Speed Up

MAC Speed Up Vamplify Lipgloss ($20.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is described as a "bubblegum pink." It's a light-medium pink with cool, blue undertones and a creamy, glossy finish. It had good pigmentation, though it wasn't fully opaque, that applied evenly but had a tendency to emphasize lip lines. I noticed some of the gloss settled more noticeably as it wore on (after about two hours), but it wasn't the worst I've seen--probably one of the better-wearing and -looking light pinks from MAC in gloss-form in awhile. This shade wore well for four hours on me and was lightly hydrating. MAC Carousel (LE, $21.00) is more shimmery (95% similar). MAC Patentpink (P, $20.00) is lighter (95% similar).
