Mac Lipstick

i honestly absolutely LOVE the mac lipsticks ! they are a holy grail product , and definitely continue purchasing them . they last for so long , the formula is long lasting , and very pigmented , so the colour is very prominent and true to what it looks like in the lipstick tube . not drying on the lips either which is a huge bonus . there are so many colours to choose from , such a range , so there will definitely be one for you !

Never thought I'd wear a bright red lipstick

I have a pale, pinky complexion and have spent my life staying away from all things bright red. That is until I tried MAC Ruby Woo for the first time. This is the perfect red lipstick for all skin tones and has a gorgeous matte finish. It stays on all day and looks amazing!

Tips: Be careful when taking sweatshirts off or putting them on that you don't rub them over your lips, because you will end up with bright red lipstick smudged all over your face! :)

If you like Ruby Woo, try Russian Red next time you visit the MAC counter - RR is blue based, and I find balances well with my pinky pale complexion :) They're my two fav reds!

Girl about town - amplified formula

Girl about town is absolutely insane. I love it so much! It's a violent blue based fuschia in amplified formula, so it is BRIGHT and it STAYS. It's blue based so makes teeth look pearly white. It's such a fab colour, a change up from my usual red! Love love looooove <3

the go to for lipstick the absolute best!!

i have too many shades of lipstick this is theai product mac delivers on whether their lipsticks are satin,frosted,matte or shimmery they last all day!the shades are true to their swatches and maintain that high pigment throughout the day. Personal favorites of mine are violetta,snob,candy yum yum and lady danger!the brighter the better. I could go on for pages about how great value these are!!i would rather pay more for the quality then paying cheap prices and having to keep reapplying throughout the day which means you would be using far more product!

Tips: keep your empty mac make up containers..lipsticks concealers...foundations swap six and you get to pick a FREE lipstick!!!

Love MAC!

Love MAC lipsticks as I'm a lipstick girl through and through. My face looks pasty and washed out without lipstick, I've actually had people as me if I'm sick if I'm not wearing it! That aside, I feel that the finish of MAC lipsticks really determine if you like them or not. For example, I have the shade 'hug me' at the moment which is a lustre finish and this barely lasts an hour on my lips. I can't wait to use it up and get rid of it! On the other hand I have brick-o-la (amplified) and 'just a bite' (satin) and these are great and long lasting on my lips. I feel MAC really do the stronger colours best but I'm not one for nude & neutral colours so other BR members may have better reviews regarding this. Love the bullet shape of the lippies, but one problem when you have several of them in your handbag, look closely as because the packing is largely all the same and it's easy to put the wrong colour on your lips!

long lasting smoothness

Mac lipsticks are one of my fav, they last all day on my lips and dont even leave the gooey line some people (i usually) get inbetween my lips. The colours are always a true match to what they look like when you are holding them which for most other lipsticks doesnt happen. Expensive but worth it.

Can't go wrong with this little gem

I have a couple of these in my lipstick hoard and they're by far some of my favourites. They're a little pricey for lipstick, but the purchase is well worth it.

The payoff on these little babies is amazing. They're creamy, moisturising and super pigmented. They also make for a great stain if you didn't want to reapply all the time.

Tips: Use a lip scrub before applying. I use a lip liner brush since I don't have many lip liner pencils, and rub it in with my finger once I've covered the whole lip. Blot and then reapply. Perfect stain!

You'll love them if you love the smell of Vanilla!

I have a small collection which consists of Viva glam 5, lollipop loving, creme'de'nude, rebel and Russian red. Smells good, lasts about 5 hours if I'm not drinking or eating, and doesn't bleed or sink too much into the lines on my mouth. I do love the smell.. Only downer is the PRICE~

Loves Affair

I used to hate wearing lipstick, the smell and taste (no I didn't eat it) then I was introduced to MAC by my friend who was a make up artist, and the love affair began! The signature vanilla scent is what really started it, as the smell of other lipsticks used to give me a headache. The texture is also really nice, I love the cremesheen formula sooooo creamy and smooth. I also really like that the colours available make me want to be more adventurous with my make up. Overall I really love all the Mac Lippies that I own.

Best reds around

Ah MAC, I do love you. When I jumped on the red lip bandwagon, I immediately went to MAC and spoke with their staff. They recommended a color that matches my skin tone perfectly and even makes my normally small mouth look luxurious (Russian Red, for those curious). Better yet, the lipstick goes on well, has amazing coverage, and lasts. Highly reliable and well worth the money.

Tips: Line and cover your lips with a lip pencil to keep your lipstick looking fresh and vibrant all day long!
