MAC Lipstick Review

Only have 1 colour but it vibrant goes on smooth and wears well. I do prefer liquid lipsticks but would repurchase. Quite pricey though!

I had used Mac lipsticks before by 'borrowing' my friends' but this would count as the first one I properly OWN. And boy do I love it! I'm usually not a purply, bold lips kinda gal, but I thought I'd give it a try after doing lots of research. This color is a little more vibrant on me than on Lorde (most likely because of my pale skin). It applies super smoothly and the finish is somewhere in the middle between matte and glossy. It stays amazingly throughout the day and does not crease in my 'lip wrinkles', which is a big plus for me. Only thing I'm not happy about is the price of it in New Zealand, but if you consider it a 'highend' lipstick then it's fair I guess. I'm keen to buy a matte one next, perhaps Taupe or velvet teddy since they both suit my skintone quite well.

My first time ever visiting M.A.C was earlier this year. Right?! What took me so long!!! A friend said to me 'you need to buy a M.A.C lippy, you will love it!'.... Sure sure.

Well I never! I now own 2 and have a wishlist of 13 of them. I have Dark Side which is a deep burgundy and comes in the amplified finish. A creamy stick which glides on perfectly and is super pigmented. No need to build the colour up as it's there from the first swipe. This shade bleeds a little but match it with a lip pencil and it works beautifully.

I also have Rebel. This is my go to shade a perfect plum purple. Looks amazing on its own or with a full glam makeup look. Creamy and soft, beautifully pigmented. This comes in the 'satin' finish.

I find they aren't long wearing, especially when you're eating and drinking etc so make sure you pop it in your purse/handbag to take with you so you can do touch ups when necessary :)

I love these lipsticks, I'm super thankful to my friend who introduced them to me! At $40 a pop my collection will grow but slowly lol.

I love this shade of lipstick. I wear it on a regular basis as an everyday colour as it isn't too out there and can go with most makeup looks. I love the nude colours but it doesn't give you the 'foundation lips' look as it is a slightly darker nude. I will definitely be buying this again when I run out.

MAC lipsticks are classics. Right from walking up to the MAC counter, you are immersed into this world of lipsticks, with so many colours and finishes laid out in front of you.

I originally was looking at a Matte lipstick, but ended up with a Satin one. The lipstick goes on creamy and smooth, but retains a relatively matte look. Like most lipsticks overtime it can get a little drying, but overall this lipstick does a decent job at not affecting lip hydration.

The lipstick also last a reasonable amount of time. Maybe around 4 hours.

In terms of packaging, its nothing exciting, but is a perfectly functional bullet lipstick.

What I love most about MAC is their huge range in lipsticks, what I like least about MAC is the price.

It's been long time I want to try Mac lipsticks. Online and youtuber and even On BR highly rated lipsticks. So that's encourage me to buy it. I bought whirl lipstick from farmers. I spent 40$ for one lipstick. With high hope.

Packaging is okay. It is looks like black bullet. Didn't get good packaging what I spent. You can see lipstick name back of lipstick. When I asked lady on counter to saw me some nude lipstick. She did saw me some of lipsticks. But whirl colour catch my eyes. And she said it is matte finishing and I said its perfect then.

I do have dry lips and I do exfoliate my lips twice a day for matte lipsticks. Whirl is dusty or dirty rosey colour. Perfect nude but not nude lipstick colour. I was looking this type of colour for long time and finally I found it. Right now I am looking whirl dupe but little creamy formula.

Lipstick is last up to 4 hours on my lips and than after start fading. During that time I drink water and have some light dry snack. I does dry out my lips however I like it because I love lipstick colour

When lipstick is on my lips, doesn't feel heavy or dry but after 5 hours my lips feel dry. Colour is nice pigmented, just one swipe and it's done. I want to dry some different colours and different finishing too. But wouldn't buy from farmers. Definitely next stop will be duty free mac.

Its hard not to get caught up wanting to have a brand that everyone seems to talk about, so when I went overseas last year one of my goals was to pop my Mac cherry at duty free (as my current city didnt stock mac cosmetics) I didnt have much time on this particular day so ended up with only enough time to grab some lippies and lip liners, I ended up purchasing: - Tropic Tonic (matte - coral) - D for Danger (matte - red) - Faux (satin -pinky nude)

First of all I will say the packaging Im not overly fond of (reminds me of a tampon - sorry!) and its difficult to see which colour is what when you are in a hurry.

I have barely made a dent in Tropic Tonic and D for Danger, yet the Faux I've nearly panned, and I will be so sad when I have none left! It seems like Mac Matte lipsticks just aren't for me but Mac satin is.

With the mattes I dislike how they apply (they seem to drag the lip) and they are just really dry in texture to apply, even when prepped properly the lip colour they just don't last or wear evenly, then leaves my lips super dry. I wouldn't wear these on a night out due to there lack of longevity either, and Id always be wondering how my lippy looks. I have been trying to wear them more just to make a dent in them and in hope they will grow on me.

Now the Faux on the other hand is my absolute favourite everyday 'nude' lippy. It glides on easily, wears evenly and doesn't leave my lips feeling too dry after wearing it all day. I still have to keep applying frequently to keep the colour up but its not as time consuming to apply which I like.

Now, had I researched a bit better in what colours I wanted prior to purchasing I may not have been so disappointed, also had the sales assistant been more knowledgeable I may have scored 3 I really loved. Would I purchase Mac lippies again, yeah I would (at DF prices not RRP) now Im more clued up what works for me. I've been left a little disappointed in the much talked about brand and Im no longer as eager to try any other products. Hopefully my next experience at a Mac counter I have the time and a more knowledgeable assistant to help me.

Ohh i was skeptical about them wee gems. I always wonder what the hype was with mac products, as ive never really been fussed to buy any.. (with those price tag, i like to think of myself as a bargin beauty shopper) After my frieind left one of her mac lippys in my possetion I decided to trial it, and WOW. Such amazing colour pay off, a lip stick they stays, all night long. I cant wait to grow my little collection, these are well worth the price. The girls at MAC will even help you find the perfect shade to match your skin tone.
