MAC Shop MAC / Cook MAC Lipsticks Review & Swatches


MAC launched six limited edition lipsticks a couple of weeks ago with their Shop MAC / Cook MAC collection. I skipped Innocence, Beware! (a repromote from Venomous Villains and Cinematics) and Runaway Red (a repromote from MAC Me Over), but I got Dish It Up, Naughty Saute, Quick Sizzle, and Watch Me Simmer.



From L to R: Dish It Up, Naughty Saute, Quick Sizzle, and Watch Me Simmer...

Watch Me Simmer is a bright coral with an amplified finish.



I got about 3-4 hours of wear with Dish It Up and Naughty Saute. Quick Sizzle and Watch Me Simmer gave me about 5-6 hours of wear and stained my arm and lips a bit. Each lipstick in this review has a different finish, but they all felt creamy and comfortable on the lips, including Quick Sizzle which has a matte finish. They all have great color payoff, and they have that signature vanilla scent. My personal favorites are Quick Sizzle and Watch Me Simmer.

I know these lipsticks sold out quickly online and in stores, but there's a good chance that MAC will restock because they all have "COMING SOON" on their website. Additionally, Watch Me Simmer will be repromoted in the So Reel / Reel Sexy collection in the spring.

Oh, and yes... my hair is at least 10 inches shorter because I donated it to Locks of Love. :)


What do you think of these lipsticks? Did you get any of these?

Where to buy: MAC counters, stores, and online.

  4. Fantastic haul, but I wonder why M.A.C's very light Barbie pink shades tend to be a little sheer compared to the others?

    1. Perhaps it's the finish? I think a matte or amplified creme finish would yield an opaque color coverage.

    1. That's what I've been trying to do lately. I think I might just swap away some that I haven't used much lately (or at all).

  9. Quick Sizzle looks really pretty, and it doesn't look dry even though it's a matte color.
