MAC Lipstick Collection and Swatches

 

I am not really a lipstick or lip product kind of girl, so it's crazy that I somehow accumulated 12 MAC lipsticks. I swear half of these are from the Back 2 Mac program. I think they look pretty on, but not really practical for everyday wear because they come off so easily and I hate the feel of stuff on my lips. I find that I mostly buy MAC lipsticks when they come out in limited edition collections, and I especially like when they come in cute packaging (like the To The Beach and Liberty of London ones that I have). From my collection, I believe only 4 are from the regular line.  I love MAC lipsticks for their cute packaging, they look like a bullet and their great smell, I can't get enough of that vanilla smell, that makes them great alone.

These are in no particular order, except for the very first one which is my all-time favourite and the first MAC lipstick that I ever purchased Creme D'Nude, poor thing melted in my purse recently. Creme Cup is a pretty neutral pink. Myth is good if you want to blank out your lips, good for those with highly pigmented lips. Jazzed and Ever Hip are quite similar in my opinion, but Jazzed is prettier, although I am starting to like Ever Hip at first I was disappointed in it. St.Germaine is a pastely blue pink, very pigmented.

And for the second half, All Styled up is a bright blue based pink, not as pastel as St.Germaine but in the same tone. Viva Glam Gaga is one of my favourites as well, it's a bubblegum pink (I have a backup of this one). Viva Glam 2 unfortunately wears terribly on me, it's a dark nude. Hue is another favourite, it's a gorgeous peach, although I wish it were more pigmented. Blooming Lovely is a more daring colour, a blue based purple, it's an amplified creme finish. Lazy Day is a nude pink, it's a lustre so not great pigmentation on this one (I find lustre to be the least pigmented of all the finishes and kinda bad).

There are lots of MAC lipsticks that I want to get, such as Snob and Shy Girl, and some more daring coral peach colours for the summer. What are some of your favourite MAC lipsticks?
