There is no other lip stick, like a mac stick!

Mac have the best products ive ever used! I very rarely use makeup but when i do i like to look like i know what im doing, and using mac is the perfect way to do it. I love all there products inc the lippies, with a little gloss it looks fabulous.

Tips: Apply a little gloss on top, to give it that extra click.

Depends On Finish, Colour and Ease of Use

Firstly MAC make some incredible colours! there are colours that you just can't get anywhere else.. I do find though that some of the colours crack, some of the finishes are dryer take a little more work to apply where others even someone new to makeup could easily apply. Same issues you come across with most lipstick except with a $40 price tag so I only really go for MAC lippy if I absolutely love the colour and texture, I'd hate to spend that money and not wear it on a regular basis.

MAC Lipstick

MAC lipstick is one of the best out there in my opinion! It stays on for many hours, They have so many shades available and its great being able to trade in your old products for a new lipstick with the back to MAC programme.

Tips: Apply lip balm before using it - sometimes it doesn't look that great with dry lips. Remember to keep your empty containers so you can trade in with back to MAC.

My Boyfriend Loves This....

My boyfriend HATED when I would wear lipstick mainly because he couldn't/wouldn't kiss me in fear of him wearing the lipstick afterward, but when I tried mac's ruby-whoo we didn't have a problem. I love that it's matte, the colour is so vibrant and lasts, and it doesn't bleed (my biggest pet peeve). WE just love it!

Tips: Put a good lip liner on underneath the lipstick it will last long and not bleed!

Life Changer...

So I never wore lipstick. Always said I was too pale, looked silly, didn't like the feel. Recently I was staying at a friends and while waiting for her tried on all her make up (yes like a little kid in a candy store) and I meet MAC..... I went the next day and brought my very first lip stick (Costa Chic). I get so many compliments and its soooooo nice to wear. It has left me wondering why it took me so long to see the light?!?!?!

Tips: Go to MAC and play. They are soooo friendly and always happy to help get a colour you like. They even let me wear a red I wasn't sure about for the day to see how it went. I am happy to report I went back and brought it. Have fun x

Glitterdoll53 lady danger was just used on every bridesmaid at my sister in laws wedding (they all raved about it) it's bold but clearly was a hit! I would also try their limited range which always has new goodies x Can't wait to see what you think!

Mac Lipstick

i honestly absolutely LOVE the mac lipsticks ! they are a holy grail product , and definitely continue purchasing them . they last for so long , the formula is long lasting , and very pigmented , so the colour is very prominent and true to what it looks like in the lipstick tube . not drying on the lips either which is a huge bonus . there are so many colours to choose from , such a range , so there will definitely be one for you !

High quality indulgence

Not a necessity (you can get similar performance and quality from cheaper brands) but a MAC lipstick is a nice splurge if you feel like treating yourself - just make sure you are going for a colour that is worth the money and isn't easily dupeable by a cheaper brand to make sure you get your moneys worth. Always well pigmented, long lasting and delicious to wear with their creamy spicy indulgent vanilla scent. My picks are MAC Modesty (cremesheen which is a gorgeous nude brown pinky mauve), Twig (the perfect nude rose pink) and my all time fave Honey Love (the most perfectly balanced beige/brown/tan/pink/peach nude matte formula).

Gorgeous lipsticks, but highly priced

I have only one MAC lipstick due to their price here in NZ (around $40 in NZ, $15 in the USA). However, I really love it. The colour is Syrup, and it's a cream style lipstick. It goes on very smoothly, and has a very good staying power for something that isn't matte. I really like it, but I won't be rushing out to amass a large collection when there are pretty decent lipsticks around the $20 mark available.

Tips: If you bring in 6 MAC packages - lipstick tubes, powder containers etc, you can choose 1 free lipstick!

Never thought I'd wear a bright red lipstick

I have a pale, pinky complexion and have spent my life staying away from all things bright red. That is until I tried MAC Ruby Woo for the first time. This is the perfect red lipstick for all skin tones and has a gorgeous matte finish. It stays on all day and looks amazing!

Tips: Be careful when taking sweatshirts off or putting them on that you don't rub them over your lips, because you will end up with bright red lipstick smudged all over your face! :)

If you like Ruby Woo, try Russian Red next time you visit the MAC counter - RR is blue based, and I find balances well with my pinky pale complexion :) They're my two fav reds!

No good for me!

Unfortunately MAC lipsticks just don't work out on my lips, for some reason! I've tried all the formulas and they end up looking dry and peeling in only minutes after applying. I know this is just bad luck for me though, and as so many other people have no problem with them it's definitely not something wrong with the product!

There are so many different colours and formulas that it's no wonder MAC are so well known for their lipsticks. Colours like Morange and St Germain are iconic for being so bright and unique. MAC do so many gorgeous reds (Ruby Woo, Russian Red, Lady Danger for example) and heaps of great nudes too (Myth, Snob, Pure Zen).

Tips: Try before you buy, just in case!
