It all started with MAC lipsticks 🙂 My love for lipsticks started as soon as I walked in a MAC store and saw their display of lipsticks, they were so many.
Now I don’t consider my collection huge cause I only own 15 lipsticks, for some people that would be little but for some it would be a lot. I try not to buy lipstick shades that I would not wear. I know when their new collections come out it’s always so tempting to pick up every color they promote so I try to stay away from MAC stores and buy online:).
I love MAC lipsticks cause they have a huge selection of colors and finishes so I think every girl would find a lipstick that she likes.
MAC offers ten lipstick finishes: Matte, Retro Matte, Satin, Amplified, Amplified Creme, Cremesheen, Cremesheen Pearl, Lustre, Frost & Glaze.
I tent to gravitate towards Matte cause the finish lasts the longest so I don’t have to reapply too much.
The first row starting from the left we have:
Hug Me – Flesh Pink in Lustre finish. It goes more sheer on the lips and it’s very hydrating and glossy. This is  “your lips but better” shade so it’s great for every day use.
Velvet Teddy – Deep Tone Beige in Matte finish. This is a darker nude for me, it’s matte finish but not drying on the lips. I love it cause it last a long time on my lips.
Viva Glam II – Muted Pink-Beige with shimmer in Satin finish. I don’t see any shimmer on my lips so I’m not sure why MAC has that in their description. This is also a darker nude and very wearable.
Rebel – Mid tone Cream Plum in Satin finish. This is the perfect shade for Fall. You can combine it with a darker lipliner to make it more vampy or just wear it on it’s own.
Heroine – Bright Purple in Matte finish. I wear this when I want the focus to be on my lips so I keep everything else very natural. It’s a straight up purple so not for everyone 🙂
Second row:
Creme Cup – Light Blue Pink in Cremesheen finish. This was my first lipstick from MAC, it’s very hydrating on the lips and it’s perfect for every day use.
Kinda Sexy – Neutral Pinky-Rose in Matte finish. This is actually a darker nude for me, it’s very pigmented and lasts a long time.
Faux – Muted Mauve-Pink in Satin finish. If you can’t tell by now I love my darker nudes 🙂
Living Legend – Deep Plum in Matte finish. This is limited edition and part of their matte line. It’s matte but not drying at all. It’s the perfect vampy color.
Ruby Woo – Very Matte Vivid Blue Red in Retro Matte. They were not kidding when they said it’s very matte 🙂 this is the driest formula I have every tried. It’s such a beautiful red but when I want to wear this my lips have to be super moisturized.
Third row:
Coral Bliss – Frosted Light Coral in Cremesheen finish. When I think of summer I think of this lipstick. It goes on sheer but it gives you perfect juicy coral lips.
Please Me – Muted Rosy Tinted Pink in Matte finish. This is a great muted pink. If you’re afraid to wear bright pinks I would go with this lipstick.
Lady Danger – Vivid Bright Coral Red in Matte finish. This is my favorite red lipstick. It somehow brightens your whole face when you wear it and I just love everything about it, from the finish to the color.
Up The Amp – Lavender Violet in Amplified Creme finish. If you want to try a purple lip and you’re not really comfortable with a straight up purple you should try this lipstick. For me this is a muted version of a purple lip and very wearable.
Fashion Revival – Deep Raspberry in Matte finish. This is also part of their limited edition Matte collection. It’s similar to Rebel but with a hint of more purple.
I’m sure I’ll be picking up more lipsticks from MAC in the future cause I have couple of shades on my wishlist that I would like to have.
What’s your favorite MAC lipstick?
