MAC Lipsticks

 Hi Lovelies! So this post was first going to be a 'Top 5 MAC Lipsticks' post but then I realised I actually only own 6 so I guess its more of MAC lipstick collection (although I do love them all so I guess it could be a top 6 MAC lipsticks post; anyway, you get the idea). Hope you enjoy and if you're on the lookout for a new MAC lipstick I'd probably recommend all of these. I don't have too many as I have plenty of lipsticks from the drug-store that I love just as much.However, what's great about 
MAC is the wide range of colours and also finishes available; there's something for everyone. 



Left to right: Fast Play, Costa Chic, See Sheer, Russian Red, Rebel and Dark Side.




Fast Play


Finish : Amplified


Fast Play is the only MAC lipstick I've got on a whim; every other time I've gone into the store with the intention to purchase a lipstick, I've been sure which one I want to try. I had a 'Back to MAC' and wasn't sure which lipstick I wanted at the time, so after swatching a few testers I opted for this and I'm so glad I did. It's a really lovely mauvy nude and it just works with my skin tone. I don't wear nudes all that often, but if I do I reach for this one fo'sure. I've found myself reaching for this one more and more recently. It's a really creamy thick formula; not at all drying which is fab.


Costa Chic


Finish: Frost


Costa Chic is one of my go-to summer shades; it's a lovely bright coral colour that is very pigmented. If applied straight from the bullet it can be very bright, which is great if that's what you're after but I personally like to smudge it in with a lip brush or my finger for a more subtle coral shade. The frost formula is not as creamy as amplified but I find does last that bit longer.




See Sheer

Finish: Lustre

Putting it out there... See Sheer might just be one of my all time fav lipsticks (if you couldn't already tell by how much I've used it haha). Orange toned lipsticks are my favourite to wear personally and this is up there with the best I think. The formula is lovely and moisturising, the colour is not too in your face... I just love it. I've worn this most days since I got it and will deffo be repurchasing.



Russian Red


Finish: Matte


If you want that classic red lip, Russain Red is the way to go. It's matte too so it lasts well on the lips. I tend to reach for this for evening events when I want my makeup to be abit more fancy. I do love this shade. However, because it is matte it can be drying at times, but I would personally still choose this over a glossy red lip because it is long lasting. Just moisturise your lips before and you should be good to go.


Rebel


Finish: Satin


I would best describe Rebel as a blackcurrant shade I think; it is truly lovely. I don't tend to use Rebel as much as my other MAC lipsticks because it is a statement lip colour and partly because of the pinky undertone; I just don't think it suits me, but of course that doesn't mean it won't suit you. I still really love this lipstick and the formula is lovely, not at all drying and apply's nicely.


Dark Side


Finish: Amplified


Last but not least is Dark Side. I have to say, this lipstick gets the joint first spot with See Sheer for my favourite MAC lipstick. I absolutely love this shade. I love dark red/ berry lipsticks in general but there is something about this one that I particularly love. This is my go - to shade in winter but the seasons don't stop me from using this all year round. Like Fast Play it's an amplified finish, so is creamy and moisturising which I love. It's not as long lasting as a matte finish but I'll only need to reapply it once or twice.

(I did also own hue-- it was the first MAC lipstick I bought actually but has completely run out. If you're after a lovely classic nude, it might be worth checking that out)

Thanks for reading
