MAC Lipstick Review

I love the range of colours available in MAC lipsticks and they go on nice and smooth with good pigment. I find them to be very drying on my lips. I exfoliate, moisturise and drink plenty of water but MAC lipsticks still leave my lips dry when others don't. I also find that others last much longer and don't come off so easily when I eat. I think they are alright for the price but if another brand had the same colour then I would buy that instead even if it cost me $5 more.

MAC have a fantastic range of lipsticks, and the colours on offer are fantastic! It goes on really soft and easy, has a great creamy feel. But I do wish that it lasted longer, it just seemed to come off too quickly compared to some other lipsticks that I own, that are from 'cheaper' brands.

im gonna say all the fuss made over mac i thought they would be amazing and id be hooked but that wasn't the case ill admit their lipsticks are okayyyyy but i much rather prefer my wet n wild ones over the mac, they bleed like crazy i find and they wear off too quick for the price you pay! wet n wild are $3 off beautyjoint and have heaps of dupes for the mac lipsticks. high end brands are not always the better ones i find. i tried the mac 'rebel' one

i love love love MAC lippies, i have been very addicted to buying alot of these lately and they are a staple to my makeup collection. my favorite shades are Heroine, Hue, Candy Yum Yum & Saint Germain. They are extremely pigmented, have staying power on the lips with insane color pay off :) they arent drying or irritating and the vanilla scent is nice.

After hearing all the fuss and hype about MAC lippies, it was only a matter of time before I buckled and bought one. I purchased it on sale, which was a huge bonus as the RRP is pretty steep for a lippy.

The colour I have is Candy Yum Yum. It's a bright, bright candy pink in a Matte formula.

Now, I love the colour; it's flamboyant and everything I'm drawn to in a lipstick shade. I'm a pink fan through and through, so it's perfect in that sense.

Where I am on the fence is the formula. When I apply it, I find that it's a mix of sheer and opaque - i.e it's an uneven finish. The matte-ness makes it quite dry, and it tends to give a 'cracked' appearance.

Now, I DO have drier lips than most, so this could be exasperating the effect, but in all honesty, compared to some other cheaper brands of mattes I have, I did expect more from the famous MAC.

I have not given up on it, however! It's just a little bit more high-maintenance to wear, so I need to prep and take a bit more care with it.

I would definitely purchase another MAC lipstick, but I think I'll avoid their Matte's. (Haha, depending on the colour. Colour comes first - right ladies?)

MAC definitely has the best colour range, however their matte collection, while it lasts fantastically, it is incredibly drying on the lips! i had dry lips for a few days afterwards...not worth it! Unfortunately their 'cult' colours, the really amazing shades like ruby woo, lady danger etc only come in matte, and not in their other collections!

Well this is awkward, it seems I'm the black sheep in this MAC lipstick owning family.

Firstly, I own Honeylove, which is a Matte. I love the colour of this one! It's a gorgeous browny nude, a good alternative to Velvet Teddy for those with a fairer complexion.

I also own Modesty, which is a Cremesheen. This is the perfect every day 'your lips but better' colour, it suits so many people!

They do smell incredible, but the issues I have with these lippys are: 1) The matte formula is incredibly drying (duh, Sarah) no, but more drying than other mattes in my collection 2) The matte also leaves that dreaded filthy ring around the inner rim of my lips *dry retches* 3) The cremesheen formula is super creamy (again, duh Sarah) but it wears off in what feels like minutes. I feel like I have to reapply 6704 times per day 4) The price tag, $40? Phwoar!

I just feel like I have other lippys that perform the same, for half the price, if not less. MAC is great because they have a seemingly unlimited selection of lippys, so if you can't find a colour/finish in other brands, you might have luck finding it with them, however, I will be looking at more affordable brands in future before looking at MAC.

I will still be going to MAC for all my other loves though! Tehe.

I own the lipstick Creme Cup, which is a creme sheen finish, and to be honest, I was actually quite disappointed. These lipsticks are so hyped everywhere, and I actually can not see why. I think the formular is quite thick and not very comfortable to wear. Furthermore i do not think these are very long lasting. According to me, they are too expensive. You do not get what you pay for.

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.
