Totally in love with Mac Lipsticks. They are super pigmented, they last all day and are great value for money. I tend to buy more Satin / Matte / Amplified lippies because I find that I don't have to reapply as often. I don't even have to wear a liner with these! Huge fan of Mac's lipsticks. It's just such a shame when they discontinue colours.

Pricey
I purchased my first MAC lipstick about 8 months ago in the colour "craving"
These lipsticks are quite expensive in NZ compared to the US. They have a wide colour range which varies in finishes from Matte to cream to satin etc.
Craving is very creamy and I have noticed it melts easier compared to my other lipsticks, however it applies very easy and creates a lovely, deep colour.
I don't think the lipstick lasts ages on my lips, but they do have amazing colours. But you could probably find much cheaper dupes.
Update: I now own about six of these, and I must admit I am very impressed. The colour range is beautiful, but I tend to go for shades that I don't think I could find anywhere else in dupe- or cheaper form!
The least favourite I own would have to be Crème De Nude. I am so disappointed to say that, I had heard many raving reviews about how awesome it was for fair skin and how it was the perfect nude! Unfortunately.. This was not the case for me, I found it didn't go opaque enough on my lips and looked streaky. I personally would not purchase this again, as it didn't live up to my expectations!
Morange is an unsual reddy-orange colour which I love! It is hard to wear, or find clothes that will match it. Therefor, I wouldn't recommend this if you're looking for an everyday lippy, spend your money on something more suitable! However, it is very creamy, easy to apply and stays on a decent amount of time!
Rebel, Impassioned and Diva are two that I love! They apply creamy, however you must be careful not to make a mistake as it can ruin your foundation! They are beautiful colours, and I would keep repurchasing. I believe they would suit so many different skin tones and hair colours etc!
The packaging is easy to use, just slip off the lid and twist the tube up. Be careful not to twist it too much as it can break! Also, keep them cool as they can melt easily!
Tips: Store in cool area, Don't twist too much up

Cremesheen for life
MAC lipsticks are to die for! I love the smell and the consistency of them. The Cremesheen finish is by far my favourite, so moisturising and have a bit of a glossy finish to them. I recommend them to anyone. I would rather have a few nice colours by MAC than lots of colours by other brands
Tips: Apply, then blot with a tissue then apply another layer. I find this makes mine last a lot longer.

Must-haves!
I only have two Mac lipsticks both with a matte finish and I love them both. Not really in my price range why not splurge! I especially love the smell of them! <3
Tips: When using a matte lippy, apply a tiny amount of lip balm, (I use paw paw lip ointment balm) and then rub it off so your lips are moisturised but you still get the pigmentation of the lippy!

Only one problem!
I don't have enough shades! The ones I do I love too bits. Fleshpot is my go to nude and can't go past Saint Germaine for a bit of colour. Something darker is next on my list.
Tips: Love using a great beige like fleshpot and adding just a touch of coloured gloss for something different. I always foundation my lips before adding colour.

MAC Lipstick
I absolutely love MAC!! They are expensive but worth the price and never fail!! They have so many shades for everyone and never fails! The consistency of the lip stick is perfect! when you apply to your lips, it has great coverage, smells like vanilla cupcakes or caramelly, and is another way of identifying REAL Mac to FAKE Mac products. The product last a long time, depending on how much you use it. (Mine lasted 8 months.) Nothing compares to MAC, and the proceeds go to a great cause. MAC is a lot more expensive than normal makeup products, but the quality is worth every penny. The packaging is amazing, I have a nice small black MAC gift bag, and the lipstick packaging is plain, but displays the shade and name of the lippy. Very authentic and the results are breath taking! I have Retro Matte lippy and its bright, bold, adds colour to my outfit, goes well with my olive skin colour and adds that extra touch to your outfit. I have sensitive skin as well, and react quite bad to a lot of products, but with this MAC lipstick, I had no reaction and am sooo happy with my purchase.

Great quality
I'm in love with the huge shade range! There will always be some to suit your skin in here. The frost range was the first I tried - wasn't too bad, but now I really enjoy the colours of the matte and amplified range, though matte really needs a smooth base to apply.

Love Hate relationship
I love MAC lipsticks my favourites being Myth and Rebel but i also hate some of them the worst ones being Pretty Please and Pervette..
The reason i say love hate is because so many colours i love not just because of the colours but because of how good textures feel and the duration of how long they last aswell. Some can be really creamy and pigmented and last as long as a stain, but i have also had the ones wear they feel wierd on my lips or transform easily and not last longer thn an hour.
I guess it just depends on Matte, Saturn, Frosty etc..
so just make sure you test them all before purchasing them because you will end up wasting quite a bit of money if you dont.
With all products their are ups and downs so be prepared. I will still say they are worth it though because some of them i just love !!

my go to nude lipstick!
Myth lipstick is my absolute go to nude lipstick, it is a Satin and I feel like a Greek goddess wearing it. I wear it for basically any occasion, and it suits almost all eye and face makeup you wear. I love, love, love. <3
Tips: if you want this lipstick to last a bit longer definitely use a lip liner, and I also find using a lip scrub or simply grab the nearest towel, wet it a bit and your good to go! having an exfoliated lip is always! the best start to having amazing makeup/lipstick, same goes for your face if you want that flawless smooth look. definitely BUY! so worth every penny. xx

I love MAC lipsticks there is a shade to suit every occassion plus way more!! I love how long the colours last on your lips and the fact that you don't need to retouch often is amazing. You definitely get your money's worth when buying MAC lipsticks.
Tips: Apply blot, then reapply for lasting colour.
