Pink Perfection

It's amazing how good a great Lipstick can make you feel! I just adore Pink Nouveau ! The perfect every day Pink.Lovely and creamy and with great staying power ! MAC lipsticks ticks all the right boxes

Tips: Use a bright pink lip liner to intensify your lipstick or pop on a coat of gloss over the top for a more Glamours look!

My First MAC Lippy - Snob

I was soooo excited because this was the first ever MAC product I've ever brought. However, I put it on for the first time yesterday afternoon... It was really opaque; which I love!!! BUT even though my lips were hydrated from lip balm, I found after about a couple of hours that my lips were really dry. Quite disappointed as I kind of expected more. Not going to let that stop me from trying more MAC products though :)

Ruby Woo!

I love mac lippy's. Ruby woo is my ultimate! Its a beautiful bold red in a flat matte colour. Always get comment on how babe'n I look in it and how much it suits me. Does dry my lips out a little bit though.

Tips: If you tend to get dry lips put a balm on underneath x

Must-haves!

I only have two Mac lipsticks both with a matte finish and I love them both. Not really in my price range why not splurge! I especially love the smell of them! <3

Tips: When using a matte lippy, apply a tiny amount of lip balm, (I use paw paw lip ointment balm) and then rub it off so your lips are moisturised but you still get the pigmentation of the lippy!

Pricey

I purchased my first MAC lipstick about 8 months ago in the colour "craving"

These lipsticks are quite expensive in NZ compared to the US. They have a wide colour range which varies in finishes from Matte to cream to satin etc.

Craving is very creamy and I have noticed it melts easier compared to my other lipsticks, however it applies very easy and creates a lovely, deep colour.

I don't think the lipstick lasts ages on my lips, but they do have amazing colours. But you could probably find much cheaper dupes.

Update: I now own about six of these, and I must admit I am very impressed. The colour range is beautiful, but I tend to go for shades that I don't think I could find anywhere else in dupe- or cheaper form!

The least favourite I own would have to be Crème De Nude. I am so disappointed to say that, I had heard many raving reviews about how awesome it was for fair skin and how it was the perfect nude! Unfortunately.. This was not the case for me, I found it didn't go opaque enough on my lips and looked streaky. I personally would not purchase this again, as it didn't live up to my expectations!

Morange is an unsual reddy-orange colour which I love! It is hard to wear, or find clothes that will match it. Therefor, I wouldn't recommend this if you're looking for an everyday lippy, spend your money on something more suitable! However, it is very creamy, easy to apply and stays on a decent amount of time!

Rebel, Impassioned and Diva are two that I love! They apply creamy, however you must be careful not to make a mistake as it can ruin your foundation! They are beautiful colours, and I would keep repurchasing. I believe they would suit so many different skin tones and hair colours etc!

The packaging is easy to use, just slip off the lid and twist the tube up. Be careful not to twist it too much as it can break! Also, keep them cool as they can melt easily!

Tips: Store in cool area, Don't twist too much up

Love this

I love this lipstick! It feels like its moisturising and gives a great look. I use this often. It's my go to lipstick. It's not sticky, doesn't stain your lips and I don't have to apply heaps.

Tips: Giving your lips a little buff first to get rid of any dry skin makes the finish much better creating a glossy, moisturised and smooth look

Never disappointed with Mac lippies

Great all round lippies! There is a colour and finish for everyone. Wear beautifully and as far as a non-longwear they stay on the lip for ages.

Come in the classic MAC quality black packaging and are very affordable for the quality. I enjoy the smell of these lipsticks too! Kind of remind me of my mummy's make-up when I was a little girl.

I find with some lipsticks you must line lips first however I never need to with the MAC lipsticks. The application is easy with or without a brush. Creates a definite line to the lip without bleeding. The Matte finished lipsticks are not too drying either!

I would recommend anyone looking for a lipstick of any shade or finish to check out the MAC range. I would be very very surprised if you did not find what you were looking for.

Liquidy

I found the lipsticks quite liquidy and didnt give much coverage. Don't stay on very well either which is a pain because they are such gorgeous colours

Tips: Apply a few layers

Vegas Volt Lipstick

I bought the MAC Vegas Volt Lipstick a while ago as i felt like a nice coral pink. It is exactly that and with the lip liner I bought with it, works amazingly! The formula is amplified so its creamy but not too creamy like a cremeshine lipstick. The colour does tend to bleed out if I don't wear a lip liner underneath it and i would recommend to use one with it but its not entirely necessary if you don't mind it not being perfect exactly. Overall it is a good product and would love to try out more colours and different formulas too :)

Tips: Just like any lipstick, ex-foliate and moisturise before use and also using a lip liner helps too with this product from bleeding out. Blotting the lips after one layer of lipstick with a tissue removes excess and looks nicer and adding more to increase the colour and blot away too just so the colour stays vibrant and lasts longer too
