In love.

I bought the limited edition Pure Heroine shade for my school ball and it is FLAWLESS. Though I love my matte finish lipsticks and this one isn't a matte finish, the colour is long lasting, it doesn't dry my lips out (usual hassles of lipsticks for me) and it's just. It's awesome. Really worth the little bit extra money :)

Tips: Buy as many as you can in a short space of time lol

so many shades to choose from!

You can do no better than a matte ruby woo! or rebel. My two favourites by far. Mac have such a great range you can find a match for any skin tone, occasion . you name it they have it. The only thing I get upset about is when i run out of a limited edition lip colour and have to find a similar match elsewhere !

Tips: Lip balm lips then lip line full lip before putting lip colour on for long lasting effects.

Variety!

Mac has a wide range of top quality lipsticks. If you like a matte, semi matte, sheer or gloss, MAC has you covered. As a girl with a deeper skin tone, MAC provides me with a variety of suitable colours that are highly pigmented. I would recommend this to anybody who hasn't tried it. You seriously don't know what your missing out on.

Tips: If you are unsure of what colours would suit you or if you just want to check the quality just go up to your nearest MAC counter and ask one of the artists to help you try a few colours on.

BEST LIPSTICKS EVER

I love my MAC lipsticks. There are so many colours to choose from, you slowly find yourself building up a collection. My favourites are Lady Danger, Media and Twig.

Most of the lipsticks stay on all day, with very few touch ups. This does depend on the finish of the lipstick. The only problem is is that some of the matte lipsticks can be very drying.

They are so pigmented, no other lipstick I have tried has come even close to how much I love my MAC lipsticks. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is after an eye catching colour.

Tips: Lining your lips when using darker colours is always helpful, as well as putting on a different coloured lipliner, or mixing lipstick colours to create a different look!

These lipsticks are the best

Such a range of colours and finishes - it is all a bit bewildering. I felt like a kid in a lolly shop when visiting the MAC store in Santa Monica. Not only will MAC have exactly the shade you wish for, but there will be a matt, satin or lustre finish to complement your look. The lipstick itself appljes smoothly and evenly straight from the bullet or using a brush. Depending on the finish you can expect very good staying power, with one or two touch-ups required during a day's wear. Pigments are rich and true, a single swipe yields good coverage. I do notice a little feathering of colour into fine line around my lips, but hey, I am in my forties, I am going to have to work a little harder on my surface prep! MAC lipsticks smell divinely of chocolate and vanilla. The cases are sturdy and durable yet stylish. I bought five lipsticks for myself and five more for my daughter and her friend. Rebel (dark fuschia) Russian Red (blue-based red) Goddess of the Sea (radiant orchid) Viva Glam V (lustrous peach nude) Lush Life (plum)

The best lipsticks on the market

I have tried pretty much every lipstick brand known to man. MAC, well done. The texture, range of colours and finishes and longevity of these lipsticks will always make them my ultimate favourite. Huge selection of nudes for every skintone, as well as your more daring deep purples, reds and browns. So easy to apply with no-fuss bullet packaging.

Tips: You can get a free one of these babies when you bring six boxes of used MAC product packaging to any MAC store. Score!

I <3 Mac Lipsticks

I LOVE MAC lipsticks! I have tried many different kinds and have found these to be my absolute favourite. I believe that they have the best colour range, especially for someone like me who loves to wear bright and colourful lips, and the staying power is also like no other. It is far too hard for me to decide what my favourite shade would be, but currently I have been wearing Pure Heroine, Media and Morange the most. You must get your hands on at least one! I promise you will be come addicted.

Tips: I tend to find the matte lipsticks to be drying, so tend to to apply a lip balm before hand to keep my lips nice and smooth.

MAC Lipstick

LOVE LOVE LOVE MAC lipsticks. So many colours to choose from to match any outfit or current mood. A make up bag and hand bag essential.

Tips: I use my lipsticks along with a clear lip gloss for even more shine. I also find if you apply the lip stick in 2 coats you get longer wear out of it. In between the first and the second coat lightly dab/brush lips with some pressed powder. You will have luscious lips for hours!

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! :)
