MAC Lipstick Review

I've never thought buying MAC lipstick was worth is mainly for the price. Then since Kylie Jenner looked so amazing in the 'Velvet Teddy' I just had to try it. I love the shade, and not to mention the lipstick isnt overly thick or drying. It's pigmented and stays on longer if your not drinking and eating. Totally a lipstick worth trying atleast once in your life time. Since I have tried the lipstick, next on my wish list will be their lipliners!

I'd heard the hype about these lipsticks. I think everyone probably knows someone who raves about them. Sometimes you can believe hype, sometimes you can't. These are pretty special though, and I'm confident that the hype is justified.

When I was heading to Oz recently the MAC display at Auckland Airport caught my eye, and I eventually picked up a lippy and a primer. The girl at the stand was incredible, letting me play and swatch, narrow it down, then tried my final two colours on me. She was awesome, and the duty free price tag didn't hurt! I chose an 'Amplified' lipstick in the shade 'Diva-ish', which is part of the new Limited Edition MAC is Beauty Collection which hadn't been released in store at that point, but may have been by now.

Diva-ish is a gorgeous shade which MAC describe as 'intense fuschia' but for me is a vibrant pinky red with lots of 'oomph'. It tones in incredibly well with the colours I prefer on eyes and cheeks (teal, pink, purple, black, brown, silver, blue for eyes; brighter pinks for cheeks).

The lipstick comes in the traditional bullet shaped black MAC tube, with the logo in silver and a silver band and interior casing (with the MAC logo in black inside as well). It's one of those tubes that you get a little thrill of pleasure pulling from your bag.

The lipstick finger is a decent size, with a faint but pleasant scent. It smoothes onto lips deliciously, and feels creamy and sexy.

It's neither drying nor hydrating - it does what a lippy is meant to do , and colours your lips, basically. While it transfers to whatever you're pressing your lips to, enough is left behind that you still look at least a little made up, and reapplication is easy enough when needed.

If you're not eating, drinking, or kissing, it stays on for a good length of time - superior to other brands in my collection - and stays looking fresh and gorgeous for the duration.

I'm sold. I have at least three more overseas trips this year so will be picking more up (I know you can get them in stores but they're much cheaper duty free, of course!) - I think I 'need; their iconic red shade and maybe a lighter pink :p

MAC has to be the go-to brad for quality in my eyes and is the only brand of lipstick i buy and use till its gone, you hardly ever find colors that are anything like mac, the pigments are so unique and if you do they wear to fast! i love how they don't dry your lips like other brands and how amazing some of them smell and feel. so worth the price!

I can honestly say MAC is my favourite place to go when I want a new lipstick. They have such a huge range of colours and they bring out new ones all the time! I have 10 already and I have a whole list of more I am wanting to buy! I would recommend to absolutely any body as there is a colour to match any occasion, outfit or mood! They're awesome:)

Very large range of colours/finishes. Does what it claims too. Stays on. Highly pigmented. I love every single one of these I own and look forward to owning more.

I have colours; snob (a pale pink), fast play (kylie jenner ish colour) and MAC red (pretty self-explanatory) and I just am always wanting more. These are the best lipsticks I have ever used and nothing else compares in my opinion. They are so pigmented, creamy, very long-wearing and also smell super good! Although they are on the expensive end of lipsticks, i think they are definitely worth it.

My first mac lipstick was a gift to me. A beautiful bright red. Love the colour. Wore it out to dinner for the night and it stayed on the whole night. Made my lips look soft made it look as tho they wernt dry. have already brought 3 more hehe have reccomendeed to friends and deffo did what it said it would

I chose MAC lipstick for my wedding day. There was so many shades to choose from I got a nice natural shade with a hint of gold in it. It stayed on well lasting through most of the day . I think I reapplyed once before photos. I still use it now if I'm going out . Very moisturising and long wearing .

I have a few Mac lipsticks but my most favourite is Angel. On my lips I think it is very flattering and a beautiful colour that goes with my skin tone. I wear it with a slightly darker lip liner and the pair really compliment each other.
