best lipstick ever!!!

I love mac lipsticks!!!! The colour range is amazing, the lipstick glides on easily! And it last on your lips for ages! I've tried a lot of lipsticks but always come back to macs range :)

Tips: To fix up the edges put a bit of concealer on a lip brush and go around the edges!

Saint Germain <3

Saint Germain is my favourite lipstick of all time! My friend recommended this colour to me and I love it, it's nourishing and creamy and goes with everything! Stunning pink tone!

Love this

I love this lipstick! It feels like its moisturising and gives a great look. I use this often. It's my go to lipstick. It's not sticky, doesn't stain your lips and I don't have to apply heaps.

Tips: Giving your lips a little buff first to get rid of any dry skin makes the finish much better creating a glossy, moisturised and smooth look

The only brand I'll buy

MAC is now the only lipstick brand I'll use. Best range of colours, easy to find your favourite shades, glides on smoothly, great staying power. Pricey, but so so so worth it.

MAC do lipsticks well!

I live for opportunities to wear a bold lip, and mostly reach for MAC lipsticks. Firstly, every girl should own Ruby Woo. It's the perfect red. I want to go put it on just talking about it! It's very matte and can be drying so your lips do need to be in tip top shape to apply.

The selection of colours is so vast! I have Ruby Woo, Lady Danger, Heroine and Please Me - but a wish list 3x that!

Heroine is so dreamy to apply, swipes on so easily and is the most divine and vibrant shade of purple. Please Me is another matte, it's a pink that goes well with my yellow/warm skin tone and colour is easily built up. Lady Danger, oh Lady Danger, she's bright, fierce and looooves attention.

Tips: Moisturise them lips 10 minutes before applying. Dab, than reapply, helps to maintain colour all day.

MAC Amplified Creme Lipstick - Blankety

I have to admit I am scared of lipsticks - So I am starting off rather safely and have been on the hunt for that perfect nude that is a 'my lips but better' colour - So I went to the MAC counter and found this little beauty! The amplified formula is beautifully creamy and feels phenomenal on the lips! I wear this buy itself or I pair it with a light pink lip gloss.

Pros - Creamy, good coverage, smells divine, perfect beige nude with a touch of pink. Cons - Not that long lasting but I did not expect it to be.

lip go to!

a girl can never have to many mac lipsticks. whilst im personally not a huge fan of their foundations, these are the only lipsticks i buy. I can choose wether i want something that wont budge all day.something sheer and moisturizing on my days off. something bright and fun and crazy when im going out. the possibilities are endless! and when i have 6 empties i take them on back and receive a newbie for FREE!!

Tips: apply a lip balm or primer before applying the matte or prolong wear range to stop flaking

MAC Lipstick

I only recently got on the MAC lipstick wagon and I am completely sold that they are worth the hype. I brought mine direct from MAC US so didn't get stung by the inflated prices here in NZ. I already have another cart full of shades I want to try.

The lipsticks I own are: Ruby Woo- a beautiful red that would suit most. It makes your teeth look ultra white and is super long lasting. It's formula is a matte and is quite dry but it's forgivable because it makes it easy to wear as it doesn't slip or slide.

Girl About Town- this one is awesome! It's a amplified formula. Bright pink, would suit most once again, one swipe gives a full on opaque colour and while being creamy it still is long lasting. This shade is my favourite out of my 4.

Twig- this is my grown up shade, it's a soft brown pink shade. It's a satin finish. This is very long lasting nd glides on perfectly. So easy to wear like all of them!

Creme Cup- this is a nude pink, it's my least favourite because it just doesn't suit me as much sadly (the problem with buying online!) but it's just as good quality. The shade would suit a lighter skin tone. I find it harder to pick out lighter shades for myself then I do dark!

The packaging is very high quality and the smell of these is a beautiful vanilla scent.

I can't wait to add to my collection!

I completely agree with your comment on it being more difficult to pick out lighter shades. I think all skin tones can pull off dark, whereas if you go too light, you can look washed out or unwell! Great review too :)

Worth every cent

Im a long term Mac user and this lipstick never disappoints! The pigment is strong and i find that it doesn't fade through the day as much as cheaper lipsticks do. The smell is amazing for an extra bonus !

purchased yesterday based on reviews.

I purchased Cremesheen Creme Cup a nude pink yesterday based on the reviews. I'm not sure about the shade, but it's outside my normal comfort zone colour of slightly brown nude. It's very moisturising and does last. It is very pricey compared to my favourite Revlon Lip Butter Creme Brulee, but I will persevere because I love the lippy. I think it's more of an evening colour with smokey eyes rather than a day colour. Would buy again. 9/10 but only because of the $40 price tag.
