When I purchased the
MAC Taraji P. Henson Collection, a few days later MAC sent me an email. They stated they had mislabeled the products in the collection and gave me $25 to use on a future MAC purchase. I decided to use the $25 towards their new
MAC Liptensity lipsticks ($21). The MAC description of these lipsticks are most definitely accurate: extreme colour, highly pigmented and satin finish. I am very impressed with the two shades I purchased. The lipstick is super creamy! It's moisturizing to the lips! They have great color payoff! The tube color (packaging) matches the color of the actual lipstick. Plus, there are 24 shades to choose from. I love both of the colors I purchased! I also want to get Cordovan as shown on GlamTrashMakeup. I love her Snapchat stories and Instagram account! Makeup companies send her lots of makeup to review. I included her swatches below.

MAC Liptensity Lipsticks are Supersweet
MAC Liptensity Lipstick in SMOKED ALMOND (Bright Rose Brown)
MAC Liptensity Lipstick in TOAST AND BUTTER (Peachy Cinnamon)
Swatches from GlamTrashMakeup
Oh, Cordovan looks really amazing. Just my kind of color, even though I would probably get more use out of Smoked Almond.

ReplyDeleteHope you are having a lovely week :)

I really love that smoked almond shade!
ReplyDeleteToast and Butter is one hell of a gorgeous shade, wow! I'm glad to hear you received a voucher from the brand to use after the mix-up, it looks as though it's totally paid off - because these lipsticks are dreamy :)

I haven't check out MAC for a very long time but I'm interested the Smoked Almond MAC liptensity and the Cordovan shade. Thanks for your review on swatches. I need to use more lippies!

These lip colors look like they really deliver on color, pigment and finish and the two colors you chose are so perfect for everyday wear Kim! I especially like the Smoked Almond.
ReplyDeleteI love the creamy texture of MAC lipsticks and I always really love the packaging, so I'm a bit disappointed that they changed it when they debuted liptensity. Still, I've heard great things about the line and I have to say, the colours do look fabulous on you!
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
I kinda love all the colors -- but Cordovan and Smoked Almond are a close tie for an absolute favorite. Love the finish!
ReplyDeleteSmoked almond sounds good and looks FAB Kim.
ReplyDeleteNow that I think of it I stopped buying MAC sometime ago...
Such gorgeous colours! I recently picked up Doe, but I also had my eyes on these two. Smoked Almond is a bit more wearable I reckon due to the pinkness of it :) x

So glad to hear that they are Kim approved!
ReplyDeleteI really want a few shades from this line...especially Smoked Almond...and maybe even Toast and Butter!

Wow these are so nice! I like both colors but would prob wear SMOKED ALMOND. I also really like the swatch of Toast and Butter! That's really nice they gave you a credit for the mistake they made!
ReplyDeleteThose are both beautiful shades Kim! Mac is my favorite for lipsticks but I've never tried this line before!
ReplyDeleteThese MAC lipsticks looks great. I like the Smoked Almond and Toast and Butter. It looks moisturizing too.
ReplyDeleteI have one liptensity and I love the formula although the color I wanted was sold out when I went so I haven't really worn the coral-pink shade I bought. I hope that come summer, I'll pull it out more!

Both colors look lovely on you! The formula sounds absolutely amazing-- sort of like the bite amuse bouche lipsticks. I've never heard of glamtashmakeup before but her swatches look legit! I'm going to go check out her insta. Thanks for the rec :)

Ooh I really like smoked almond on you. The colors are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes please.... to creamy lipsticks! It is good that you were able to find MAC products you liked instead of that one that wasn't available anymore. These lipsticks do look superb. YAAY for satin finish.
ReplyDeleteSmoked almond is such a pretty shade and I actually really like the name. I'm a big fan of almonds. I was just telling my husband how hard it is to find good almonds these days. Have you ever tried almond milk? I just adore it. Ok, now I'm straying from topic ha ha ha. Toast and Butter also looks great on you. Generally speaking, I like brown toned lipsticks, they make me think of chocolate....and cinnamon. I love cinnamon. This lipstick has such a nice warm earthly vibe going on.
Cordowan looks so nice on that swatch from glamtrashmakeup. Nothing beats a nice red lip, right! Don't forget to show us a swatch if you decide to get this shade. I think it would look great on you as well.
Both of these lipsticks look so incredible on you Kim, I love Toast & butter! Such a lovely shade! They're so pigmented! I definitely want one of these now :)

ReplyDeleteThese look really pretty! Love the shades, love how pigmented they are! Both the shades look gorgeous on you! Will have to give it a try!

Oh my goodness, I love Smoked Almond! I will definitely get one, now. I love the lipsticks, they look so rich! Great review!

I have four of the Liptensity Lipsticks and I love them so much but I don't have these. Smoked Almond is stunning xx
ReplyDeleteI love that the tube matches the color perfectly. Oh clever packaging is the best.

These shades are absolutely beautiful! They certainly look creamy and hydrating. As mentioned in today's post, I've been having issues with not really being able to wear many lipsticks because of my chapped lips, I'm curious how these would look!? The colors look gorgeous on you, my friend, thanks so much for sharing and have a great weekend!
