MAC Lipstick

I was super lucky to receive Heroine from the ever so lovely Jessicka & Rebellous Red from the lovely Melissa who are both BR babes. Thank you so much xxx

These are my only MAC products and I'm in love with them.

The packaging is sleek with a black "bullet" and a simple MAC on it.

The two I have do not dry my lips out which is great. I also don't have to reapply them throughout the day as often as other lipsticks as the staying power is fantastic! (roughly 5-6 hours) I find them to glide on and to not bleed, therefore I don't have to use a lip liner if I'm not in the mood.

I get so many compliments while wearing these two beautiful shades. I would highly recommend these lipsticks but unfortunately would not purchase more simply due to the price.

Must have!

I've always been told about the famous "Mac lipsticks" but I honestly didn't know what all of the hype was about until I purchased my own! I have Spirit which is a beautiful nude/brown satin finish lippy and Viva Glam II which is a very wearable nude. I am so so impressed with the packaging, formula and appearance of my mac lipsticks and I will definitely be purchasing more to add to my collection!

Tips: As it's winter, the weather can contribute to dry lips, therefore be careful when purchasing a matte finish lipstick as it can make dry lips look drier.

Matte lipsticks - insane pigmentation!

I've been using MAC lipsticks for the past 7 years and I can't imagine my collection without them. Having said that, I do find that regardless of the finish they can be quite drying on me and I know I'm not alone in this.

Funnily enough my favourite finish is matte. The pigmentation is insanely rich and true to colour. I love that they do not budge or fade as easily when eating or drinking or heck even breathing! On me they last a good 5-6 hours before I have to touch up the edges.

Out of all the finishes they are the most drying and I encourage beauties to use a lip conditioner or treatment before and after use (do not get lazy about it - trust me).

I notice with the limited edition mattes they tend to tug more at the lips while the permanent range not so much. There are the odd few shades that apply patchy (limited edition "Talk that Talk" / "Riri Woo") but nothing a thin layer of lip balm can't fix.

I highly recommend "Riri Woo" (or "Ruby Woo" - permanent range) - a rich blue based red and "Kinda Sexy" - brown nude. Or if you prefer a pink nude then "Mehr" may tickle your fancy. I buy the majority of my lipsticks from MAC online (US) and odd few occasions from our own NZ stores if the US has sold out. I would recommend MAC lipsticks more so for colour range.

Tips: If using the matte lipsticks prep your lips in advance and then treat them after you remove the lipstick. I exfoliate using ELF lip exfoliator then go in with my Blistex Lip conditioner.

Mac Lippies

I have dreamed of owning everything and anything made my MAC I always look up their new collections that they birng out and dream away..

I have never had the courage to spend over $40.00NZD on any product let alone something from MAC.

I recently stumbled on a website called ship it to.

The website allows you to purchase produts on America where it is then fordwarded to an American address before getting shipped out to you.

Perfect! I ended up just being a plane jane and ordering two lipsticks heroine and velvet teddy as I wasn't too sure how much the package would cost me if I got more products.

I got them from the website nordstrom where the lipsticks are $16.00USD ($22.00NZD)

When at the warehouse the package is weighed and then decided on how much it will cost to ship to your country for me it ended up being only $10.00USD so pretty cheap for my liking.

The only bad thing is my lipsticks were sent in a huge box from nordstroms if it was a little smaller I feel the shipping may have been cheaper.

I am so stoked with my new purchases and it came with three free samples so I am one very satsfiyed customer.

Luscious lips!

I got given MAC Candy Yum Yum lipstick as a gift. First impression was that the lipstick tube was smaller than I first thought. But the quality makes up for the size.

It smells amazing. It makes me feel like I am really treating myself for wearing it. It has a very very long lasting colour, and for a bright pink lipstick long last is a must! It is an absolutely beautiful shade of bright pink. It is very photogenic and makes me feel oh so girly.

I love the matte finish. It looks very crisp and sleek.

Tips: With any shade of lipstick it is important to make sure that the lines are perfect. Any mistake shows and it shows especially with bright and dark shades. A great lipliner also helps to keep the lipstick on your lips for longer and helps with those crisp lines.

Amazing!!

Mac lipsticks have such a velvety, creamy texture that not only stays on the lips but looks amazing throughout the day, I use these on my clients and they are all so opaque and gorgeous colours! Would 100% recommend to a client!

MY FAVOURITE

I have never come across a lipstick better than Mac! I am sooooo obsessed with their lipsticks. The lipsticks are so creamy and pigmented and the packaging is so nice too! There is such a great colour range and all the colours look amazinggg. I would definitely recommend purchasing a Mac lipstick, they are so worth the money!

Tips: Apply a lip balm before applying the lipstick, as the lipsticks can be a bit drying!

lady danger lipstick - matte

I absolutely adore this product, it has the best formula and durability a girl could ask for. I can eat several meals and it will still stay put with minimal touch up's needed. I love that it isn't drying on the lips like other matte lipsticks i have tried. Top points from me for a top product

Tips: i often put on a coat of my nxy soft matte lip cream to add to the overall colour and durability.

Full fuchia Amplified

Okay so I thought I would buy my first mac lippy!! I was so excited to get it in the mail I was jumping for joy!! literally,,, So anyway I had to try it straight away I liked that it was a pigmented lipstick BUT! yes I know but!! it didn't last long at all I tested it out throughout the whole 30mins I had it on for I checked in the mirror and it looked terrible! I reapplied and thought hmm.. maybe it would at least last an hour or so instead of looking like it had been smeared all over my lips. Would not be buying this lipstick again was definitely disappointed in the full fuchsia. I will be buying another one but haven't decided which one yet!
