I’ve been on a bit of a lipstick review kick lately, so today we continue that trend.
Today I’m talking about MAC ‘Hot Chocolate’.
When I saw this colour online I knew that it was time to run out and grab it while I could. You all know how I fawn over the purples, so when I saw this wearable rosewood-y plum, I knew that it was time to pounce.
‘Hot Chocolate’ is a satin finish lipstick that is part of the new Vibe Tribe Collection. It is described as a “dirty plum” colour on the MAC website. It is a re-promote, first introduced as part of the Apres Chic Collection, in spring 2013.
It’s safe to say that if a lipstick has purple tones in it, I’ll probably like it. And ‘Hot Chocolate’ is no different. This lipstick is such a Shawna colour! I could happily wear it every day.

The closest colour I have to ‘Hot Chocolate’ is Colourpop’s ‘Tootsi’, however ‘Tootsi’ is more pink toned and has a matte finish. I’m so glad that I have ‘Hot Chocolate’ in my collection – I’m definitely going to have to get a backup.
You can find MAC Vibe Tribe ‘Hot Chocolate’ for for $22.50 CAD/$18.00 USD at MAC counters.
