MAC Lipsticks in my opinion are the absolute bets lipsticks available in the world! They have a HUGE range of colours, Great range of textures and are the best quality! They have a noticeably better staying power and really are better than any other high end or drug store lippies!

Tips: layer different colours to make a custom shade!
I got the shade Snob as a Christmas present from a friend and I have to say I'm in love with it. If I don't want a bright lip, this my second go-to lipstick to make me feel beautiful. The staying power is wonderful, the pigment is insanely intense, they're super creamy and overall just the best lipstick I've ever owned. I definitely will treat myself to more colours (fingers crossed that I can find Brave sometime soon). Oh and they smell like vanilla, who doesn't love the smell of vanilla?
Update: I have Brave, a nude from the Cinderella collection, Viva Glam Miley AND Dew. Safe to say they're all incredible.
I have a bunch of MAC lipsticks and I'm happy with all of them. The matte shades tend to be a little bit drying but nothing you can't work around. The colour range is great. They're pretty expensive in NZ but they are worth it I think.
I absolutely love these lipsticks and I can see why they're so well loved world wide. They have awesome formulas and a wide shade range. I have two shades - up the amp and viva glam 1 (I also had girl about town but I lost it, so tragic :( ). The only thing that holds me back from buying the whole lot is the price but they are definitely worth it.
I'm totally converted. Bought my first Mac lippy a few months ago- Amplified in the shade Vegas Volt - a vibrant orange/coral shade and I'm in love with it! The case is sleek- I love the little bullet shape, very sleek. It goes on so smoothly and the colour is awesome- very true to what it looks like, obviously highly pigmented. It stays on beautifully and wears for a really long time. It feels very moisturising and creamy. The suprising thing that I love the most about it is the smell- it smells so good! I have a feeling this wont be my only Mac lippy for long
This time last year, i didnt own a single mac lipstick. The first one that I bought was Relentlessly red- A beautiful coral/red/pink (retro-matte) This one stays on forever, its very drying which is exactly what you would expect from a lipstick with a retromatte finish, and it stains the lips so that if it comes off, the colour is still there.
The two matte finish ones i have are taupe and diva. Both of these complement my skin tone so well, and they both last around 4 hours..
Pure heroine is a beautiful amplified colour and lasts 3 hours as well.
The last one i own is a cremesheen. These are my least favourite, but the colour is beautiful on paler girls. I have fanfare, which looks good with a pink lipliner.
Tips: use lipliner to line your lips, and plenty of lip balm for the retro mattes and matte lipsticks to avoid dried out lips,.
My new addiction is MAC lipsticks after my daughter introduced them to me 6 months ago - I now have 5! I love how strong and bold the colours are, even the matt/nude colours look strong. They are creamy and make my lips feel wonderful!
Tips: Buy duty free if possible - they are pricey but worth it!
Okay, so im one of those girls who loves me a matte lippy. My lips domt dry out easily, and I feel very self concious when im wearing lipstick as I always have to check its not going everywhere. Matte lipsticks just stay. In saying that, MAC does the best matte lippys out. Ive tried a fair few, and it may only just be me, but they truely are a godsend. Even the Amplified formula give off a similar staying power as a matte but are quite a bit creamier.
Tips: Get that stuff duty free, ladies! :*
I have only recently purchased myself a few MAC lipsticks due to being addicted to them since my secret santa got me Herione which is a matte finish.
I have the shades: Herione - a purple which is a matte finish Rebel - a deep plum which is a satin finish Velvet Teddy - a brown nude which is a matte finish Lady Danger - a orange red which is a matte finish
I understand why everyone thinks the packaging looks like a tampon. But the packaging of these lipsticks are classic and instantly recognisable. These lipsticks also smell divine and remind me of vanilla essence.
The matte formula is drying but it is super long lasting and are by far the most pigmented. The satin formula isn't drying and feels amazing on its own on your lips. I have found this formula is a little matte but has a nice sheen to it. I have found that this formula doesn't last as long as the matte lipsticks. I have found both finishes go on smoothly and evenly.
Now, my favorite one so far is Velvet Teddy and has actually became my all time favorite lip color. I definitely think these lipsticks are worth the price tag.
Tips: Use a lip scrub at the start of your makeup routine to help prep your lipstick. Then use a lip balm to help ensure hydrated lips. These tips will help the lipstick to go on smoother and also last longer.
I have recently come to love this brand of lipstick! I love how the lipstick is extremely creamy and almost butter like to put on. It is very pigmented and lasts a great amount of time. MAC has a great variety of colour and finishes. My favourite would have to be the Satin or Cremesheen finish so smooth and hydrating on the lips. Would 100 times over recommend this product to all my family and friends! Can't wait to complete my collection!
Tips: Always prep lips with lip balm before hand. If you're using a deep or unforgiving lip colour then use a lip liner.
