MAC Lipsticks: Shade Extensions (Part I)

This month, MAC will be adding 13 shades of lipstick to their permanent range at all locations. Of the 13 shades, four were previously available at MAC Stores only (one of which will not be reviewed here), three were previously available in Asia only, and six were limited edition. Each lipstick comes in regular black packaging, contains 3 grams of product, and retails for $19. These are applicable for the Back to MAC recycling program at all locations.

Cockney is a medium brightened warm tomato red with subtle golden micro-shimmer in a Lustre finish. This is a re-promote from 2009's Euristocrats II collection; it was previously permanent at MAC Stores only, and is now permanent at all locations. It has a soft and creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has medium pigmentation and semi-opaque colour pay-off. It is slightly cooler than Lady Bug, and warmer than Brave Red.

Pink Pigeon is a medium vibrant blue-toned magenta pink in a Matte finish. This is a re-promote from 2012's Iris Apfel collection, and is now permanent at all locations. It has a soft and creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is less neon and less blue-toned than Candy Yum-Yum, and much brighter and less purple-toned than Love Forever! Pro Longwear Lipcreme. 

Milan Mode is a medium watermelon pink with subtle blue micro-shimmer in a Lustre finish. This is a re-promote from 2009's Euristocrats II collection; it was previously permanent at MAC Stores only, and is now permanent at all locations. It has a soft and creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has low-medium pigmentation and semi-sheer to semi-opaque buildable colour pay-off. It is sheerer and cooler than Speak Louder, and lighter and warmer than Lickable.

Patisserie is a light-medium warm pinked beige in a Lustre finish. This is a re-promote from 2009's Euristocrats II collection; it was previously permanent at MAC Stores only, and is now permanent at all locations. It has a soft and creamy texture, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has low-medium pigmentation and semi-sheer to semi-opaque colour pay-off. It is more pinked than High Tea, and lighter than Viva Glam V.

Cockney, Milan Mode, and Patisserie were originally released from 2009's Euristocrats II collection, and were consequently added to the permanent range at freestanding MAC Stores shortly after their release. For those who don't live near a MAC Store, you can now get these three at your nearest MAC counter. For those who do live near a MAC Store, you've likely already seen these shades. And you'll know that there are many dupes within MAC's permanent range for them. For what it's worth, though, all three are incredibly wearable shades given that they all have Lustre finishes and are therefore on the sheerer side. The shade I'm the most excited about being made permanent is Pink Pigeon, which was originally released in 2012's Iris Apfel collection and was sold out within hours of launch. It is a searingly bright pink but not quite as blue-toned or neon as Candy Yum-Yum. In the tube, they look very similar, but there is actually quite a difference once it's on the lips; it's like the much more wearable version of Candy Yum-Yum that actually looks amazing on all skintones. Yay for popular limited edition lipsticks becoming permanent!
