MAC is a lipstick giant. And well-deserved. When I put on a MAC lipstick, I feel like I have precious gems on my lips. The level of fierceness can not be quantified.
But going at $16 a pop, I could not possibly get all the shades. I have to be very selective.
I chose my first couple MAC lipsticks, Ruby Woo and Flat out Fabulous, by looking at google images and youtube videos of these colors. They were absolute stand outs. And I had to get them. Currently MAC has free shipping for any purchase so I utilized that feature when I got my first Ruby Woo. Glorious.
I also bought Flat out Fabulous by chance when I tried to purchase MAC products on MACY'S website because there was a free gift with purchase. But shipping, handling and taxes came up to $12! So, since I was already close to the free shipping eligibility by $12, I figured what the heck, throw Flat out Fabulous in the bag! So now I psychologically tell myself I paid the $4 difference for Flat out Fabulous as opposed to paying S&A plus taxes...plus I got a free gift! Exciting!
Yet while I adore MAC lipsticks and think it's the best out there, there are certain shades that I can deal with without them being pristine like these gems. When it comes to the color red, I want the best. And the best is Ruby Woo hands down for the color and the texture.
However, if it's brown or even purple, which are not my very favorite shades for lipstick, I can take some more reasonable quality lipstick that is not MAC. As you may know Jordana is a stand out lipstick brand for me as well. I also love Milani, which happens to be a sister to Jordana under the same company.
But give me a MAC any day of the week.
