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.
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.
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!
My favourite lipstick ever! It's the perfect nude for my nc15/20 skin. It's a creamsheen so it's super moisturising and has a beautiful finish. The only downside is that it doesn't last as long as their other formulas
Tips: Apply to lips then smooth over with finger or brush
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!
The MAC lipsticks I have purchased have been by far the best lippys I have ever used. The matte finish is definitely my favourite finish. It stays on forever, all you need is a few touch ups through out the night and you are good to go.
Tips: Russian Red is the greatest red colour on the market at the moment. It is pure perfection, however slightly unforgiving, so be careful on application
I found the lipsticks quite liquidy and didnt give much coverage. Don't stay on very well either which is a pain because they are such gorgeous colours
Tips: Apply a few layers
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.
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.
I have the colour all fired up and I love it! Its a nice turned down red with a slight pink to it. Its in a matte shade which i love as i find the matte shades last a lot longer! It is so hard to get off though, stains the lips, but thats a good thing as it shows its lasting power. I own 2 MAC lippies and i would love to own some more!
