MAC Vamplify Swatches on Medium Brown Skin *Re-Release*

MAC Cosmetics reintroduced their Vamplify lipglosses and this time I wasn’t missing out on them.

Vamplify was reintroduced with 22 shades, some of which are re-promotes and seven are new.  [ad name=”In Content Responsive Ad”] Wearability: MAC Vamplify is basically lipgloss with seriously boosted color. They aren’t as tacky as the Make Up For Ever Plexigloss, but they have pretty good staying power. Pigmentation varied between the glosses and I found…
