Last week, MAC launched a new lip product called Mineralize Rich Lipstick. It features "a luxurious formula and gorgeous colour, enhanced with a 77-Mineral Moist Complex that provides lips with nourishment and lasting hydration. The impact is instant — softer, smoother, more supple lips that are luminous and shiny." It comes in 12 new and permanent shades that "glide on with ease for intense, bright shade retention." Each bullet is made larger at the base and is cut at a steeper angle to give the product more surface area which enables it to lay down more product in one swipe. Like all MAC lipsticks, they are vanilla-scented but taste-free. They are packaged in a newly designed black hourglass-shaped case with a magnetic closure. Each Mineralize Rich Lipstick comes with 4 grams of product, and retails for $26. These are not applicable for the Back to MAC recycling program.
Everyday Diva is a medium-dark vibrant cherry red with a soft sheen in a creamy finish. This is a new and permanent shade. The texture is soft and creamy, and it goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is brighter and cooler than Ladybug, and slightly warmer than New Temptation Sheen Supreme Lipstick.
All Out Gorgeous is a medium-dark raspberry red with a soft sheen in a creamy finish. This is a new and permanent shade. The texture is soft and creamy, and it goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is lighter than Hang Up, and brighter than Party Line.
Lush Life is a medium-dark vibrant pinked berry-plum with a soft sheen in a creamy finish. This is a new and permanent shade. The texture is soft and creamy, and it goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is lighter and less purple than Rebel, and darker and less pink than Quite the Thing! Sheen Supreme Lipstick.
Fans of vampy, red lips can rejoice at three more options from MAC. I do wish there was more of a difference between All Out Gorgeous and Lush Life, though — they're not different enough to be worth getting both, though they are both beautiful shades. If you like your berry reds to be cooler, go for Lush Life, and if you like them to be warmer, go for All Out Gorgeous. Everyday Diva is a lovely pop of bright cherry red, but if you own New Temptation, you probably won't need to grab this one. If you are looking for a bright red that has glossiness rather than a matte finish, though, this one is definitely worth checking out.
The Mineralize Rich Lipstick is meant to be MAC's "luxury lipstick" with its soft, lightweight gel-based formula, new sleek tube, and higher price point. And it shows. The moment you swipe this lipstick on, you immediately notice that it's whisper light, soft and creamy, and pigmented to boot. And for the duration of wear, lips actually feel soft and hydrated. Moreover, this formula has a very impressive wear time considering how light and creamy it is; I get an average of four to five hours of wear before needing to re-apply. These actually remind me quite a lot of YSL's Rouge Volupté lipsticks (which are $13 more expensive). Honestly, this may be my new favourite lipstick formula from MAC.
They're beee-yoo-ti-ful!
ReplyDeleteI like how they look like they can be worn sheerer but are still pigmented.
Totally! These are truly gorgeous. A lot of people who don't want to shell out like, $40 for a luxury lipstick now have a less expensive option, which is great. And I like that you can really feel and see the difference between these lipsticks and the regular MAC lipsticks. They're worth the higher price point, for sure. Most importantly, these guys don't bleed, which is super important in vampier shades. :)
