Lipstick Reviews

M.A.C lipsticks are raved about by many people and, don't get me wrong, they are lovely lipsticks but for the price tag you can find equally good if not better lipsticks for cheaper. Having said that, their range of colours is amazing! And they are good lipsticks but don't be tricked into thinking that you are missing out if you don't have one.

'Shy Shine' is a shade from their "lustre" collection of lipsticks. It is creamy and glossy and a very pretty shade, appropriate for everyday. I love this shade of lipstick and would definitely consider re-purchasin when I inevitably use my current one all up.

This lipstick looks lovely on the lips and lasts a couple of hours. It doesn't dry your lips out and more than an ordinary lipstick.

I have this lipstick in a variety of shades including nudes, reds and pinks and I keep going back to M.A.C lipsticks because the colours, pigment, and formula are amazing. I have Russian Red (which looks amazing on blue eyed blonde haired girls), Freckletone (which is a great staple nude), Impassioned (Great for a bright pink pop). I'm looking to get more as there is just such an amazing range to choose from. They are a bit pricier than other brands but its worth it as they last on your lips, have a silky formula and have colours to suit every skin tone.

I have a MAC Lipstick Satin Myth. It has great texture and easily applied & lasts ages but this colour looks awful. It looks like I've applied foundation or concealer to my lips. It may look better on other people. I thought it was going to be a nice nude colour. I instead use it as a base and put other lipsticks with it which works well.

I have this lipstick in Russian Red and while i think it is a great colour that really complements my olive skin, i find it doesn't last on my lips for very long!
Considering the price i would much prefer to purchase a longer lasting lipstick that is around the $20 price range- that would spare me the inconvenience of having to reapply.

I will add that when the lipstick is on my lips it is creamy, smooth and doesn't dry out my lips which is definitely a plus! Its just keeping it on thats the issue.

MAC is definitely a high end product, but the quality definitely speaks for the price. These lipsticks are amazing - nourishing, highly pigmented and long lasting. I would highly recommend these lipsticks!

I have been wearing mac lipsticks for years now! They are highly pigmented, last a long time (even after eating and drinking), they do not smudge or transfer and they don't dry out my lips. I have them in several different shades as well as both shiny and matte. They are high quality and will last you quite a long time. They go on really smoothly and keep my lips feeling hydrated.

MAC has the most amazing and extensive range of lipsticks ever. All the colours are super pigmented and aren't drying on the lips. Some of the matte shades can be a little drying, however as long as you apply some lip balm before application this shouldn't be an issue. The super high pigmentation of these lipsticks is definitley worth the extra step to ensure your lips dont get dried out.
The MAC lipsticks have a wonderful vanilla flavour and scent, which is another reason as to why they are some of my favourite lipsticks.

I bought a beautiful deep purple colour to wear on my birthday last year and have only recently found it again. I love the colour so much, such a statement!! And the lipstick itself is soft and moisturising. This one lasts even without a liner and the colour really hold true.

Yes the range of lipstick shades is great, but I'm sure there are other brands out there with a good selection.

There are definitely cheaper dupes that can be found for these lipsticks.

They went on thick and were drying on my lips, and the vanilla scent that people go on about is now replicated in many cheaper lipsticks. Maybelline is starting to do it, Savvy, Essence and other brands in Priceline.

There may be a small selection of shades that are difficult to dupe but I would only get a shade that is so unique that I couldn't find elsewhere to want to splurge that price tag.
