Fashion Trends are always cyclical ! I am sure most of you would accept this fact because the trends that were active few years back are coming into picture again like Velvet blouses, crop tops and so many more.But some trends will never leave the fashion industry like the Red lipstick and the vampy fall burgundy lipstick.
I have a few reds in my collection but always wanted a Burgundy shade and I searched the Internet for some suggestions.Girls, but do not go by the suggestions based on Instagram as most of them would have used some filter to edit the pictures and the color would turn up totally different. So lets find out if one such Instagram based Instantaneous buy turned out Disastrous or Successful.
So the lipstick that I bought was DIVA by MAC and I have a review of it for you:

What MAC claims ?
For those who prefer timeless glamour rather than all-out flash, the sophisticated allure of matte reigns supreme. Now, M∙A∙C expands its offering of this classic suede-like finish with 12 new shades of Matte and Retro Matte Lipstick. These lipsticks promise a pop of color that will linger on your lips with impressive staying power.

How I felt about MAC DIVA ?
MAC DIVA really makes you feel like a DIVA and I instantly fell in love with the shade as well as the texture of it.
The lipsticks comes in the typical MAC's black casing which is really compact to carry it around. MAC lipsticks are a little difficult to identify when you have lots of them, because all of them come in the black casing.

The shade DIVA is a deep ruby / burgundy color which would not suit all Indian skin tones but it will suit all the skin tones from medium to fair. The shade is just ideal for Fall season and it is better to go with a simple eye makeup when you want to sport this shade.

| MAC DIVA - ideal for FALL |
The texture of the lipstick is matte , but it feels so light on the lips that I feel so comfortable wearing a matte lipstick. My lips are generally dry but I did not feel any discomfort while wearing this lipstick. There was no need for any exfoliation too , but the only difficulty was during application. The matte texture makes it a little difficult to run it over the lips and apply it uniformly.The lipstick feels like a second skin and does not bother us in spite of being matte.
The MAC DIVA stays there on the lips like magic even after about 6 to 7 hours , even with lots of munching in between. It leaves behind a plum sort of a tint which is so beautiful.It does transfer on to cups if you drink something, 0but the staying power is so good that I do not have to worry about that.
I highly recommend this shade for the Fall Season.
