The hype is real!!

I used to believe Mac was just a brand that was way too overhyped and ridiculously expensive, and whilst I still believe their products are not exactly kind to our wallets, the quality of their products definitely live up to their name!

Admittedly, I have never bought Mac lipsticks myself, but have luckily been gifted two: "A24 Fetish" in a Frost finish, and "AA4 Flat Out Fabulous" in a Retro Matte finish. Fetish is a russet brown colour with a very distinct sheen. It's definitely a 90s grunge kind of look, and is unfortunately not something I would go for. Of course, FOF is your classic bright fuchsia with a purple base. It actually really reminds me of Australis' Velourlips in the shade "Shang-hi", so if you're looking for a more affordable liquid dupe, just a heads up!

Hands down, Mac lipsticks have the best longevity by far, and paired with a lipliner underneath, it can practically last through any eating or drinking. Obviously, there will be fading, but never to the point where it's distinct.

Despite the price, it is such an amazing investment and so worth it. I am definitely going to get more in the future (once I've stopped crying over the price).

Tips: pair it with a lipliner and your lips are practically set for the day!

Velvet teddy

It is such a beautiful colour and applies smoothly to my lips. It finishes matte and looks incredible on the lips! I got mine in america so it was $17 but here they're $40 which is the only downside but its worth the money 100%

Tips: Use any lip liner you don't have to buy the matching one xx

Forever buying MAC lippies

I love my mac lipsticks so much! I would highly recommend to anyone umming and ahhing over buying one. The $40 that they cost are most definitely worth it. A majority of my lipstick collection consists of Mac.

Tips: You don't have to use a mac lip liner or even the same colour lip liner. I use drug store lip liners and I mostly use nude under any lipstick.

First and definitely not the last

My first ever Mac lippie is in the shade Faux, and since I'm a newbie to make up, especially lipsticks, it was the perfect nude shade with a slight pink hue that is perfect for everyday use. It's creamy texture doesn't dry out your lips, but because it's creamy, the lip colour does transfer, thought most of the colour stays on your lips! It was the first time I spent $40NZD on a lipstick, but it was worth it and I would definitely purchase another lippie again.

Love love love!

I looooveee these lipsticks!so many shades and finishes to choose from and they last really well too! Twig and verve are my faves right now! I have a problem with them bleeding a little bit on my lips so if anyone has any tips to prevent that from happening let me know!

Tips: Use a lip scrub before application to get a smooth finish!

LOVE

Mac lipsticks are amazing. The cremesheens are easily applied, they smell delicious and stay on all day. So pigmented! Definitely worth the money for a quality lippy.

Tips: Lip scrub used prior to application for smooth lips.

An Investment

MACs reputation for quality is backed up each time I purchase a new colour. The majority are packed in their signature black matte bullet & you know you have an authentic MAC lipstick when you smell the uniform vanilla scent. Colour payoff is fabulous & what I feel sets MAC apart from others for me is the longevity on the lip. Colour palette is huge & there will be options for all ages. At $40NZD, these are pricey, but if you are like me, I will use these until they're gone, rather than other brands that collect in your makeup drawer.

Tips: Use with a lip liner to enhance your look & for an even longer lasting result. Exfoliate the lips if using the drier matte Ruby Woo
