If you had told me a few years ago that I would spend $40 on a lipstick and not feel guilty about it - I would totally be scoffing and rolling my eyes. MAC lipsticks have totally changed my lip game for sure.
I don't have many, only three, but the ones that I do have - Ruby Woo, Heroine and Viva Glam III are total perfection.
All three are different finishes - Retro Matte, Matte and Satin - so I was expecting variations in quality.. but boy was I wrong! Each of them are super pigmented and surprising (well, surprising for the retro matte) super moisturising.
They are all incredibly pigmented, and last for most of the day. I may need to touch up just after lunch, but that is all that I would need.
Normally I don't pay attention to the scents of lipsticks, but this is pretty awesome. It has a sweet vanilla scent - which is rad because I ADORE vanilla. It's not off putting at all.
MAC nails their packaging. It's sleek and easy to identify, you could call it iconic! I can easily find my lipsticks at the bottom of my handbag because their shape is like no other! They are easy to carry and to store because of this as well.
Overall, I'm happy that I've got this slow-growing addiction. I can't wait to add more to my collection!
These. Are. AMAZING! Absolute favorite lipsticks. I now own 8 of these beauties. Heroine, Ruby Woo, So Chaud, Snob, Candy Yum Yum, Blankety, Rebel, and of course Velvet Teddy with a huge list of names to purchase in the near future.
These smell amazing like vanilla. The packaging is to die for and look so high end.
The matte's are my favorite. I find they last me all day at work, even through meals etc.
Snob is a perfect every day color pale pink and you definitely need this in your makeup collection.
Ruby Woo is an amazing red. It is a very dry matte, some people may find it too drying but nothing a lip balm wouldn't fix.
I love the colour Blankety but i find it's too natural on my lips for me. Velvet Teddy stands out more.
So Chaud is totally under-rated. It's an orange-red. More on the orange side. It's a great statement color but it's not too over the top.
Candy Yum-Yum is a BRIGHT pink, not for the faint-hearted but if you can rock it then, you go girrrrrrl!
Which leaves Heroine. My absolute favorite! The most amazing purple. There hasn't been a day I've worn heroine and not received a compliment on it. It's so so perfect and would wear it every day if I could.
MAC lipsticks are a bit pricey but absolutely worth it, It took me awhile to stretch out and purchase one but now I'm completely addicted. Sin is next on my list :)
Tips: Some are better wearing if used with a lip-liner but not necessary.
