Love these lipsticks!

I have two MAC lipsticks in my collection so far. In the Amplified Creme finish I have shade Girl About Town and in the Matte finish I have shade Heroine. I was totally influenced by Ellie's MAC mystery shop article to give these a go since she had such a great experience and loved the products so much. I have always been more of a lipgloss girl but I think these MAC lipsticks are influencing a takeover! I love these lipsticks. The lipsticks are so pigmented and rich that they really make a statement. The lipstick glides on nicely and while each have different finishes they both look amazing. My lips have stayed very well moisturised while wearing them. Because the lipsticks are so rich and beautifully pigmented I don't have to touch them up often even after drinking out of a sipper bottle which I have been seriously impressed by! The Heroine shade has such good staying power that even after makeup remover, toothpaste and cleanser I still had a purple tinge to them. The Girl About Town has some serious staying power and I had to use makeup remover to get it off. I have seriously fallen in love with these lipsticks and can see myself getting a range of colours and finishes to add to my collection in the future. Thanks Ellie and BR for helping me to find such an amazing product.

Tips: My application skills have seriously improved since using these lipsticks. The bold, bright colours aren't forgiving to mistakes so this product alone has helped me hone my skills.

Swear by this!

I have used other lip products in the past but nothing compares to these, they stay on for hours and have a lovely finish no matter what shade you get it in. Need to add more to my collection, come in a range of colours and finishes. I seriously recommend these, the only thing i am unsure about is the price.

Tips: Layer the application because you can tell if you have made a mistake.

Best Lipsticks Around!

MAC Lipsticks rule the world and for good reason! They are so pigmented and opaque and come in so many different colours, and even smell heavenly! The product definitely justifies the cost as it may be a bit out of people's price ranges but are definitely a must have and staple in any woman's makeup bag! My favourite colours include: Ruby Woo, Candy Yum Yum, Heroine, Snob, Cyber and Pink Nouveau!

mac lipsticks review

love love love these lipsticks! come in so many beautiful shades and the colour pigment is great! long lasting and all formulas go on super nice! only needing slight touch ups after meals!

Tips: with the matte shades, using a lip balm underneath will stop it from feeling like its drying out your lips and still keep the nice matte finish!

Going BAC to MAC

MAC Lippy's are great! I own Rebel, Cyber, and Fabby. They all glide on smoothly and stay on for a reasonable time. And they look the same on the lips as they do in the tube!

Tips: Definitely get yourself a lip liner to match, makes the lipsticks stay on much longer, and if eating or drinking, it's hardly noticeable when slightly worn off.

The best lipsticks I've ever tried!

I currently own five MAC lipsticks Rebel, Nicki Minaj Viva Glam, Saint Germain, Cremecup and Snob. All these lipsticks have either and amplified formula, creme sheen or satin.

My favorite finish is the amplified, I feel this gives the nicest finish and texture. Satin is my second favourite but I find it can bleed slightly. Last being cremesheen, I find it doesn't really last on me that great and I am forever reapplying!

For $40NZD I think these lipsticks are pricy but so worth the price. I own other lipsticks from other brands that are $27 and are no way near as nice as the MAC ones. The colour selection MAC offers is great! And I love how all the colours are pigmented. I'm currently on the look for a new MAC lippy to join my collection!

Tips: Apply a lip liner when using darker colours like rebel.

MAC lipstick

Absolutely love this product. The only lipstick range I will use now. They glide on so smoothly and the colour lasts for hours without bleeding or needing a touch up. It dries without feeling like your lips are dry and it doesn't crack like some lipsticks I have used in the past.

The Best Lipstick

I own the shade called 'Girl About Town' and it's the best lipstick I have ever used. Easy to apply, stays on really well and the colour is great too. I will definitely buy some more shades next time I'm at MAC.

Tips: Apply generously (couple of layers) for long lasting wear

My favourite lipstick

This lipstick is my favourite lipstick I have ever tried! I have the Saint Germain colour which is a shade I love and has looked good on everyone who has borrowed it from me. The lipstick really stands out - it is bold and colours your lips really well. The lipstick also feels really smooth to apply.

The only slight concern I have is that it starts to crack after awhile but that happens with most of my lipsticks so I believe it might just be because of my cracked lips. If you are on a tight budget, this lipstick probably isn't the one to buy as they can be quite pricey, on the other hand its a great investment :)

Tips: Apply lip balm before applying the lipstick if you have cracked lips.

Great colour & great wear

I recently received a free lipstick as part of the Recycle program that MAC runs where you can take 6 old, empty MAC containers back (foundation bottles, power compacts etc) and receive a free lipstick in return. They have a limited range of colors to choose from as part of this offer but there is still plenty to choose from. I chose the colour "Snob" and I love it! It looks great and wears so well that I forget I even have it on.
