I have been through many MAC lipsticks in lots of different colours! The two shades I use most recently are 'Please Me' and 'Kinda Sexy'. This lipstick is long lasting - The only touch ups I usually need are after eating - and doesn't taste too bad either!

Tips: Definitely put on some lip balm/conditioner before applying this lipstick as dry, cracked lips are obvious, uncomfortable and not pretty!
No makeup collection is truly complete ( Although, girls let's be honest we never stop hoarding) until you own at the very least, one MAC lipstick. Not only is the simplistic beautiful black bullet packaging symbolic but also contains the cherry on top to any makeup look. Although I find there are many dupes to MACs 'exclusive' and 'one of a kind' colours, no lipsticks you find at the drugstore could ever compare to the colour pay off and texture of these pure gems. My favourite finishes are amplified and cremesheens and my least would be a frost finish (Although Angel is in my top 5 favourite and is classified as a frost) They last all day, rarely fade and although some are a hit and miss such as their matte formulation as it can be drying; such the lipstick in the shade Ruby Woo, they are a must have for any makeup lover's makeup collection.
Tips: Pick up these lipsticks for a perfect look on any occasion: Daytime Look: Angel Sexy Night Time Look: RiRi Woo Fun Summer Look: Candy Yum Yum Cold Winters Day Look: Rebel
I own tonnes of these beauties but I have to say my favourites would have to be - Rebel - Craving - Modesty.
These are the most long wearing lipsticks I have owned. For a lazy re-applier like me this is great because i only have to do about one touch up and thats towards the end of the day. This lipstick is quite pricey at $40 each but to me the price is no deal breaker for long wearing, moisturising and amazing colour selections screams a winner to me.
I love the different variety of finishes, with Satin being my favourite. Its so silky smooth, beautiful gloss but not overly wet and shiny. This range really aims to please every customer in the market with lipsticks ranging from shimmer to matt and some glossy finishes to those lovers.
I dont think I'm going to be changing my lipstick brand anytime soon and will definitely just keep expanding my collection:)
Tips: Every girl needs a Rebel in her purse!
I love love love mac lipsticks. They are always super pigmented and in beautiful shades! The classic simple black packaging is lovely and they smell divine. A must have in your collection. They don't bleed and last a good amount of time (even with eating and drinking). I own four shades; Rebel, Russian red, Violetta and Snow orchid. My favourite of the four would probably be rebel (It's a hard choice though as all the shades are just amazing!). The only downside to the sleek packaging is not being able to see the shade names or colours when they are sitting in my lippy holder.
Mac lipsticks are always so pigmented! They go on your lips nice, are never drying and have great staying power. They are a little pricey but so worth the money for the quality!!
I love my MAC Retro Matte lippies - I have the Riri Woo, Heaux and Boy...my favs are the red! Love the staying power, no bleeding and the fact they are very moisturising - my lips don't dry out with these, very pigmented as well. Will be buying more on my next trip to the States.
Tips: Apply/blend with a lip brush, barely need a touch up even with eating through the day.
I have a couple of tried and true shades that I love. My fav is Amplified Impassioned. It's such a stunning creamy bold pink, goes on and stays on like a dream. I purchased a handful of shades in the states and the price difference is catastrophic so it is a little bit soul destroying paying as much as we do here - however in saying that i wholeheartedly believe it is worth the extra money. I'd be hard pressed to choose between MAC and Limecrime.
Ruby Woo is divine, in the Retro Matte finish it stays put without dehydrating your lips. Bright, flattering and good for day or night - I love it! I really struggled to find a good red, but this will be my staple from now on.
I've always been a red lipstick wearer since doing dance competitions when I wars younger, so I always like to have a good red lippy on hand. I bought Ruby Woo last year, and can honestly say it's not my favourite purchase! Yes, the colour is amazing. Yes, it stays on for ages. But unfortunately it just goes horribly dry and feathers on my lips, even when I use a lip balm and lip liner.
I bought my first mac lippy around 2 weeks ago in the shade 'please me' which is a lovely mutual pinky tone that is easy to wear, this shade is in the matte section although there are many to choose from-matte is my favorite. Its a beautiful creamy formula that goes on easy,tastes delicious and lasts all day, I really only have to touch up once as I had just eaten. I love mac lippy and will be definitely buying more!
Tips: Make sure you wear some chap stick underneath, lipstick never goes on well with dry lips!
