Love these lipsticks

I've purchased a few of these recently and adore the bright colour on the first swoop. I got MAC Red and it's so pigmented, it lasts a good few hours before wearing off and fades beautifully once it does.

I've got a few more colours in my wish-list. It's definitely worth the splurge!

Rebel

Purchased the rebel matte finish lippy from mac. WoW. Stays on all night, makes your lips look fuller and the colour really makes things go pop. Very happy with this product as most lippys smudge and i didnt have that problem with this.

Tips: apply a clear gloss for that perfect finish xO

A little dry but great colours

I tend to go for very bold colours (Lady Danger, Cyber, Viva Glam) and my main concern is if the colour will be consistent throughout the day - which it is. I also sometimes combine 2 colours to get a different shade.

With matte colours that I use, the lips can feel quite dry after a few hours if you don't apply balm before hand.

I do notice a bit of bleeding as the day progresses but normally only after 4 or 5 hours. Mostly stand up well to eating/ drinking.

Tips: I often get a white line where my lips meet after a few hours of wearing lipstick or gloss so find it easier to just wipe off that area and reapply, rather than start over.

Everyday Lipstick

I love the texture of MAC lipstick, it's creamy enough to feel light and hydrating, but not so much that you feel it's going to slide right off. It'll last for hours every time, and without drying out your lips.

It has a mild but tasty smell, and comes in a huge variety of colours. The only negative aspect is a the price, but if that doesn't put you off it really is a lipstick for everyone.

Tips: Buy it online rather than in New Zealand, half the price means better value.

Mac lipsticks

Mac lipsticks are honestly my fav!! Have the best range of colours for whatever you would prefer. Which is good that you are able to choose colours that go well with with your skin tone with their wide range. They're so creamy and glide on so well and smoothly! Would buy all of them if I could! And let's not forgot about the scent! Smells like vanilla <3 all round love the lipsticks.

Love!

I have 4 mac lipsticks. Taupe, Velvet Teddy, Rebel & Ruby woo. I love the consistency of them all. Ruby woo would have to be my favourite. It is ultra matte but if applied after a lip balm I don't find it drying at all and it lasts all day. Velvet Teddy is the perfect nude, Taupe is a perfect 90's brown lipstick & rebel is the most amazing colour! So worth the money!!

Mac cremesheen in the shade Creme cup

Good nice smelling product, goes on smoothly and lasts for hours, it's a nice pale pink almost nude shade, so it's good if you want to go for the nude trend but have a fear of your skin matching the lipstick! It has a nice gloss also

Tips: If you tend to have dry lips, I would probably recommend to use a lip scrub beforehand, as it makes dry lips quite noticeable, otherwise it's fine!

Slightly overhyped

I recently got this is cremesheen "japanese maple" after hearing so much hype about the MAC brand.

I found the packaging to be too "tamponesque" and very plain. The lids does stay on well though.

Application - very easy. Glides on nice and smoothly. Even with a nude I use a liner and it was very easy to blend the liner into the lipstick. Its quite hydrating so that's a bonus if you suffer from dry lips. It's quite creamy and I find that makes it easier to apply.

I didn't find it be very long lasting at all. I apply it and as soon as I have a drink or something to eat it's gone. That might be because I purchased a cremesheen rather than a more opaque shade - Not sure as this is the first MAC lipstick I have purchased.

Nice vanilla type taste as most of the other ladies have mentioned but I don't feel it lives up to its $40 hype. I'm really undecided if I will try another shade but will mull over that decision for a little while.

Refuse to live without these

I have loved MAC lipsticks for the longest time and I will always continue to purchase these. I have a huge range of shades and finishes and thats why I love MAC lipsticks so much, because there are so many different shades to pick from and one to suit everyone and if there isn't one that you like then get in touch with MAC ASAP and complain because that just can't be possible.

My favourite finish of MAC lipstick finish is definitely the matte finish as they are extremely long wearing and they don't transfer easily.

Tips: Use a lip liner to make these lipsticks even longer wearing than they already are :)
