‘Flair For Finery' is one of the five new shades in MAC's Divine Night Holiday Collection. It is described as a cool/pink nude with a Lustre finish. Even though I have more than enough nude lipsticks, I just couldn't help myself from picking up ‘Flair For Finery' especially being that it's a limited edition shade!
The Divine Night Lipsticks have a new gold detailing, rather than the classic silver – and I must say I am obsessed with the packaging just as much as the colors themselves.

Below I am wearing MAC's ‘Flair For Finery' over a thin layer of foundation that I lightly swept across my lips. This color came out much better on my lips with a foundation base (you can also use a lip liner base), since it is semi transparent. As I've mentioned before, I have more pigmented lips so with shades like this, I always line my lips first so that the color comes out more vibrant and also lasts longer.
- MAC Flair for Finery is a neutral-toned, light pink with a luminous finish. It is a limited edition lipstick that retails for $20.00 and contains 0.1 oz.

Because of the versatility of nude lipsticks, you can rock this shade with smokey eyes or even with a natural look. I have been slowly getting away from the black eyeliner and using more browns and metallics, which I'm wearing below. I lined my eyes with a darker brown shimmer eyeshadow and lots of mascara! I also used CoverGirl's Smoothers illuminating concealer along with MAC's Sculpting Powder to contour my face.

MAC's ‘Instigator' lipstick was part of the Punk Couture collection released in December of 2013. The collection featured four daring lipstick shades in ‘Punk Couture,' ‘Studded Kiss,' ‘Hautecore,' and ‘Instigator.'
‘Instigator' is described as a Deep Blacked Plum with a retro matte finish. I have tried numerous plum lipsticks and have found that ones with blue undertones suit my skin tone better – which is why I love ‘Instigator' so much! The bluer undertones give it that real plum color, and ones with red undertones tend to look more oxblood.
I thought ‘Instigator' went on very well and seemed to make my lips darker as I continued applying. It lasted a long time on my lips and didn't smear as easily as others do – most likely due to it's matte finish.

Unfortunately, ‘Instigator' is a limited edition shade so the only place that may have it is Ebay, where resellers double and triple the price of these sold out colors. MAC carries tons of other great plum colors though, and you can visit my Lipstick Guide for some great plum lipstick alternatives.

Tips on perfecting the plum lip:
- Always exfoliate your lips first (try a sugar scrub)
- Use a lip conditioner (MAC has a great one!)
- Use a lip pencil to line your lips first
- Use a lip brush to apply the lipstick for an even finish
- Pair it with a brown smokey eye or black winged liner
Availability
MAC Instigator can be bought at AMAZON or NORDSTROM.
