I finally bought my first MAC, the price in NZ is horrendous! Anyway, I got the pro longwear series, and the colour I got was Soft Sell. I actually asked the counter lady for a colour that's a shade darker than my lips, and this was the colour she picked for me, and am I in love! The colour is very natural and not OTT that I wear this at work everyday. (I also got the colour "prolong" which is a red-red) The best part is this colour means when it fades due to eating and drinking, it doesn't look faded, and I can pull off not having to reapply until after lunch,. The only down side was that it's not very moisturising (however it glides on smoothly) I usually salvage it by topping it with Vaseline. Gotta collect them all!

Tips: The closer they are to your lip colour the least obvious that it's faded - stretches its use
My first ever MAC Lipstick was given by my husband just a month ago. He got me 2 lippies from the Osbourne collection, the nude one(forgotten the shade, sorry) and bright pink (Kelly Yum) which is fabulous in every single way.
1. Packaging is amazing! it is so catchy, and who wouldn't love a purple packaging anyway? 2. Kelly yum is my favourite as it very very very pigmented and long-lasting! 3. I always get great compliments whenever I am wearing either the nude or pink lippy from this loveable collection. 4. They were from my hubby! :))
I fell in love with MAC lipsticks after I bought my first one two years ago. It was in the shade "snob" and is probably one of my favourite shades to date. I love the extent of the colours that they offer. I guess my only complaint is the texture of them. They are really drying so I find using something else with them is usually best, whether its a primer, lip balm or a gloss over top. I just cant stand it when my lips get all flaky from wearing it.
Tips: Take it with you, when heading out! You will need to re-apply!
almost all my lippies are from MAC with the exception of one Bobbie Brown i got on a whim. I love how pigmented MAC lipsticks! going to a MAC counter is like going to candy store, so many colors and finishes to choose from! i find that MAC lipsticks are a bit drying to the lips but i am absolutely willing to ignore that. my favorites are rebel and ruby woo. Its always the finishing touch whenever i want to dress up.
Love MAC products. Which is why I have a few of these lipsticks that I wear regularly and really like. Saint Germaine which is amplified coral chick which is a frost and a satin one which name I can't read its that old.
It's awesome that these lipsticks come in different textures. I love the effect that has to a look. What I was disappointed with is how easy it is to find much cheaper brands with the same result.
This however has not stopped me from ordering Mac heroine ..
Tips: Be aware of the texture your using.
I was given my first mac lipstick from an amazing BR member, and I am in love with it!
I have the shade Patissere, which is a great everyday nude shade. The colour is highly pigmented, and you only need a couple of swipes of the lipstick to achieve full coverage. The lipstick smells nice, and comes in a classy black tube. The lipstick winds up and down easily, and there is a good amount of product in the tube. It is strong, and does not feel like it is going to snap, or break, unlike some other lipsticks ive had in the past.
As with most lipsticks it does seem to wear off a little bit, while eating & drinking, but that is to be expected, so make sure you always carry your chosen shade for the day in your handbag so that you can reapply it if needed.
Overall I would definitely recommend getting your hands on one of these lippys, especially if your a mac virgin! I always thought mac was to expensive to buy, UNTIL i was given this lipstick, now I am absolutely sold on it, and will definitely be buying more in the future :)
We all know MAC has a big name and with it a huge reputation to live up to. Luckily these lipsticks do the trick! My favourites so far are 'Creme Cup' and 'Creme d'Nude'. Both are highly pigmented with great staying power and a nice scent. I think they're worth the price.
Tips: Get your hands on a clear lip liner. That way you can match it to any lipstick!
Some of my favourite lipsticks are MAC ones, even though they're pricey in NZ I do believe they are worth it (or just use a forwarding service to get them from America!) I own 1 matte, viva glam I, and on me it isn't THAT drying. I have super dry lips so I do tend to try keep my lips as smooth and hydrated as I can. It's a beautiful colour and amazing pigmentation and a very nice wear time. Satin finishes are probably my favourite, almost as good wear time as matte's but nowhere near as drying. Lustre is another of my fave, glossy and a bit sheer, but can be built up to a more opaque look. I recently bought a cremesheen (yesterday) and I love it! I got the colour Creme Cup and I think it's beautiful and looks nice on the lips.
Tips: Exfoliate lips and moisturise! Blot, and reapply for longer lasting colour.
MAC are winning in every lipstick they make from matte to metallic they have it all! At $40 they are a little steeper then your average lippy but your sure get a lot more for your buck. I own several MAC lipsticks and swear by them! Especially the Matte range the wear on this is literally all day even after eating and drinking they are still stuck reasonably well. The colours across all the ranges are so vibrant and they literally have a type and colour to suit every one and every need. All I can say is go buy one! you wont regret it :)
Tips: Ask to test it store all the MAC staff are so lovely and helpful and its always good to see if you like the colour and texture before you buy as there are so so many to choose from
Mac lipstick i find very debatable whether this product is good or not. Mac has a good range of colors for their lipsticks and they are definitely good, however you can buy the same color from somewhere else for half of the costs! not to mention mac lipstick comes off quite easy. the lipstick itself though is very easy to wear and isnt too thick which is good.It is nice on your lips. I just find this product very pricey
