Love MAC

MAC have a large range of lipsticks and everyone I have tried on has been an amazing formula. They have all the colors I could think of and are still coming out with more. They apply smooth and even onto your lips. They are very long lasting provided you aren't planning to have a big meal.

Tips: Using a lip liner helps to improve the look, make it look more tiny and last longer.

I cant believe I havent Reviewed this yet!!

Mac Lippies are my all time favourite go to product! I love the vanilla scent and the Amplified finish is my favourite, the only finish I am not crazy about is the Frost. I like to order mine from Maccosmetics.com saves so much money! In my collection so far I have 7, St Germain, Pure Heroine, Candy Yum Yum, Goddess of the Sea, Viva Glam Rhianna, Rebel, and my new ultimate fave Kelly Yum Yum!!!

Tips: Watch out for fakes!! - Mac is probably one of the most counterfeited brands in the world! If a deal seems to good to be true, trust me it will be!! Authentic Mac is only ever sold at Mac counters. They do not sell old stock to online dealers as brand protection and reputation is very important to Mac!

Thanks ladies! It is definitely worth saving up and placing an order on the US site, you can use you shop to get it to NZ for a fraction of the price - I have my next order all planned already - Just need to save up! :)

Love these lipsticks

I've purchased a few of these recently and adore the bright colour on the first swoop. I got MAC Red and it's so pigmented, it lasts a good few hours before wearing off and fades beautifully once it does.

I've got a few more colours in my wish-list. It's definitely worth the splurge!

Rebel

Purchased the rebel matte finish lippy from mac. WoW. Stays on all night, makes your lips look fuller and the colour really makes things go pop. Very happy with this product as most lippys smudge and i didnt have that problem with this.

Tips: apply a clear gloss for that perfect finish xO

I'm hooked, line and sinker!

Why oh why have I never tried MAC before. Oh yeah, I thought it was expensive. Well slap my face with a wet fish, was I wrong!!!

My beautiful friend Colleen sent me my very first MAC as a ROAK. Goodness me, was I blown away.

Anywhooos... The simple black box. Simple and pretty. Open it up and a wee bullet shaped lip stick falls out. Black with a silver stripe and MAC words. There is a shimmer in the black.

Pop the lid and silver canister with a black MAC logo. Wow they package them so nicely.

Twist it up and the colour (rebel) looks gorgeous. I swatched on my hand and wow. I'm in love already.

My first time at wearing it... Slides over my lips but sticks. It's like it sticks the colour hard on. The tip of the lipstick is very pointed which I love. I can get close into the Cupid's bow. The smell, gosh I can smell butterscotch and vanilla. Mmmm heaven.

Here is where I say lippys fall off my lips. They don't stay long.... Or so I thought! The pigment of this is amazing. It stayed all day. No touch ups. It doesn't dry my lips out. I'm in MAC heaven.

So my wee Colleen got me so hooked, off I trotted (couldn't swim there :( ) to buy 2 more!

The only negative I have is when they are all in my holder, I have no idea what colour is which unless I open or flip to read the bottom. No I'm not putting them in upside down, cause I love the shape so much.

Now I have found 2 amazing brands, I grabbed all my old lippys and binned the lot!

170+ shades... I've now got at least 20! with a couple more on the way! A lot of shopping for me coming up

Tips: Don't buy cheap lippys. Invest in these. Make sure you exfoliate so the lips look kissable and not flakey

Everyday Lipstick

I love the texture of MAC lipstick, it's creamy enough to feel light and hydrating, but not so much that you feel it's going to slide right off. It'll last for hours every time, and without drying out your lips.

It has a mild but tasty smell, and comes in a huge variety of colours. The only negative aspect is a the price, but if that doesn't put you off it really is a lipstick for everyone.

Tips: Buy it online rather than in New Zealand, half the price means better value.

Mac lipsticks

Mac lipsticks are honestly my fav!! Have the best range of colours for whatever you would prefer. Which is good that you are able to choose colours that go well with with your skin tone with their wide range. They're so creamy and glide on so well and smoothly! Would buy all of them if I could! And let's not forgot about the scent! Smells like vanilla <3 all round love the lipsticks.

Love!

I have 4 mac lipsticks. Taupe, Velvet Teddy, Rebel & Ruby woo. I love the consistency of them all. Ruby woo would have to be my favourite. It is ultra matte but if applied after a lip balm I don't find it drying at all and it lasts all day. Velvet Teddy is the perfect nude, Taupe is a perfect 90's brown lipstick & rebel is the most amazing colour! So worth the money!!

Mac cremesheen in the shade Creme cup

Good nice smelling product, goes on smoothly and lasts for hours, it's a nice pale pink almost nude shade, so it's good if you want to go for the nude trend but have a fear of your skin matching the lipstick! It has a nice gloss also

Tips: If you tend to have dry lips, I would probably recommend to use a lip scrub beforehand, as it makes dry lips quite noticeable, otherwise it's fine!
