MY 2 CENTS
This is the other product I bought from the Marilyn Monroe for MAC collection. You can read my review on the Legendary Blush here.

MAC describes Charmed I’m Sure as a “dark, true red”, I beg to differ.
Charmed I’m Sure is a matte red but it’s not dark, nor do I find it to be a true red. On my lips, it’s a red that leans a little pink.

It is slightly drying because of it’s matte formula but with a lip balm underneath, it sits on my lips comfortable for about 6 hours. Because it’s matte, the color fades minimally through the day. Rather than reapplying the lipstick, I just apply a balm over top to make it more comfortable to wear.

The  packaging is different than your average MAC lipstick tube. It’s a glossy black that’s lightweight but feels kind of cheap. But, just like the rest of this collection, the graphics on the lipstick tube is not a sticker which makes this a great limited edition piece to add to my lipstick collection!

In Short…

  • Charmed I’m Sure is a matte red that leans a little pink
  • It is slightly drying but sits comfortably for 6 hrs, longer with a balm
  • Does not need to be reapplied regularly

    I went to there launch party – I got Pure Zen – a nice nude colour. I haven’t used mac in years & this lipstick will make enough to get a free lipstick once I finish.

    Yes.. thats how long I haven’t been. Once they sold the company.. I really didn;t like the changes they made in which the lipsticks are boring colours now. Back in the day they had the best colours around. I now shop around with different companies that have cool colours.
