It comes packaged like your average Colourpop lip product, in its slim white tube. Also, if you’ve tried MAC’s Retro Matte formula before (think ‘Ruby Woo’), this will be a piece of cake. Some of you may find its dry texture difficult, so, it’s always nice to prep with a good lip-balm. Wear it alone or pair it with a smokey-eye. ‘Ice Cube’ is a fresh, blue-toned pink that brightens up the complexion. It’s so exciting, I can’t explain it to you!~ I feel like a kindergartener, all of a sudden. When you blot your lips after applying a bright lip-colour, the saturation and impact lessens, right?

THE BACKSTORY: I call this the “Lip Product of my Dreams” because it’s everything I want in a lipstick. That being said, I’m not going to re-shoot simply because… I’m too lazy.
