Guess what arrived in the mail yesterday?! None other than Lavender
Jade from the Mac Bao Bao Wan Collection! In my last post about this collection,
I mentioned how I ordered the Lavender Jade and my order was cancelled, well
Nordstrom was amazing and shipped out my lipstick and got it delivered in a
day! Talk about being impressed!

When my order first got cancelled, I tried to not let it get
me down and I thought I wouldn't wear the color very often. After seeing
hundreds of pictures of this now famous-hard-to-get lipstick all over my social
media, I wanted it even more and was starting to get sad my order was
cancelled. So, when my order finally went through my excitement was threw the
roof! I was so nervous the entire time from getting the shipped email until the
lipstick was at my door. I thought that they made a mistake sending it to me
and either there would be no lipstick in the box or the wrong color. I
waited all day yesterday for the mailman and late in the afternoon my amazing
husband comes home with a bag full of makeup goodies that he just picked up at
the store for me! While going through my bag full of new goodies and looking at
all of the new nail polishes and lip-glosses
he just bought me, I then came to the very end of the bag and he snuck in my
Lavender Jade! What a sneaky guy! I was so excited I literally screamed and
opened it right up and gave him a huge hug!
This lipstick is like no other color that I own, I own
several different purples but this is so unique. It is a purple but with pink
undertones and in a matte formula. This lipstick retails for $17.50, but I have
seen it for $40-$80 off places like Amazon and Ebay. I can imagine the price
will keep rising. I paired this lipstick
with a pinkish-purple lip liner from Essence in the color Mauve and put a Nyx
Butter Lipgloss in Merenque over it. It made my lips the most beautiful baby pinky
purple shade! I am sure mixing a few other lippies with this Lavender Jade, you
can come up with a ton of looks. This lipstick alone is gorgeous. Below you will find my swatch, this is unedited and in natural sunlight. Lavender Jade is
very wearable and I feel suitable for all skin tones. I also added Romantic Breakdown from my previous purchase, so you could see the two swatches side by side.

This lipstick, like most Mac lipsticks for me, is long
wearing and feels good on my lips. It is not chalky and the smell is amazing! I
am really happy with both of my purchases from the Mac Bao Bao Wan Collection
and now my Romantic Breakdown is complete with Lavender Jade! Did any of you
get anything from this collection? I would love for you to share with me what
your thoughts are and what you got! I am excited for Mac Is Beauty set to
release March 26th online. Is anyone planning on picking up anything
from that collection? Don't forget to follow me on IG @adrienneroyale!
