REVIEW! | MAC Veronica Lipstick in Boyfriend Stealer {Archie's Girls Collection}

MAC Veronica Lipstick in Boyfriend Stealer is described as a "deep blackened plum".  On me, it's a moderately sheered out plummy purple.

I couldn't get Boyfriend Stealer to apply evenly.  It didn't seem to matter how many layers I swiped on, it remained a little patchy and emphasized the lines in my lips.  The Cremesheen formula was comfortable to wear; it's almost like a gel color and it didn't dry out my lips.  The downside was the coverage; I couldn't build it up to any kind of opacity and it slid around a bit.

I normally prefer sheer lip colors, but this one caught my eye.  Unfortunately, it's uneven coverage and slippery, shape-shifter consistency made it difficult to wear.

It's sold out on the MAC site, but you may be able to find it at your local MAC counter or by scouring the internets (eBay, Amazon, etc.) if it's a must-have shade for you.

My Rating: C
Cost: $16.50
Where to buy: MAC (find your nearest MAC counter on the site to see if they still have this lipstick in stock!)

  3. Too bad about the patchy, because this would have been such a great vampy shade!
