MAC Lipstick - Brick-O-La Review & Swatches



MAC describes the color as Mid-tone berry.

My Thoughts:

I adore this lipstick ... 
This is Love...

It is an Amplified finish by MAC which means it is creamy, moisturizing, glides smoothly and gives opaque finish with a soft sheen.




Brick-O-La was my first ever lipstick from MAC. Now, this is a constant repurchase for me. I am about to finish my third tube.

It is a beautiful berry color with some very slight peachy brick undertones. Its not berry alone as it does lean towards brick infused muted peachy hues ... a true berry brick color. Mixture of these three makes this gorgeous color we call Brick-O-La.





This color will suit all skin tones. I am NC40 and I find it very flattering for my skin tone. It is indeed my most reached and go to lipstick for both days and nights.

It lasts for decent 3-4 hours without touch ups.

If you are a MAC Lipstick virgin, planning to buy but get confused on taking the plunge... I will highly recommend Brick-O-La as your first MAC Lipstick. Trust me you will not regret.

Things I like...
  • The beautiful color and finish for my complexion.
  • Sturdy black bullet MAC lipstick packaging.
  • Vanilla-Choco scent.
  • Fool proof ... you do not even need a mirror for touchups :)
  • It is a permanent color. 
  • It will suit all skin tones and complexions. 
     
Things I do not like...
  • There is nothing to dislike about Brick-O-La ... its Perfect.

My Ratings...
5/5

MAC Lipsticks retail for $16 in USA. The prices completely vary in different countries and shops as per locations.


In Pakistan, these are usually sold from PKR2800-3200 in different stores which is quite expensive.

I have been purchasing MAC products on my trips abroad until i came across a facebook page called MAC Addict. They sell genuine MAC Lipsticks for PKR2100 which is amazing. They have best prices. 


I have done two purchases from them and guess what .. this time I have ordered 4 Brick-O-La lipsticks this time as an EID gift to my Mom and sisters... 




Is this not delicious ... what else can be better for EIDI ;)
