MAC x Toledo Collection Spring 2015 Lipsticks in Oxblood and Sin!
Isabel and Ruben Toledo lend their vibrant eye for fashion and art to a collection of irreverent colour designed to inspire endless play. -MAC Website
I admit that I am a sucker for packaging! When MAC Cosmetics released this limited edition Isabel and Ruben Toledo Collection, I knew I have to get them, especially the lipsticks! Lo and behold, carefreeshopper sold it before the collection hits Manila, Philippines, so I got two shades of lipsticks. (FYI, a lot of stocks are left at carefreeshopper, as of today!)
I haven’t worn them for a full day, but if you are familiar with MAC’s matte lipsticks, then you know the drift. Let’s now take a closer look!
I can’t say enough praises about the design of the lipsticks. It is so beautiful! While I like the velvet-y texture, it will definitely be a dirt magnet as time passes by.
The two shades that I bought were Oxblood and Sin. Both have matte finishes and Sin is a permanent shade so this won’t run out!
Oxblood is a light peachy nude shade. I wonder why it was named like that because blood is definitely not peach! LOLs. For my medium skin, it made me look pale, to be honest. I would have to pair this with a darker lip liner to make it work. Regardless, I am glad to have this shade on my collection.
Sin is a deep blood-red with a matte finish. This shade was on my wishlist! I didn’t think twice of getting this shade in a cute packaging! Though it is matte, it dragged my lips like a retro matte. The texture is drier but the pigmentation is opaque and lasts long. I am definitely in love with this shade! *happy dance!*
This collection launched last March 13, 2015 here in the Philippines. Grab some shades if you can! Limited edition lipsticks cost Php 1,100 here. (Correct me if I’m wrong!) 🙂
That’s all for today’s post. I am so busy this week. Hopefully, I’ll have more time to post about different topics aside from lipsticks! I hope I don’t bore you that much.
Until my next post!

Those shades you got were equally pretty! Since I do have lots of reds already, I passed up on the red shades. The packaging is really gorgeous, right? 🙂
Yette

Juvy
Wearing Sin + Happy Skin Style Icon. Sin is too vampy pala kaya I mixed the shades. Hihi… 🙂

I went to MAC Eastwood yesterday to get the Sin shade but they were out of stocks na :(((((( Huhuhuhuh. I really want to get the Sin!!! :(((
Juvy
Meron pa sa SM north ng Sin! Maybe you can drop by. I went there today!
Victoria
Ahhhhh! I swatched Sin in store and oh my god, it is supeeeer gorgeous! I’ve had the shade on my wishlist for a really long time but don’t know why I have not purchased it just yet. I love the packaging of this too! Sana may maabutan pa ko pag nagdecide na kong bilhin haha
Juvy
Buy na! If not this packaging, pwede pa rin yung regular pero sayang, ang cute nito. Hehehe.
Glenda
One of the stylish packaging released by MAC so far. <3
I like when I read a blog for swatches. ^_^ for reference purposes 😀

Just looking at the pictures, I thought the darker one was Oxblood. :)) Sin looks beautiful on you, Juvy. I have to agree that the packaging is a winner. It stands out from far away. I was in the mall yesterday, and I couldn’t help but visit MAC when I caught sight of the Toledo collection. Didn’t get anything, though. Galing lang ako sa Beauty Bar to go back for more Burt’s Bees on sale, so medyo guilt-ridden pa ako.
shayne
actually your lipstick posts are one of my faves 🙂
im embarassed to admit that im a little scared of the packaging but i love sin on you and i feel like itll look nice on me too <3
Juvy
Thank you, Shayne! If you have extra money, go get Sin! It’s a very beautiful shade! 🙂
Helga Weber
I have Sin but I want this packaging! Parang I wanna swatch Oxblood because I need a daily lipstick that isn’t Angel, Honey Love or Ofra Laguna Beach haha (which are essentially the same).
Juvy
Hi Helga! 🙂 You can probably get Sin in this packaging! Medyo mahirap na ata mahanap yung Oxblood shade eh. Sana mahanap mo thru online sellers!
Celerhina Aubrey
Saw this Mac x Toledo collection and I’m eyeing the nude pinkish one. Gandaaaa!
Juvy
Hope you can buy it ASAP because it is sold out almost anywhere and it is very in-demand!

PACKAGING!!! <3 wala pa akong anything limited edition from MAC, huhu. But that Oxblood shade is pretty! Kala ko it will be a deep red of some sorts kasi oxblood nga diba =)) I didn't get the memo na peach pala ang oxblood lol but anyway, too pretty. I might just grab one for myself!
Shari

Juvy
