MAC Lipstick Review

I had used Mac lipsticks before by 'borrowing' my friends' but this would count as the first one I properly OWN. And boy do I love it! I'm usually not a purply, bold lips kinda gal, but I thought I'd give it a try after doing lots of research. This color is a little more vibrant on me than on Lorde (most likely because of my pale skin). It applies super smoothly and the finish is somewhere in the middle between matte and glossy. It stays amazingly throughout the day and does not crease in my 'lip wrinkles', which is a big plus for me. Only thing I'm not happy about is the price of it in New Zealand, but if you consider it a 'highend' lipstick then it's fair I guess. I'm keen to buy a matte one next, perhaps Taupe or velvet teddy since they both suit my skintone quite well.

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

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.

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

Applies really easily, nice scent/smell and longwearing. I have velvet teddy, shanghai spice and a viva glam lipstick and they have all been amazing!

I love that Mac lipstick comes in many different shades and textures. The thing is my lip easily to dries out. When I use Mac Lipstick in the morning by the time in Afternoon my lip start to feel uncomfortable dry even though I had scrub and moisturiser my lip.

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!!

Just brought my first MAC lipstick duty free, so many colours to choose from, colour I chose was nice, stayed on pretty well and felt quite moisturising. With the large choice of lipstick brands on the market can't stay I'd rush out to buy MAC as a first choice.

To start, this IS a good lip stick, however I just personally wouldn't be bothered spending that much money on this lipstick, it's simply not THAT incredible (that being said it is a very good lip stick I just feel you can get better quality for your money). But I do love some specific colours and would definitely purchase again for specific colours!

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.
