So having heard so much about this collection I was eager to get my hands on some of these matte lipsticks! When the collection came out on the 8th of August, I was straight onto MAC's website to order a few. Although I am deeply in love with MAC Whirl lipliner I opted to go for some darker shades with the weather starting to feel like autumn here in the UK! I ended up ordering three of the shades from the collection and eagerly waited at my letter box for them to arrive!

The two shades I was most excited about were Instigator and Matte Royal. Instigator is an amazing deep smoky purple shade but is not an easy one to wear, you can't expect to line your lips and put it straight on, you have to prep your lips for this colour. To do this I use Lush Mint Julips and apply a lip balm before starting my makeup so I know I will have soft/smooth lips when I come to applying this particular shade of lipstick. Matte Royal was a little disheartening for me, having seen so many of the make-up artists that I follow on instagram wearing this shade I expected it to be a lot more of a navy royal blue, however the shade is beautiful none the less! Again I would suggest prepping the lips before for a smoother application. D for Danger is an absolutely gorgeous colour, although I do think if you already own Viva Glam I, then I would give D for Danger a miss!
