Now, I know that I haven’t been in the makeup game for very long (still under a year!) But I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a Limited Edition lipstick being repromoted so close to its original release! You might remember Watch Me Simmer from MAC Shop MAC, Cook MAC. But you’ll probably remember it from the more recent, Reel Sexy collection. It sold out pretty quickly both times, but I was lucky enough to snag it with my Reel Sexy lipstick (thank you Nordstroms~) So the question is, of course, was it worth the frequent window refreshing?

Oh. And stick tuned till the end, there’s a possible Dupe in it for you!

I think the hardest part of my 3 month no-buy (which, if you haven’t guessed ended as of the first of April) was the lack of MAC lipstick purchases. In fact, the last MAC lipstick I reviewed was way back at the end of September!! Bwaaa! Let’s jump right in shall we? Here’s the LE Amplified Finish lipstick released as part of the Reel Sexy collection…aptly named, Reel Sexy.

A little while ago, I hauled some ELF stuff. The purpose of the haul was primarily getting a few cheap brushes replaced (and trying some new ones) but as a last minute addition I threw in two actual makeup pieces. This was the first.
