Love MAC

These lipsticks are 100% worth every cent you pay for them. With a huge range of colours and textures available, everyone can find one to suit them :) I find that the matte textures last around 6-7 hours on me generally, whereas the cremesheens will last around 3-4.

worth it!

i have the matte mac lipstick in cyber and though i feel uncomfortable wearing such dark colour normally find this lipstick incredibly wearable. when worn with lipliner it lasts hours before having to be reapplied. its staying power is really something special. it is a very moisturising formula and does not dry out my lips at all. overall an extremely good lipstick and well worth the price.

MAC lipsticks - some are better!

I do love my MAC lipsticks but feel that some are better than others in terms of pigmentation and wear-time. They are generally amazing though so if someone has never tried a lipstick by MAC I'd say definitely give it a go :) Love the packaging also.

Tips: The swatches provided on MAC's website are not that accurate, google swatches instead to get a better idea of the true colours.

Mac lipstick

Im newly converted to Mac lipstick but now I am a true lover. What I love most about Mac lipsticks is they stay on for hours. First one I tried was Lady Danger and hours later caught my reflection and was shocked. Was not expecting my lipstick to look like it had just been applied. Since then ive invested in a few others as the shades available are awesome. I use full sized for my self and sample size in my kit.

Tips: You can order sample sized lipsticks from thebodyneeds2.com. They come in a little metal pan that I put into a small Z palette for my make up kit.

Very expensive but ultimate luxe

I do think MAC is very expensive, however all products in the entire range that I have ever used, are far superior to other make up brands. The MAC lipsticks (I have tried satin and Cremesheen Pearl) are fab! Long wear, beautiful colour and doesnt rub off onto clothing, cups and hands. Feels nice on the lips too. And who doesnt like pulling out the MAC brand from their make up bay anyway?!

Tips: I dont have any, but would love to someone to tell me how I can wear MAC without paying full price!!!

Mac Lipsticks- Must have!

I am the biggest fan of mac lipsticks! The pigmentation and lasting power of these powerful tubes are no doubt some of the best! I have a ever growing collection of 15 and have many standouts I still have to grab.

My favourite finish would have to be cream sheen on days where I'm going for a minimal makeup look. For a stand out colour I believe the retro mattes and amplified formulas are un beatable.

The lipsticks cost $40 each- which is quite pricy but for the quality I think its worth it. I do have to say there are many comparable affordable dupes that can be found meaning you don't have to pay such a price for a great lipstick.

I will forever be a lover of these lipsticks and will continue to re purchase!

Tips: When you are finished your lipstick, keep them! Use back to mac to get a free lipstick to add to your collection. And make sure you prep those lips for the best application!!

Mac Matte lippies...super drying!

MAC definitely has the best colour range, however their matte collection, while it lasts fantastically, it is incredibly drying on the lips! i had dry lips for a few days afterwards...not worth it! Unfortunately their 'cult' colours, the really amazing shades like ruby woo, lady danger etc only come in matte, and not in their other collections!

You're simply the best.

Little bit pricey, but the fact that you can get a free one when returning six empty MAC containers? Quite reasonable if you use other MAC products as well. The lipsticks that you can claim on the return of your empty containers are great staples for your collection so it's well worth it.

In terms of staying power/pigmentation and range of colours MAC is by far my favourite, I currently own; Girl Next Door, Ruby Woo, Rihanna 2, Up the Amp, Fanfare, Creme Cup, Royal Ball, and Cyber.

Tips: Try not to absolutely fall in love with a Limited Edition lipstick. Forever R.I.P Lady GaGa VivaGlam. :(

Favourite Lippies ever!!!

MAC lipsticks. Come to mama!!!! I have a very small collection at the moment, mainly made up of very bright colours but I hope to expand in the near future. Jesus they're so pigmented and last aaaages on my lips. Even when I'm eating, while the top layer will come off there is still some colour on my lips. It fades very gracefully too which I'm always thankful for since I'm lazy and I can never be bothered to touch up. The different finishes are great and the varieties of colour offered by MAC is unbelievable. No actually it is believable because it's MAC. My favourite finishes are Amplified and Cremesheen

Tips: Scrub your lips well beforehand, it will also make your lips look a bit fatter and then apply some lip balm or I use MAC's lip primer. Trust me, it's nasty when you apply good lipstick on bad cracked lips.

Amazing shade range

I have two MAC lipsticks at the moment - Vegas Volt (amplified creme), a 'full powered coral' and Rebel, (satin), a 'midtonal cream plum'. I have these two as I love coral/orange lips on me (I have olive skin), and I wanted something more dramatic and Rebel seems to look gorgeous on everyone.

Application is easy, I apply straight from the bullet. I don't usually line my lips, but layering Rebel with a darker lipliner really amps up and darkens the colour.

Vegas Volt lasts well on me, though not as well as Rebel, which lasts all night without a touch up if necessary, providing it is blotted first. It can be a little drying though. I would reapplying after eating however.

In short, the shade range is unbeatable, with great varied finishes and I intend to add to my collection very soon.

Tips: Chi Chi Viva La Diva Lady Bump is verrry similar to Rebel and is much cheaper
