Never have I had something so luxurious and elegant in the palm of my hand and it's all thanks to a lovely BR babe who allowed me to join the MAC Club. I am in awe of those who own a stock pile of these beauties in a tube. It would never have found it's way in to my hand because of the cost and my limited budget. The tube is uniquely MAC and I can instinctively point out a MAC lipstick from metres away. It has that curved top and that full black tube which makes it chic and fashionable no matter what trends come in or back in I should say.
The magic appears when you open that bad boy and wind up that highly pigmented bit of goodness. I smelt it first and oh what a heavenly sweet smell. It doesn't give off that yuck chemical smell that cheaper brands do. Next comes the gliding it on my lips and that is just as heavenly. The velvety smooth feeling and the effortless way it just goes on. I don't even have to gloss up afterwards because it's neither matte nor gloss it's in the middle and suits me perfectly. I love how it doesn't dry my lips out and it keeps them nourished and supple all day long. I had to reapply twice in the five hours I was out and oh what a time and product savior that is. I usually find myself reapplying at least 5 times in five hours with other lipsticks but not MAC. I am so happy to finally be a part of this club and vow to buy more in all of my favourite colours.....swoon.
As someone who hates high maintenance I long avoided lipsticks. After trying 3 different shades of matte finish MAC lipsticks I'm converted. They apply easily, stay put, and the colour stays strong for a good couple of hours through drinking & eating. Doesn't dry lips out either. I don't always use liner as it doesn't really need it.
Tips: MAC offer a free replacement when you bring in 6 empty ones so don't throw them away!
