MAC LIPSTICKS PART 1 (ASSORTED)
These are the MAC lipsticks I currently have. I gave away one to my mom because the shade didn't really suit me. I'll still make a review on that in the future though.
I like the packaging of MAC lipsticks in general. They are very solid and sturdy.
Let me go through each lipstick for you.
First up is the Matte Russian Red Lipstick.
It's a classic, pin-up red shade. It's also very matte, but still more moisturizing compared to the Ruby Woo which I will give a review as well.
It's got a blue-ish undertone and has a good lasting power (6 hours of wear with meals). It does leave a nice, even stain.
Next is the Cremesheen Crosswires.
It's pink/orange coral-ish with slight sparkles.
It's very hydrating and stays on for a good 4 hours. It also leaves with a slight stain.
The one with the different shape is the Pro Longwear Lipstick in Perpetual Flame.
This is definitely long wearing. (you'll see from the swatches below!)
It's a berry/pink shade.
I don't know if it's the packaging, but the lipstick got jammed early on after buying this. So if you've noticed, I don't twist it up so much because it's impossible to turn it back inside without forcing it in or pushing it.
This one is the Cremesheen Speak Louder.
It's a dark pink, almost fuchsia shade.
Love this!!
Last one is the Matte Ruby Woo.
This is absolutely my HG Matte Red Lipstick.
I wore this once to someone's wedding and it lasted the entire time without any reapplication/retouch! I applied it at around 12nn and it lasted til 11pm! How crazy is that? It was still perfect when I went home. Only downside to this is that it can leave your lips a bit dry. However, it does not flake nor does it migrate to different parts of my face while it's on.
Here are swatches from different lightings.
Russian Red, Crosswires, Perpetual Flame, Speak Louder, Ruby Woo

The picture below shows that after wiping the swatches off with a wet tissue, Pro Long Wear in Perpetual Flame still leaves a pigmented stain on my arm.
It does live up to its name!
OVERALL
MAC Lipsticks are world famous for a reason. They're very good in quality and are definitely investments.
MAC stores here sell these lipsticks for more or less Php 1,000.00. It is cheaper in the US as it is only Php 600.00 if you convert it.
