I picked up the Caitlyn Jenner lipstick from MAC last time I did a MAC order. Finally Free is a Cremesheen and is described as a "midtone rosey nude". MAC's website states that, "100% of the selling price goes to the M·A·C AIDS Fund Transgender
Initiative, to further its work in support of transgender communities."
I was intrigued by this lipstick because I have followed Caitlyn Jenner's story on tv and social media. I have to give her credit because I think that her transition must have been very difficult, especially in the public eye. The Kardashian/Jenner clan are masters at self promotion, but I don't think anyone would change their gender just for media attention. So I applaud her bravery and think that it is wonderful that the entire $17 from the purchase of this lipstick goes towards charity.
The lipstick is a mauvey/nude with a bit of brown. It's very wearable and would flatter many different skintones. Here's what it looks like on me:
You could easily wear this shade to work as an everyday lipstick. It goes nicely with natural makeup or with a bold eye. The formula is great - I like Cremesheens. It's not drying and, as the name would suggest, it's not glossy, but it has a sheen. I wish it had a bit more pink in it, but that's just because I have an affinity for pink lippies.
Finally Free comes in a black bullet tube. It looks like it has glitter in it, but I don't notice any glitter or shimmer when I wear it.
Here are the ingredients:

Finally Free is a nice, everyday neutral. It has a mild vanilla scent and applies easily. I get a couple hours of wear and the color fades evenly. It has a little bit too much brown for me to want to buy again, but I'll gladly use up this tube with no regrets since all the proceeds of my purchase went to charity.
