So I'm absolutely no accept ion to loving the famous and incredible MAC lipsticks. It's a cult favourite, even if you're not a makeup junkie, you still probably have one.
They're a good price point, amazing quality and come in timeless packaging.
My mini collection consists of 5 shades, 3 nudish colours, 1 bright and 1 grey.

Everyone in the makeup community probably remembers there first mac lipstick but luckily for me, I got my first two at the same time. I went into the mac counter in Myer on Bourke St, knowing i was leaving with a MAC lipstick. I knew i wanted to try Pure Zen (Bottom Picture) , and after trying it on in the store i was sold. However, my mum, a lover of darker nudes (what a 90s babe) requested that I try a few more on. The MAC artist came back with Velvet Teddy(Top Picture), I tried it on, and I loved it! Fourtnunantly, the lady who i have inherited my love of makeup from bought me Velvet Teddy and I bought Pure Zen for myself!
not even 2 weeks later, EVERYWHERE in Australia was sold out of Velvet Teddy because of the Kylie Jenner trend- I was super impressed with my timing.
REBEL
Next was Rebel- an extreme jump in colourcompared to the first two purchases. This purple/pink hybrid looks VERY pink on me, its gorgeous and was my first Satin finish (Which I still think is my favourite formula) (although I haven't tried an Amplified Formula as of yet). This story was slightly less boring- for Easter one year, my Nan gave me $50 instead of eggs and asked me to buy something bright for lips (in contrast to my mum, my nan is a hater of nude basic colours) so I settled on Rebel,
and I wear it almost every time I visit her.
BRAVE
Brave is one that I contemplated for a couple of months... do I really need another pink lipstick? But i was on a desperate search to fine The One, the be all and end all for pink lippies. No lie, its not the be all end all, but its my fave 'no-makeup' day pink, and because of the mauve undertone, it makes my greenish eyes happy
HALSEY
Finally, Halsey! A slate grey with a tinge of blue. What a random colour for my otherwise predictable collection. But I love halsey, and her music and its an ode to my late grey hair (which I regret changing to this normal and basic blonde :( ). But overall, this lipstick is bomb- although I'm yet to wear it out in public yet, when the time comes, you best believe there will be a blogpost about it.
Althought its quirky and not completely practical, I dont love it any less than the other 4. (this is also the only one I've purchased online, the shipping was free at the time and I got 2 mini samples- WIN)
I'm not sure when my next MAC lipstick purchase will occur, but I'm thinking a red.. maybe in an amplified finish if there is one!
Thank you for reading!
