MAC Lipstick Review

These are by far my favorite lipsticks of all time! The shade range is beyond amazing, there is a formula for everyone, and they are great quality…like most Mac products! My Favorite Formulas

Matte- Drying but last for ages on the lips..i'm talking around 4+ hours from personal experience. My favorite: Please Me- A super wearable pink for all skin tones.

Retro Matte- These are VERY drying, and tricky to apply, but the result is amazing and they stay on forever! Super opaque…like none other! My Favorite: Ruby Roo- A vibrant red, that I'm sure you have all heard about.

Satin- These are fairly matte but a lot less than the matte and retro matte range. This is one of the best in my opinion, as they last along time on the lips, without being to drying, and give a little bit of sheen. My Favorites: Myth- THE BEST NUDE EVER ( but very nude..be warned) Rebel- Looks great on so many people, and is by far the best deep purply, plumy color I have come across.

Amplified- These colors are super bold! Very opaque and fun, but I do not believe there are many shades in this range available. My favorite: Impassioned- A bright pink…more on the reddish side. The only vibrant pink that I love!

Amplified Creme- These are amazing! Smooth, pigmented, glossy! Don't last to long on the lips, but that is to be expected. My favorite: Vagas Volt- A great coral orange! If you like corals you will love this one!

Cremesheen- Everyone loves these... they will not fail you! Really pigmented, and glossy! Can not go wrong with these. My favorite: Creme d' nude- Really nice wearable nude, one of my everyday lip colors!

I only recently got on the MAC lipstick wagon and I am completely sold that they are worth the hype. I brought mine direct from MAC US so didn't get stung by the inflated prices here in NZ. I already have another cart full of shades I want to try.

The lipsticks I own are: Ruby Woo- a beautiful red that would suit most. It makes your teeth look ultra white and is super long lasting. It's formula is a matte and is quite dry but it's forgivable because it makes it easy to wear as it doesn't slip or slide.

Girl About Town- this one is awesome! It's a amplified formula. Bright pink, would suit most once again, one swipe gives a full on opaque colour and while being creamy it still is long lasting. This shade is my favourite out of my 4.

Twig- this is my grown up shade, it's a soft brown pink shade. It's a satin finish. This is very long lasting nd glides on perfectly. So easy to wear like all of them!

Creme Cup- this is a nude pink, it's my least favourite because it just doesn't suit me as much sadly (the problem with buying online!) but it's just as good quality. The shade would suit a lighter skin tone. I find it harder to pick out lighter shades for myself then I do dark!

The packaging is very high quality and the smell of these is a beautiful vanilla scent.

I can't wait to add to my collection!

Since the age of 14 I have been obsessed with MAC, this Canadian company surely has set in stone a strong vision and target market for their brand. But lets be honest who doesn't love a little MAC in their lives!

From celebrities gracing the covers of the latest mags for the Viva Glam campaign to the enticement of limited edition collections popping up every few months,it's only to easy to see why MAC have the cult like following that they do.

So what sets MAC apart from everyone else? - More like what doesn't!

Having had the honour to work on counter for MAC myself, it's too easy to see why it sells. In particular the most known products that stand pretty and tall within the vast range would of course have be the lippys!

With that amazing vanilla scent, creamy silky texture and lets not forget that oh so trendy colour selection, for the price tag of $40NZD or $15USD you can see why these fly off the shelves.

So with the names of Lady Danger, Morange, Vegas Volt, Chatterbox ,Angel, Russian Red, Ruby Woo, Pink Nouveau, St Germaine plus many others rolling off the tips of makeup loving tongues everywhere I highly recommend getting some of these to try yourself.You can guarantee there will be no disappointment in sight!

But remember to pick your shade and finish to suit your lifestyle, it can be overwhelming standing in front of that bright eye catching stand but keep in mind what result you are wanting it to have when your wearing it out and about.

I personally love Cremesheens, Amplifieds and Matte finishes due to wanting something that will stay bold with the amazing colour pay off and bright on my pout without having to touch up every two seconds.

No matter what colour, finish or packaging you choose to go for when making your MAC lip candy purchase, it's rewarding to know that there is only going to be the lowest chance that you will ever regret buying any MAC product.

So go on be bright, be bold , be daring and spice up your pout!

Are they expensive? Yes, they're practically an investment, but they're worth every penny. Even a beginner could tell the difference between applying a MAC lipstick vs. a drugstore lipstick. The formulas (notice the plural, they have a few to suit everyone) are thick and creamy but long lasting. The colours are more pigmented than you could ever imagine, and the shades - I wouldn't know where to begin. A year ago I couldn't fathom the idea of spending $40 on a lipstick, but after purchasing my first they began flying into my makeup bag faster than I could process how much money I had spent. You can find good quality lippies for less, but every girl should own at least one. They are unbeatable.

I love MAC its the only lipsticks I wear for the following reasons: They smell amazing, all the lipsticks have an amazing vanilla smell that doesn't leave no matter how long you've had the lippy for. They come in amazing colours! I have 10 different ones at the moment. I often find that Ive taken my lippy off with make up wipes and there is still a stain on my lips in the morning so they sit quite strongly.

I love love love mac lipsticks. They are always super pigmented and in beautiful shades! The classic simple black packaging is lovely and they smell divine. A must have in your collection. They don't bleed and last a good amount of time (even with eating and drinking). I own four shades; Rebel, Russian red, Violetta and Snow orchid. My favourite of the four would probably be rebel (It's a hard choice though as all the shades are just amazing!). The only downside to the sleek packaging is not being able to see the shade names or colours when they are sitting in my lippy holder.

I think MAC have a fantastic range of lipsticks. At the moment I own Russian Red, Sweetie, Rebel, Snob, Hot Tahiti, Odyssey and Chatterbox! They are my absolutely favourite - there is such a wide range to cater for many different looks and skin complexions. They last all night if you wear them of an evening and thus while they are quite pricey, you get a lot of use out of them.

These are my fav lipsticks, espcially the creme sheens. Their so pigmented and last a long time (the matte ones last aaages)

I think all of my favourite lipsticks are MAC lipsticks.

I own Velvet Teddy, St. Germain, Pervette, Saigon Summer, Snob, Please Me and Creme d'Nude. I love them all, the formulas are amazing, colour payoff is perfect and the packaging is so sleek. My boyfriend calls them my 'rifle bullets'. Can't wait to add to my collection.
