Good morning everyone! Last night I stayed on to get that Limited Edition Birthday Bundle from Kylie Cosmetics and I didn't manage to buy it. I was on the website, put it in my cart and right after it said sold out... So sad and disappointed. I think once you put stuff in your cart, it's yours and it shouldn't be sold to someone else. Anyway I just hope to get it next restock! Pray for me ladies, I wanna write a full review on every single product for you.
However today I've decided to show you my MAC lipsticks collection, it's not a huge collection yet but I have a few. I'm planning to buy more and probably to give away some lipsticks to some of my subscribers! Make sure to subscribe to not miss out on new posts, news and giveaways.
Let's get started!
I have a total of seven lipsticks, out of them six are "standard" lipsticks and one is a retro matte liquid lipstick.
I have a total of seven lipsticks, out of them six are "standard" lipsticks and one is a retro matte liquid lipstick.
I'm going to divide them based on their finish. First the mattes, then the satins, the cremesheens and the retro matte.
I've got two for every finish. The two mattes I have are two best-sellers from MAC. First one is Velvet Teddy and the other one is Whirl. Both of them are frequently sold out especially since Kylie Jenner once revealed they were her favorites. Everyone has been raving about them and everyone wants them. The matte formula is probably the most drying of all the formulas, for that reason I always suggest to apply a lip balm or a lip primer before applying the lipstick. I personally like the MAC Prep + Prime Lip, it hydrates the lips and the lipstick stays on longer with it.
Velvet Teddy is described as deep-tone beige and it's one of the best nudes. It would suit well every skin tone from people with the most fair complexion to the most tanned girls. It's the lipstick I use the most along with two others, and you can definitely tell it since it's the third I've bought.

Whirl is the second matte lipstick I have from MAC and it's dirty rose. For my complexion it's quite dark so I would not consider it an everyday color, but I guess tanned girls could wear it very easily. It's a beautiful color for sure, but if I had to be honest not to die for.
Next category is satin lipsticks and I have two colors for this finish as well. One is called Brave and the other one Cherish. The satin formula is less opaque than the matte formula but it's way more creamy and hydrating. Also it doesn't dry your lips. One thing that I love about MAC lipsticks is the scent, they have a sweet and delicious smell of vanilla which makes me wanting to smell them all day long.
Cherish is a soft muted peachy-beige and I can't lie about this... It's my number ONE favorite out of all the MAC lipsticks I have. I use it everytime I want a nude and natural look. It lasts for hours and I rarely need to reapply it. This is for sure a must, you should check it out. Once you have it, you can no longer live without it.

Brave is a pink-beige with white pearl and it is another best-seller. I have to say that I was quite disappointed when I bought it. Everyone loves it and I decided to buy it based on popular opinions. However when I got it I was really disappointed. I don't know why but I expected more. The formula is great without any doubt but the color doesn't excite me. Probably it's just me, since my sister loves it. If I had to be honest, I would not recommend it.

Last lipstick category is Cremesheen lipsticks. The two colors I have are Coral Bliss and Creme In Your Coffee. This is one of the shiniest between all the finishes and the coverage is not high. It's very subtle and see-through if you know what I mean. I think it would be better to wear this type of lipstick with a lip liner to highlight the color.
Coral Bliss is a frosted light coral which I think it's gorgeous for summer time. I normally wear it with a matching lip liner, for example MAC Liner in shade Lasting Sensation (17,50 $ / 15,20 eur).
I prefer wearing it with a liner because it makes the color more vibrant and bright.

Creme In Your Coffee is described as a creamy mid-tone pink brown but in my opinion there's no pink tone in it. It's definitely a brown shade. As the name says, a coffee brown. This color as well is better worn with a matching lip liner. I think this color is so cool with boho looks.
The last lipstick I have from MAC is from the Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour Collection. This is the first collection of liquid lipsticks released from MAC last January. They launched 15 colors and then they added 5 new shades in May for summer. When I went to buy this lipstick I wanted to get one of the nudes, but at the MAC counter most of the colors were sold out. There were only 4 colors left and
since it was my intention to try that new formula I bought one either way. The color I got is called Fashion Legacy and it is an intense fire truck red. It's a very bright red, the classic red. I love the shade, it's stunning. As for the formula it's not the best liquid lipstick formula. It's very moussy and creamy, too much creamy. It stays on all day, but you can feel it on your lips. It tends to fade away in the watery part of your lips and it's quite drying if you don't apply a primer or a lip balm.
All in all I would say it's a good liquid lipstick but not the best, and considering the price (21 $ / 25 eur) it's not worth it.
