MAC Lipstick Review

I have tried and own are wide range of mac lipsticks I have to say hand on the level of quality is of an impeccable standard throughout the extensive range of lipsticks. One of my favourite things about the MAC lipsticks in particular is the smell as strange as it sounds the smell of this lipsticks remind me of summer they have slight coconut scent to them but it is not at all overpowering. The lipsticks apply so smoothly and are extremely pigmented. A downfall I would say MAC lipsticks have is that darker colours such as red (ruby woo) in particular have a tendency to bleed and move on the lips, however they are still very long wearing and I do not find myself have to touch up my lipstick very often. Overall I would say MAC lipsticks are an excellent product.

Initially starting with Mac I was really into the bright shades. But after becoming kind of obsessed with the nude looks and everyday color influenced for me by Kylie Jenner, I tried finding shades similar. I started off with "Brave" which is Satin, this was like my fav shade for ages and the only lip colour I wore, it has subtle hints of pink but then that nude base. It’s so good for everyday but still eye catching. Keep in mind this is such a popular color and when going into mac recently to get a new one they had completely run out, so that’s when I got on to "Velvet Teddy", which is matte. The colour is has a nude brown base with hints of peach. I love this color and it go’s so well with my dark features, I’ve had a lot of compliments and am often asked for the name. Its a good everyday shade and will be perfect for the upcoming winter season. My last favorite everyday shade would be "shanghai spice" which is crème sheen and the color is a nude peach. I love this one, as it is a glossy option to the ones suggested above. P.S "Kinda Sexy" is another must have similar to the above ones and is another matte option. I definitely recommend these colors they are a must in your Mac Collection. X

I own pure heroine and i think it is a lovely colour. suits fair skin tones well and has a nice texture.

Sigh.

MAC seriously does the greatest lipsticks! It's so hard to pick favourites and so hard to refrain from buying every single one.

Two of my favourites are Cherish (Satin) and Girl About Town (Amplified).

Cherish is a perfect nude (and totally underrated) that glides on creamy, doesn't emphasise dry lips, and wears really well throughout the day. It's easy to pop a lip balm over, or a gloss over the top, and sometimes I mix this with a pink to make a pinker nude, as this is more of a true nude.

Girl About Town, oh my where do I start! The brightest of bright pinks but without the neon factor. It's on the slightly darker spectrum of bright pink and is absolutely stunning. Unfortunately mine got left in the car on a hot day and all melted to one side so I have to use a lip brush to apply but this does apply well straight from the tube for such a bright colour. I always get compliments when I wear this and it suits such a huge range of skin tones.

Every single person can find a MAC lipstick shade they love. The variety is huge and the quality never disappoints.

Oh my lord-My all time fav lippie of all lippies (Rebel, Sin, Angel, Teddy and Please Me to name a few of my favs!!!) You cannot go wrong with a MAc in your handbag-be careful though once you invest in one you'll need them all in your life. Just the feel of this stuff on your lips compared with other lippies is enough to have you sold!!! FIVE STARS

Lets face it, everyone loves MAC lipstick. They range of texture, the range of colours, the feel of putting it on in public with that infamous black bullet. I rarely use lipstick but if I do it is a MAC. Wear a lip liner though, just to increase the stay power.

I recently purchased my first mac lipstick after getting over have to re apply every half hour and bad quality drug store lipsticks. I am so Impressed at the staying power and quality ! I applied Mac "modesty" at 9am and didn't have to reapply till late afternoon, I also didn't get and clumping in he corners etc I would highly recommend these lipsticks since I got my first iv gone and bought more colours!

I was lucky enough for a friend to purchase for me my first MAC lippie in the cult fav colour St Germain. I had MAC foundations and primers already but never seen the point in having lipsticks worth so much... until I tried it. I now have 10 shades in my collections in the past 12 months. The colours are on point, the packaging feels expensive and I love all the formulations. Lasting power does vary lippy to lippy but I can say I am hooked! They are a worth while investment

I have a couple of MAC lipsticks but I thought this one was more fitting for the review as I am constantly craving more MAC lippys lol.

A friend of mine suggested I try Craving as she felt that it would suit pretty much everyone. So without hesitation I put it in my cart.

She could not have been more right. This is such a beautiful colour. It's a really subtle shade. It's quite noticeable but not an in your face colour if that makes sense. I instantly fell in love with it and I find myself reaching for this colour the most.

It's an amplified finish and I've noticed that I do need a few touch ups throughout the day. It's not very long lasting compared to my "All Fired Up" lipstick but that one is a retro matte finish so the staying power is ovbiously a lot better. I find with my all fired up lippy, I can eat and drink anything and not have to touch up afterwards because it wears really well. I do find that there is a hint of lipstick on my cup after drinking but it doesn't affect my lip colour at all. It's amazing!!

I love, love, love the smell of these lipsticks. They all smell like they want to be eaten. The sweet vanilla scent is heavenly. That is one of the main reasons why I quickly became addicted to them.

I find myself swatching my collection quite a lot because I'm obsessed with all the beautiful colours. And it almost feels surreal owning these beautiful products. I never thought I'd ever jump on the MAC bandwagon given how expensive they are in Nz, but because of Shaaanxo, I discovered youshop and that's how my addiction began.

I don't think I'd ever walk into a MAC store here and buy more products, I think it is far too expensive so for all my MAC essentials, I will stick to the official website so my collection can continue to grow.

Every girl needs a beautiful MAC lipstick. Even if it's just 1. Find your perfect shade, buy it and own it xx

As someone who hates high maintenance I long avoided lipsticks. After trying 3 different shades of matte finish MAC lipsticks I'm converted. They apply easily, stay put, and the colour stays strong for a good couple of hours through drinking & eating. Doesn't dry lips out either. I don't always use liner as it doesn't really need it.
