!
If it were socially acceptable…I might even wear all five of my favorite MAC coral lipsticks on my face AT THE SAME TIME.
Flamingo, Costa Chic, Coral Bliss, Vegas Volt and Pretty Boy are all found in the MAC permanent line, so they’re always there whenever you need them, which is comforting to me…like a makeup security blanket.
I rotate among them during summer.
If you see a couple you like, jump on them now, because MAC is having a special lipstick promotion where you get a free lipstick if you buy any two lip products. The free lipstick has to be one of six specific shades (Breathing Fire, Lust, Lured In, Pressed & Ready, Barbeque and Invite Intrigue), though, so you can’t go picking any old free lipsticks willy-nilly. But the selections are lovely.
The promo lasts through June 25th, both at MAC stores and the website.
1. Flamingo
2. Pretty Boy
3. Costa Chic
4. Coral Bliss
5. Vegas Volt
What are your MAC must-have summer corals?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Gorgeous, Karen! My tube of Coral Bliss has been hibernating in my makeup drawer, waiting for summer weather. I think I’ll take her out this weekend!
P.S. Hope you’re staying cool in the Cali heatwave!
Hi Jacklyn!
Oh gosh, it’s been soooo hot here in the North Bay Area. Yesterday the baby and I had to escape down to Southern Marin to catch some sea breezes.
Coral Bliss is such a great shade. You definitely need to take her out and play!
What are you up to this weekend?
I’ll be going out for dinner with some of my BFFs. Fingers crossed for patio seating! It’s *finally* summer here in Vancouver…gotta enjoy the sun as much as possible.
Say hi to Connor and Tabs for me 🙂
Hi Karen,
Myrna from Hawaii!! thanks for the shout out the other day. =) I just had to laugh because I searched your previous recs for corals, and most of your lovely 2015 recs have been reformulated/more like discontinued. **sob** so funny how quick the makeup industry turnover is these days.
Uh, Pretty Boy is very pretty indeed. I need to go grab my corals. So far this summer has seen me in orange reds more than in everything else. Or in bright fuchsia.
Costa Chic is calling my name ? Think i just might let that freak flag fly and get at least 3! You rock that look too, but I don’t the think the outside world would get it sadly lol Enjoy your weekend!
Yes to all the corals! I love Vegas Volt andCrosswires from the permanent collection. Most of my favorites are LE: La Vie En Rouge, Toxic Tale, Make Me Gorgeous, and Saucy Little Darling.
LOVE Corals in the summer and because of your two coral posts, I HAD to place a second MAC order! FWP 😀
My most loved MAC corals are more on the red-coral side or just brighter shades like the long discontinued Eager or limited editions like Toxic Tale and Viva Glam Cyndi. My most favorite would probably be Cockney (sheer red coral), Dozen Carnations, Sweet Sakura and the Mineralize lipstick in Lady at Play.
