i don't usually wear lipstick, but I decided to treat myself. After purchasing a mac lipstick, I can never change. It works perfectly with my lips making them look full and perfectly coloured. It also stays on for a long time, therefore not being a hassle to reapply

Tips: put a foundation over your lips first, it makes the colour pop as well as making it stay for longer
As the title suggests I am obsessed with MAC lipsticks! I have more than a dozen of these in varying colours and finishes and I love them! I reach for them every day! The packaging is lovely too and they look so cute siting pride of place on my dresser.
I must confess I was a napoleon perdis makeup fan but MAC hangup got me hooked and now i cant wait to try others from the makeup giant... if it can make me betray napoleon then it must be good :)
I finally bought my first MAC, the price in NZ is horrendous! Anyway, I got the pro longwear series, and the colour I got was Soft Sell. I actually asked the counter lady for a colour that's a shade darker than my lips, and this was the colour she picked for me, and am I in love! The colour is very natural and not OTT that I wear this at work everyday. (I also got the colour "prolong" which is a red-red) The best part is this colour means when it fades due to eating and drinking, it doesn't look faded, and I can pull off not having to reapply until after lunch,. The only down side was that it's not very moisturising (however it glides on smoothly) I usually salvage it by topping it with Vaseline. Gotta collect them all!
Tips: The closer they are to your lip colour the least obvious that it's faded - stretches its use
My first ever MAC Lipstick was given by my husband just a month ago. He got me 2 lippies from the Osbourne collection, the nude one(forgotten the shade, sorry) and bright pink (Kelly Yum) which is fabulous in every single way.
1. Packaging is amazing! it is so catchy, and who wouldn't love a purple packaging anyway? 2. Kelly yum is my favourite as it very very very pigmented and long-lasting! 3. I always get great compliments whenever I am wearing either the nude or pink lippy from this loveable collection. 4. They were from my hubby! :))
I fell in love with MAC lipsticks after I bought my first one two years ago. It was in the shade "snob" and is probably one of my favourite shades to date. I love the extent of the colours that they offer. I guess my only complaint is the texture of them. They are really drying so I find using something else with them is usually best, whether its a primer, lip balm or a gloss over top. I just cant stand it when my lips get all flaky from wearing it.
Tips: Take it with you, when heading out! You will need to re-apply!
almost all my lippies are from MAC with the exception of one Bobbie Brown i got on a whim. I love how pigmented MAC lipsticks! going to a MAC counter is like going to candy store, so many colors and finishes to choose from! i find that MAC lipsticks are a bit drying to the lips but i am absolutely willing to ignore that. my favorites are rebel and ruby woo. Its always the finishing touch whenever i want to dress up.
Love MAC products. Which is why I have a few of these lipsticks that I wear regularly and really like. Saint Germaine which is amplified coral chick which is a frost and a satin one which name I can't read its that old.
It's awesome that these lipsticks come in different textures. I love the effect that has to a look. What I was disappointed with is how easy it is to find much cheaper brands with the same result.
This however has not stopped me from ordering Mac heroine ..
Tips: Be aware of the texture your using.
MAC are winning in every lipstick they make from matte to metallic they have it all! At $40 they are a little steeper then your average lippy but your sure get a lot more for your buck. I own several MAC lipsticks and swear by them! Especially the Matte range the wear on this is literally all day even after eating and drinking they are still stuck reasonably well. The colours across all the ranges are so vibrant and they literally have a type and colour to suit every one and every need. All I can say is go buy one! you wont regret it :)
Tips: Ask to test it store all the MAC staff are so lovely and helpful and its always good to see if you like the colour and texture before you buy as there are so so many to choose from
Every shade that i have purchased is amazingly pigmented and applies like a dream. I have had no problems except wanting more and more. They also have a lovely vanillaish scent which is not too overwhelming. I have so far collected 5 mac lipsticks in a range of formulations (cremesheen, amplified, matte, frost) and love every one of them!
Tips: Ask in store what the artist thinks will suit your complexion! They showed me ones i would have never picked up and i love them!
