Can't go wrong

Can't go wrong with MAC! These lipsticks are just perfect. The packaging looks super high end and classy and just wonderful. Nothing looks as good as a lipstick holder full of MAC. and the wear, uuuh. Its hard to find matte lipsticks that dont crease or flake or dry your lips like crazy. But these are like putting cream on your lips, and its matte! and there is soooo many shades to choose.

The price, not so pretty :/

MAC Lipsticks

Honestly the best lipsticks I have tried! Slightly pricey but I don't mind treating myself every now and again! The shades are incredible, perfect for every occasion and skin tone, and its really handy that you can swatch them in store too! I own a lipstick called Neon Orange: it is a beautiful orangey/red (not actually neon). I find it does have a good staying power when on the lips, but you will have to touch up the odd time, especially after eating, drinking and talking too much (:

Worth the Price!

These are by far my favorite lipsticks of all time! The shade range is beyond amazing, there is a formula for everyone, and they are great quality…like most Mac products! My Favorite Formulas

Matte- Drying but last for ages on the lips..i'm talking around 4+ hours from personal experience. My favorite: Please Me- A super wearable pink for all skin tones.

Retro Matte- These are VERY drying, and tricky to apply, but the result is amazing and they stay on forever! Super opaque…like none other! My Favorite: Ruby Roo- A vibrant red, that I'm sure you have all heard about.

Satin- These are fairly matte but a lot less than the matte and retro matte range. This is one of the best in my opinion, as they last along time on the lips, without being to drying, and give a little bit of sheen. My Favorites: Myth- THE BEST NUDE EVER ( but very nude..be warned) Rebel- Looks great on so many people, and is by far the best deep purply, plumy color I have come across.

Amplified- These colors are super bold! Very opaque and fun, but I do not believe there are many shades in this range available. My favorite: Impassioned- A bright pink…more on the reddish side. The only vibrant pink that I love!

Amplified Creme- These are amazing! Smooth, pigmented, glossy! Don't last to long on the lips, but that is to be expected. My favorite: Vagas Volt- A great coral orange! If you like corals you will love this one!

Cremesheen- Everyone loves these... they will not fail you! Really pigmented, and glossy! Can not go wrong with these. My favorite: Creme d' nude- Really nice wearable nude, one of my everyday lip colors!

MAC Lipsticks!

These lipsticks are to die for!! I have three of these so far but i plan on purchasing a lot more in the near future! Personally, I like the cream sheen finishes the best, just because I find that they are more creamy and some of the other finishes can be slightly drying These lipsticks are a little bit pricey but I believe that they are defiantly worth the price if you find a good shade that you will get lots of use out of! xx

I think mac lipsticks are perfect :)

Having already a few mac lipsticks, i feel they are highly pigmented and and very vibrant on the lips. They do not dry out the lips and will not wear out throughout the day. For 40.00 i feel it is a product that is worth the price. Also they have an exceptional range of colours from morange to rebel to even nudes, dark tones and bright tones. It is definetly worth a purchase if you want highend lipsticks :). I know because i own rebel and morange and think they are just simply awesome.

Viva Glam II lippy

I just love my Mac lipsticks. Viva Glam II and brave are my faves with their satin finish. This finish is the best, so velvety and moisturising, I wear mine everyday. Love the colour range but always prefer satin textures and keep coming back to these two favourite colours!

Tips: Buy Duty free

Love

A lipstick I do love and have a few colours, 1 I have is the same colour as a lime crime lipstick I have too but I prefer the Mac as it's not as creamy and if your anything like me and seem to rub lips a lot due to the creamy texture a lot then Mac is the way to go. I was disappointed in 1 colour for not having the pigmentation or build up but was a collection lipstick and it's still ok just don't wear it much. They are amazing though and worth the price at the end of the day.

MAC lipsticks

I have used few of these lipsticks and they are to die for. Disappointed they test on animals so won't be buying any anymore. Broke the bank when I was going crazy on MAC lippys. I will use what I have left and hopefully in the future they will be cruelty free so I can purchase from them again :) My favourite shade is a pink they make called 'Candy yum yum'.

Perfect lipsticks!

I do not buy that many MAC products. But without fail, I am a sucker for MAC lipsticks and can't seem to go past anything else! I do really have a loyalty for MAC lipsticks.

My favourite finishes are the Matte, Cremesheen, Amplified, and Amplified Creme. The Matte lipsticks are exactly what they say they are. For Mattes the bright colours and reds are great because they really pop and have a nice fresh finish if you like that look. I wouldn't recommend a completely Matte nude though, I have one but I find that I have to apply lipstick over top as it looks a bit like foundation (but that may just be the shade). I think that the Amplified ones are perfect as they have a slight sheen to them without being too shiny and glossy so they really highlight your lips!

These lipsticks have a fantastic formulation. They last for ages and have great staying power! Sometime I can apply the bright colours with lip liner and they can last all night with only tiny touchups. They also apply really smoothly.

Another positive is how the lipsticks don't dry out your lips. I am addicted to lipbalm and cannot handle having dry lips, but with the MAC lipsticks I don't need to use lipbalm as they are quite moisturising!

One downside is the price. I feel that $40 is pretty good for what you get as the lipsticks are good quality and last a while, but you can get cheaper lipsticks for half - a third of the price which are pretty much just as good!

My favourite colours are: Impassioned Girl About Town - The girl in the store recommended this one as I was looking for a very bright pink and when I saw it i didn't like the look of it but once applied it is a great hot pink/fuschia! Morange The reds are great classics but the name of my red has rubbed off!
