Definitely my #1 lipstick!! It's beautiful!! It's an opaque pastel pink and since it has a lilac/bluish tone, it can be very bold! It's really surprising as many other pastel pink I have tried looked very natural and just didn't stand out so I wasn't expecting much of this but when it came in the mail and I tried it on I was so surprised by it! I love it so much! It lasts all day and stays bright and pretty even after I eat. It's definitely my HG pink lippie! I have a fair complexion with yellow undertones and this definitely doesn't wash me out, in person it looks more pink. I'm the one in the pics with the black hair and false lashes. I like this one more compared to Candy Yum Yum because I feel as though Candy Yum Yum makes me look quite pale sometimes. I get tons of compliments with this one on! Although some people I know have bought it with more peachy complexions and it looked slightly more lilac on them but still super cute!

I swatched this on my hand & instantly fell in love! I felt crazy once I came home & put it on. Its a VERY pastel, opaque pink. If you do not want to go for the bold Barbie/Nicki look, I do suggest dabbing/tapping this lippie on your lips VERY lightly & smack them together to get an all over even coat, because this color may show every line in your lips.

I find that when I wear this lipstick I have to have a smokey bronze look on my eyes or else I will look washed out if I wear it alone. Like it but not my favorite pink lipstick.

Terrible colour on me! I have light olive skintone and it was definitely a mistake to buy this without trying it on first. I know it works for some, but it was too light on me and looked far too "Barbie"-esque for my taste. It was also slightly lilac and made me look like I had more makeup on than I did (if that makes any sense!). However I would say that it definitely depends on your features and style x

I am extremely pale and I find this colour to be very flattering on me.
I love this ultra girlie, barbie-esque shade and I find it very pigmented. My only problem with this shade is I find it can be very drying when used on it's own. I usually use my Lush lip exfoliator before applying this shade.

This is pornstar pink. I wanted to love this, it looks great on some people but on me it looks like i'm a pornstar with my blond hair. It also shows all the lip imperfections and that's not flattering... Have it in my stash but I would NEVER rebuy this.

This was my first MAC lipstick (a favorite among youtubers, so I gave it a shot).
This is an amplified(creamy/long lasting) bright vivid blue pink, it's like an intense Barbie pink with a great sheen.
It goes on well, blends well and lasts well (use a lip brush or blot well because too much can cause it to become cakey). Dolly Pink lip liner by NYX works great with it and a little powder/concealer around the edges stops feathering and movement.
This is a bright colour but can be toned down by using a small amount. If you like brighter colors go for Saint Germain! I prefer it on porcelain skin and it is great for a standout look.

About me: NW10-15 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW.

This looks horrendous on me. I even tried to wear it as a pink nude while out late at night, but ew. Even a porn star doesn't want to look this ridiculous.

Love the colour but would not pay $37 for it!!
I buy online or get some of my family that live in Miami to send it out.
Super pigmented and amazing scent! Perfect with neutral eyes for a night out. Only negative is that it highlights any imperfections (cracks, dryness, coldsores) on your lips.
So fun and girly, definitely makes a statement! Would buy it again but not in store :)

This is the perfect barbie blue based pink I have always wanted. Unfortunately, no matter how gorgeous it looks in the tube and how pigmented and creamy it is, it is hard as hell to pull off. I'm very pale, with black hair and LOVE light pink lippies and can usually pull off any colour, but this one is almost impossible as it highlights every single crack in your lips ( even when moisturized and not that dry). I can't get myself to swap the tube as it really is a gorgeous colour and for some reason I feel like I need to keep it ( I have worn it maybe once besides playing with makeup). I won't repurchase =(

Like all MAC lipsticks, cheap packaging but in Australia still a ridiculous $37.
Not a fan of this colour, it looks too tacky and "slutty pink". Washes me out completely. Looked better in the tube.

The fomulation is absloutly incredable! Very pigmented and not drying, but I really hate that the colour only works on tanned people. It is the kind of lipstick that takes away the shape of your lips. It also make my skin looks dead.
I am definatly not going to buy it again. I didn't even use it more than 4 times. Regert buying it. Waste of money.
Go for it if you are tanned and loves pale pastel pinks.

Hope I helped! X

Nc 30-35 with strong yellow undertones.

Beautiful :) i swear, most people would say that this color isnt suitable for my skintone but when i tried it on, it looked sooo gorgeous. perfect for a night out, which is the reason i bought it on the first place. its a very cool toned barbie pink but you can just tone it down by little swipes and not full on apply it. it looks great in person but not on camera (weird lilac).

Saint Germain is rocking my world these days!
This is my second ever Barbie pink lipstick.
I am a red lip, vamp lip to fuchsia lip kind of girl.

I wear this with a tough extreme cat eye- winged cat eye from corner of the eye to wayyyy out! Life! The liner I use is UD perversion. Mac ccb in pearl as s highlighter and a dusting of Nars Laguna on my cheeks. Saint Germain brings this look together like a
the bow on top of a holiday gift.
I'm completely thrilled to have added this gem to my collection.

Lovely lipstick, SUPER DUPER pigmented. The color is absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, I could not make it work with my olive skin. It was way too pale and chalky on me. Too Nikki Minaj.

I tried to wear it by patting it on softly I tried to wear it blended with a berry liner, but to no avail. I ended up giving it to my friend who is light skinned with green eyes and it looks awesome on her full lips.

I really enjoy this lipstick. The pigmantation is single handidly AMAZING. The smell is very vanilla and sweet smelling but doesn't linger.Just like any MAC lipstick. This color is VERY blue toned, which I like because it brightens your smile. It compliments my pink toned nw25 skin well. This color is for sure bold and could brighten anyones day.

I think this color looks great even on darker skin you just have to know how to make it work for you using liner etc. It drys my lips out though so i put it on over lip balm first with a little liner and its beautiful!

I had seen a lot of reviews warning to stay away from this lipstick, and I was on the fence about trying it, but I finally bought it and OMG I'm so glad i did!!! The color is a beautiful, vibrant blue toned Barbie/Nicki Minaj pink that is both bright and pale at the same time, if that makes sense? It glides on super smooth, has a yummy vanilla scent and lasts about 4 hours if you use lipliner first (FYI NYX Doly Pink lipliner looks amazing under Saint Germain). If you are a fan of pink lipsticks you just can't pass this one up, it is AMAZING! Not an everyday lipstick, but if you feel like mixing things up with a fun color definitely try this.

I don't usually walk into a MAC store and buy something without trying it but for some reason I did and now regret it.
This Colour looks amazing and I have nearly all of the pink lipsticks at MAC and decided to add this one to the collection.
It is unfortunately too pale for my skin tone and I cannot wear it, I've tried many different looks using this lipstick as I don't want to waste money but the fact is it's just too pale.
I'll be giving this to a friend or using it in a photo shoot as it is a great Colour but definitely not on me.
