Swatcharama - MAC Lipsticks

I've just finished replying to all comments since my hiatus (well apart from the post where I asked what I should post next :P) Sorry for the delay!

Mac Ruby Woo was the first lipstick I ever bought for myself and while I now hate that particular one I still really like Mac lippies. There are some Mac Products I won't buy anymore because I don't think they're as high quality as I can get from other brands or I think they're good but overpriced. But I still love the lipsticks, particularly the amplified cream and matte finishes. I do wish they'd make some more exciting colours though.

Aranged by finish :)

(I don't actually know what finish this is, it doesn't say on it and I've googled but can't find it anywhere! I don't know what collection it's from either. Sorry! If anyone knows I'll add it in :) )

Blue Eve - sheer and shimmery greeney blue with the tiniest hint of gold shimmer.

 

Tonnes more under the cut :)

Cremesheen

Go For It (In The Groove collection)  - sheerish slightly muted purple with a tiny amount of silver glitter

 

Pro Longwear Lipcreme

Goes and Goes - slightly muted purple. Like an opaque version of Go For It without the silver.

 

Pro Longwear Lipcolour

Lasting Lust - Bright blue toned red. This is a liquid lipstick that comes with a gloss. It's super old though so probably doesn't look it's best!

Frost

CB96 - reddish orange with tonnes and gold shimmer

 

Lustre

Viva Glam Gaga 1 - neither sheer nor opaque warm yellowish baby pink

 

Cockney - not quite opaque (though it's not sheer on me at all, I've seen some swatches where it looks really sheer!) bright red with a little golden shimmer. Very shiny!

Mattene

Night Violet (Style Black Collection)  - dark purple berry colour

 

Matte

Viva Glam 1- Darkish brick red

Gladiola (from the Dame Edna collection) - bright matte blue pink. In real life it's brighter than it looks here.

 

Ruby Woo - I hate this lipstick. It's a gorgeous colour, a really retro very blue brightish red that is truly matte. However it is the dryest lipstick I've ever tried to use, I've actually cut my lip putting this on because I have to drag it across my lips so forcefully! It's really hard to apply it neatly because it's so dry. Pah!

So Chaud - either a very red orange or a very orange red :P a bit muted and brickish.

 

Russian Red - very similar to Ruby Woo in colour only it isn't quite as matte and has none of the application problems!

Lady Danger - Gorgeous bright warm red. This one applies beautifully, it's very creamy for a matte.

Amplified Cream

Neon Orange (pro colour) - bright red based orange

Morange - bright orange. 

 

 

Left: Neon Orange Right: Morange

These two look quite different in the photos but in real life they're almost identical. Morange is a bit more yellow based and looks a bit brighter.

Violetta (pro colour) - Bright pinkish purple

 

Girl About Town - Gorgeous bright blueish fuschia pink

Saint Germaine - pale blue based baby pink (I might take another photo of this, it looks a bit funny because my lips were stained from all the other lippies I'd swatched!)

Show Orchid (pro colour) - Bright blue pink with a very slight blue sheen

 

Kanga Rouge (From the Dame Edna collection) - One of my favourite ever lipsticks. Bright blue toned red.

 

Coral Polyp (From the Dame Edna Collection) - bright pinky coral

Impassioned - bright warmish pink 

 What are your feelings on Mac lippies? Some people swear by them, some think they're nothing special. For me I love the amplified cream formula and a lot of the colours are fab, but I also like a lot of other lippie brands about the same amount, so I'm not really obsessed.
