Initially I planned on maybe buying one of the Ombre Blushes from the MAC x Proenza Schouler collection, but here we are and I am now sharing with you the third product I picked up from this line. I caved and bought the Mangrove Lipstick over the weekend when I was shopping with my friend. I tried the lipstick on in-store and ended up liking it more than I thought I would so I ended up buying it! I had a MAC gift card from Christmas too that I hadn't used (because my regular MAC counter is in a The Bay store and they wouldn't accept the gift card there), so I ended up only having to pay under $5 of my own money for this lipstick which was great!

Mangrove is a matte bright orange-red lipstick. I usually go for cool blue-based red lipsticks, so I was surprised to like this warm red so much! The formula is wonderful and applies smoothly and very opaque. It stays on my lips for around 5 hours before needing slight touch ups which was great! It is slightly drying but that's to be expected with most matte lipsticks and I didn't mind since the colour was staying on so well! This is definitely going to be my go-to red lipstick for this summer!
