Here's one of MAC's best selling shade. I read famous celebrities like Anne Curtis, Heart Evangelista, Ruffa Gutierrez and Kriz Aquino have this in their kikay kits.
MAC Lipstick in Pink Nouveau (Satin) - Php 970.00It is described as a Bright Pink on MAC's site
LA Colors Moisture Lipstick in Pink Parfait - Php 60.00
PACKAGING :
I love the sturdy black bullet case of MAC's lipsticks.
LA Colors has a clear "cheap" plastic cap that easily cracks.

I included other pink lipsticks for comparison.Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Mauve
LA Colors Moisture Lipstick in Pink Parfait
MAC Lipstick in Pink Nouveau
NYX round lipstick in Fig
Pink Parfait is a blue based pink while Pink Nouveau looks a purplish pink in the tube, but goes bright pink when applied. Fig is a warm medium pink while Mauve has a purple undertone but not bright when applied - its a very pretty MLBB shade on me.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
I love Pink Nouveau but if you're looking for something cheaper Pink Parfait is an alternative. Plus I really love the glossy texture of LA Colors lipsticks, its very moisturing!
Till next time,
