I used to hate wearing lipstick, the smell and taste (no I didn't eat it) then I was introduced to MAC by my friend who was a make up artist, and the love affair began! The signature vanilla scent is what really started it, as the smell of other lipsticks used to give me a headache. The texture is also really nice, I love the cremesheen formula sooooo creamy and smooth. I also really like that the colours available make me want to be more adventurous with my make up. Overall I really love all the Mac Lippies that I own.

I now have five Mac lippies, I love the colours, and they are so creamy and smell yummy. They don't seem to last very well, I have to apply quite regularly, but the colour range makes up for it, some of the colours just aren't available in any other cosmetic range.
Tips: Use a lipliner to make your lippies last longer, use the same colour as your lipstick and fill in your lips first.
I have a small collection which consists of Viva glam 5, lollipop loving, creme'de'nude, rebel and Russian red. Smells good, lasts about 5 hours if I'm not drinking or eating, and doesn't bleed or sink too much into the lines on my mouth. I do love the smell.. Only downer is the PRICE~
I have a couple of these in my lipstick hoard and they're by far some of my favourites. They're a little pricey for lipstick, but the purchase is well worth it.
The payoff on these little babies is amazing. They're creamy, moisturising and super pigmented. They also make for a great stain if you didn't want to reapply all the time.
Tips: Use a lip scrub before applying. I use a lip liner brush since I don't have many lip liner pencils, and rub it in with my finger once I've covered the whole lip. Blot and then reapply. Perfect stain!
Mac lipsticks are one of my fav, they last all day on my lips and dont even leave the gooey line some people (i usually) get inbetween my lips. The colours are always a true match to what they look like when you are holding them which for most other lipsticks doesnt happen. Expensive but worth it.
I LOVE mac lipsticks, especially the matte formula, they literally last all day (as long as I'm not feasting like a queen), and make my lips so soft. Often matte lipstick have the tendency to leave my lips feeling as if I've been munching on dry weatbix, it's not flattering! But I've never had this is with any MAC ones WOO! I highly recommend you ladies get out there and shout yourself one, they are expensive but you don't need to reapply them 1000x a night, so you do get your bux worth!
Love MAC lipsticks as I'm a lipstick girl through and through. My face looks pasty and washed out without lipstick, I've actually had people as me if I'm sick if I'm not wearing it! That aside, I feel that the finish of MAC lipsticks really determine if you like them or not. For example, I have the shade 'hug me' at the moment which is a lustre finish and this barely lasts an hour on my lips. I can't wait to use it up and get rid of it! On the other hand I have brick-o-la (amplified) and 'just a bite' (satin) and these are great and long lasting on my lips. I feel MAC really do the stronger colours best but I'm not one for nude & neutral colours so other BR members may have better reviews regarding this. Love the bullet shape of the lippies, but one problem when you have several of them in your handbag, look closely as because the packing is largely all the same and it's easy to put the wrong colour on your lips!
i have too many shades of lipstick this is theai product mac delivers on whether their lipsticks are satin,frosted,matte or shimmery they last all day!the shades are true to their swatches and maintain that high pigment throughout the day. Personal favorites of mine are violetta,snob,candy yum yum and lady danger!the brighter the better. I could go on for pages about how great value these are!!i would rather pay more for the quality then paying cheap prices and having to keep reapplying throughout the day which means you would be using far more product!
Tips: keep your empty mac make up containers..lipsticks concealers...foundations swap six and you get to pick a FREE lipstick!!!
I brought this colour coming through duty free, so it wasn't as pricey : ) I love how pigmented it is, and it is long lasting - almost becoming like a stain if not reapplied. Though find it is a little drying than i would like. Its more of a pinky-red than orange or blue based.
Ah MAC, I do love you. When I jumped on the red lip bandwagon, I immediately went to MAC and spoke with their staff. They recommended a color that matches my skin tone perfectly and even makes my normally small mouth look luxurious (Russian Red, for those curious). Better yet, the lipstick goes on well, has amazing coverage, and lasts. Highly reliable and well worth the money.
Tips: Line and cover your lips with a lip pencil to keep your lipstick looking fresh and vibrant all day long!
