Personally, I HATE MAC lipsticks. I think they're soooo drying and make my lips look awful.
However, I recently found a new use for them that makes me actually like them a little. Using them as blush! I know that some people use lipstick as blush, but it's not extremely popular. I have 2 MAC lipsticks that didn't get used and now I use them as cream blush! They look great on my cheeks!
So what do you think? Do you like them on your lips? On your cheeks? Or not at all?
I have a mac lipstick in shy girl and think its fab. It's a peachy colour so perfect for day wear or for a natural look for the evening. The only thing is I never seem to be able to keep lipstick on for long. God knows what I do but it always comes off so have to keep re applying every 2 mins! Lol
So, why don't you just take your 2 lipsticks back to MAC and exchange them for a blush? or something else you know you will use. I've never used my unwanted lipsticks as a blush but if it works for you, then good. At least they are not going to waste.
I've never had a problem with MAC lipsticks, I absolutely love love love their lipsticks and it's the only product i use of MAC ! I love my Saint Germain lipstick, perfect barbie pink <3
I'm a huge fan of their Lustre finishes and new-ish Seasonally Supreme. I've stayed away from their matte formula because I hear they are drying. Any lip product I put on goes on top of a lip balm unless it's a tinted lip balm.
I found the matte formula particularly drying until I started to wear a lip liner, and a waxy lip balm under it. I love MAC lipsticks, and their Amplified Creme formula is my absolute favourite!
@julia i have the same problem with MAC lipsticks! But thats a great idea for using them as a blush. Ill definately try that. Www.thebeautyteen.blogspot.com

i do find russian red a tad drying, but scrubbing the lips and letting a good lipbalm properly sink in before applying it works wonders :)
