Hello :) So here is a quick collection post including photos and swatches of my MAC lipstick collection. Its no secret that I'm a huge fan of MAC lip products! I'm always adding new ones, but currently I have 10. I've reviewed a few of these but overall I adore MAC lipsticks. The quality and color pay off is incredible. Below I included a little guide to the MAC finishes that I own, as well as a brief description of the colors. 


My guide to MAC Lipstick finishes

Matte- no shine and very pigmented. Long wearing and drying on most lips.
**Tip: Lip scrub + balm before application

Satin (my favorite)- semi-matte, tiny bit of sheen. Good alternative if matte is just to drying for your lips, and you want the long wearing color pay-off.

Lustre- light weight, and more comparable to a lip balm. Very hydrating/glossy shine, but not sheer. Shorter wear time.

Amplified- glossy, opaque, and long wearing.

Frost- Bold/long-wear with frosted shimmer.

Sheen Supreme- The glossy-ist and very hydrating

Cremesheen- a lot like sheen-supreme but not as glossy


My Lipstick Collection

Full Speed (sheen supreme) || Bright clean yellow-pink

Gladiola (matte) || Discontinued from the Dame Edna Collection. Purple-fuchsia with vibrant blue undertones.

Viva Glam Gaga (lustre) || light lovely pink

Girl About Town (amplified) || Bright blue-fuchsia

Rebel (satin)|| Gorgeous rich berry tone is a must-have! 

Lustering (lustre) || Outspoken pink

MAC Red (satin) || Vivid bright blush- red 

Chic (frost)|| Rosey-pink with golden pearl.

Brave (satin) || Pink-beige with white pearl. Perfect for everyday use!

Snob (satin) || Light neutral pink, also great for everyday use.

  13. Great collection hun, a girl can never have too many lip pies! I'm loving the look of Gladiola, but pity it's discontinued. And Rebel is starting to appeal to me now as well even though before it did nothing for me. Great post! xx
