Classic

MAC lipsticks are classics. Right from walking up to the MAC counter, you are immersed into this world of lipsticks, with so many colours and finishes laid out in front of you.

I originally was looking at a Matte lipstick, but ended up with a Satin one. The lipstick goes on creamy and smooth, but retains a relatively matte look. Like most lipsticks overtime it can get a little drying, but overall this lipstick does a decent job at not affecting lip hydration.

The lipstick also last a reasonable amount of time. Maybe around 4 hours.

In terms of packaging, its nothing exciting, but is a perfectly functional bullet lipstick.

What I love most about MAC is their huge range in lipsticks, what I like least about MAC is the price.

Tips: If you or your friends are going overseas check the duty free and overseas prices.

Velvet Teddy Review

I love this shade of lipstick. I wear it on a regular basis as an everyday colour as it isn't too out there and can go with most makeup looks. I love the nude colours but it doesn't give you the 'foundation lips' look as it is a slightly darker nude. I will definitely be buying this again when I run out.

You won't look back!

My first time ever visiting M.A.C was earlier this year. Right?! What took me so long!!! A friend said to me 'you need to buy a M.A.C lippy, you will love it!'.... Sure sure.

Well I never! I now own 2 and have a wishlist of 13 of them. I have Dark Side which is a deep burgundy and comes in the amplified finish. A creamy stick which glides on perfectly and is super pigmented. No need to build the colour up as it's there from the first swipe. This shade bleeds a little but match it with a lip pencil and it works beautifully.

I also have Rebel. This is my go to shade a perfect plum purple. Looks amazing on its own or with a full glam makeup look. Creamy and soft, beautifully pigmented. This comes in the 'satin' finish.

I find they aren't long wearing, especially when you're eating and drinking etc so make sure you pop it in your purse/handbag to take with you so you can do touch ups when necessary :)

I love these lipsticks, I'm super thankful to my friend who introduced them to me! At $40 a pop my collection will grow but slowly lol.

Candy yum yum

Only have 1 colour but it vibrant goes on smooth and wears well. I do prefer liquid lipsticks but would repurchase. Quite pricey though!

Stone and Diva

Favourite matte formula by far!! I find that when I apply it, there can be some rough edges but nothing a lipliner can't fix. Can be overly drying and tends to crumble a bit.

Tips: Scrub your lips ! ! ! ! !

Never going back

These lipsticks last so long to the point where if I don't take them off at night, they'll still be on in the afternoon the next day. I am in love with this lipstick and would recommend to everyone. It's not streaky and you don't have to apply too much, therefore giving value for price

Ruby Woo-Hoo

Ruby Woo is currently my first and only Mac lipstick. It sticks really well, but can be a little drying. Using a good lip conditioner before hand and also a lip scrub can make it last better.

When applying (as with any lippy) make sure not to accidentally smudge it on your skin, otherwise it can be rather hard to take off!

I will deffo be getting more!!

Tips: Can smudge a little bit, make sure to use a lip-liner and blot it!

New Love

I love MAC lipsticks, the simple black packaging, the colour choice is huge and highly pigmented, they are creamy and moisturising and easy to apply with out a brush. My favourite thing about MAC lipstick is there is no cakey makeup smell to them. Would highly recommend.

Tips: Wear a lip linner to stop and bleeding or colour.

Mac Lipstick!

I have the Mac Rebel lipstick, It's matte and stays on for ages! Even out lasts when you drink and doesn't smudge at all. The colours are so nice too!

Tips: Because it's matte you can still use lip balm underneath it so it doesn't make your lips look dry!

Worth the hype

Mac lippies are good, they have excellent pigment and a shade and formula to suit everyone, from matte through to glossy it's all available.

The price itself isn't to bad either, yes it's up there at $40 but when compared to brands like loreal it's actually not that much more expensive to have a luxury brand in your make up bag.

All Mac lipsticks come in a classic black bullet shaped tube and have Macs signature vanilla cupcake type scent which is not overpowering.

They apply really nicely, if your lips are dry then use a lip scrub first or run your toothbrush over your lips and probably best to use a more hydrating formula like a cremesheen.

Everybody should try at least one.

Tips: Save your empties! Mac offers 'back to mac' where you return 6 empties (doesnt have to be lipstick) and in return they give you a choice of either a free lipstick or eyeshadow in selected colours.
