MAC Cremesheen Lipstick

My two favourite MAC Cremesheen lipsticks are 'Speed Dial' and 'Crosswires'. These lipsticks are very easy to apply and they hydrate my lips, leaving them feeling soft and smooth. I can wear them for 1-2 hours without needing to reapply.

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 :)

Mac Lippies

I have around 20 mac lipsticks and I'm obsessed! They are fantastic, the colour range, pigmentation, texture, (they even smell nice!) They have a range of different finishes so there if definitely something to suit anyone!

Tips: I often pair with a lip liner if I want to get an intense colour or crisp like for something like a red (I love Russian red) or dark colour. For the nudes (my fave is angel) and lighter colours often I just put then straight on. Also mac lipglass look nice on top for extra shine!

Ruby Woo, my perfect Red!

I have always wanted to try MAC products after all the rave reviews on them,and I decided to treat myself to a lipstick. Of course, I had to have a lipstick in my favourite colour of all time.. Red! I chose a Ruby Woo Matte lipstick, and I LOVE it!! Yes this lipstick is quite drying as it is matte, but I have found that prepping my lips with the Oasis lip and lash treatment helps the lipstick glide on smoothly and it keeps your lips moisturised the whole time your wearing it! I absolutely love the finish of this lipstick, the pigmentation is out of this world amazing, and the packaging is solid. I feel so glamorous everytime I wear this, the shade is so bold and on my olive toned skin it is a very true red. I own way too many different red lipsticks and have never found the right red for me until now! I get so many compliments with this shade, and it is a very loud and bold statement colour. I would love to try some other lipsticks from MAC, but if I only ever own one.. This would be it for me :)

Tips: Pick a shade and lipstick that is right for you. Look at swatches online, these are quite pricey so you want to make sure you pick one that you will love :)

A need not a want!

I have nearly 30 mac lipsticks and keep adding to my collection! Mac has a great colour range and most importantly so many different finishes! I have incredibly dry lips and often end up with lippy in the fine lines of my lips and am also not a fan of glossy lips but the satin finish is the perfect answer! I find them hydrating and they glide right over any dry parts without highlighting them too much!

These lipsticks are so pigmented and I find they last 3-4 hours before needing to reapply, but I think this is different for everyone.

Tips: If you're unhappy with your first mac lipstick, try another finish or a lip shade with a different undertone!

Mac Lippies

I only have 2 mac lippies so far and i am in LOVE! I got them from NZ duty free for $32 each

I have Pink Pigeon and Morange. They are the most beautiful and vibrant colors i have ever seen. You get such a great and true color pay-off.

I find they last at least a couple of hours before i need to reapply which is great. They are long lasting and just great in general.

I love the packaging its simple,clean and classic.

i cant wait to buy more and grow my collection :)

This is by far the best lipstick I've used! Those colours they come in are fab and they go on so nicely. Definitely something people should try, will not regret! The only thing is how much they cost but I'd definitely say it's worth it.

You'll never own just one!

So consistently good with every formula. Pigmented. Once you own one you will want more! Not to mention the classic mac lipstick scent!

Tips: Every colour will look different on your own skin tone. The ladies at MAC are more than helpful with letting you try different colours on.

Wedding Lippy!

I braved entering the fantastic new MAC counter in Riccarton Mall (Christchurch). I was a woman on a mission. I was after a lipstick - Not just any lipstick, something Fabulous for my wedding day! I had a rough idea of what shade I was after so I explained to the store person what I wanted. "An intense Pink that will last almost all day!" After 5 minutes I had fallen in love. My colour of choice.... Candy Yum Yum. It is a Matte almost highlighter hot pink, I practically had to wipe the drool from my mouth upon finding it in the store. I almost died when I was told the price, but I just couldn't walk out of the store without it. My wedding isn't until October but I have been wearing it regularly every chance I get. It's like velvet on my lips. No smelly odour just a light natural scent. Not waxy. It keeps my lips supple and moisturised at the same time making them POP and look fabulous. Success!!! And the comments I have had on this shade.... they speak for themselves..... "WOW, omg.... what brand is that?? I want it....." the list goes on. Never, Ever again will I buy any other branded lippy. And after our wedding is over (and our budgets not tight) I will be marching ... or skipping with joy...... back into that glorious MAC store to buy even more items! MAC has changed me, for the better. When I am wearing this lippy I have no fear of the dreaded lippy on the teeth or chapped looking lips under my lippy. Just confident and ready to take on the world. Fabulous.... Simply Fabulous xx

Obsessed

MAC lipsticks are my current obsession. No joke; I've purchased 20 in the past month. I know what you're thinking - holy crap that's a LOT. And it is. I know. Thank goodness for YouShop and American prices!

Anyway I LOVE MAC lipsticks. BUT I don't love all of them! My favourites are the Amplified Creams, Cremesheens, Amplifieds, Satins and Mattes.I don't like Lustres or Frosts as I find them old fashioned and unflattering on my skin.

MAC lipsticks are creamy and pigmented and they have a very light vanilla scent to them. There are so many colours to choose from so there's something for everyone. They're also cheap when you buy from MAC USA ($16 each) - even cheaper than the drugstore lippies over here!

My favourite shades are Blankety (holy grail nude lippy for pale skin)

Rebel - The perfect berry shade for all skin tones!

Faux and Twig - Muted deep pink shades - so flattering and universal

Impassioned - The most amazing neon pink for daring ladies!

All in all I love the majority of MAC lippies. If you can I would recommend heading to a MAC counter and having a play with them to find out which formulas and finishes you like, the girls at MAC are lovely and you can play to your hearts content!
