Mac lipstick collection

The other day, in the middle of 'doing work' I decided to get all of my Mac lipsticks out for a play, and to distract myself further I took pictures for this post. I think I did a similar post near the begginning of my blog but this is just my Mac lipsticks, and since then I have bought more..and lost a couple (cut a caper, impassioned and Innocence beware were the losses) :(
Anyone who is addicted to Mac lipsticks will know that the lipstick addicts collection is always a work in progress so this is definatly not my final collection but I am happy with what I have for now :)

The lipsticks attacked my work!
L to R: Prolongwear lipcream-overtime, Viva Glam gaga I (lustre), Chatterbox (amplified), Fusion Pink (amplified), Girl about town (amplified), sheen supreme- supremely confident, Honeylust (matte), Vegas Volt (amplified)


A few honourable mentions:
-
Out of these pinks/neutals/peach my most used lipstick is probably Chatterbox. Its a really under-rated shade and for me its the perfect not-too-barbyish barbie pink.
-I used to love Viva Glam Gaga 1 when I had red hair but find it's not as flattering with my brown hair..So I save it for when my hair is red.
-Fusion pink is my newest lipstick out of these and is the most standout of the lot, its definately a daring one.
-Supremely confident is pretty boring by itself but I have recently discovered that it is AMAZE over Mac Dervish lipliner. (or any neutraly-pink) A great layering shade.
-And Vegas volt is the most amazing summer shade.

Swatches:


L to R: Prolongwear lipcream-overtime, Viva Glam gaga I (lustre), Chatterbox (amplified), Fusion Pink (amplified), Girl about town (amplified)
sheen supreme- supremely confident, Honeylust (matte), Vegas Volt (amplified)


The purples-red:

L to R: Pro Longwear lipcream- Goes and Goes, Rebel (satin), Pro longwear lipcream-prolong, *Depotted* New York Apple (Frost)

Swatches:
L to R: Pro Longwear lipcream- Goes and Goes, Rebel (satin), Pro longwear lipcream-prolong, *Depotted* New York Apple (Frost)
Honourable mentions:
-Goes and Goes had become my go-to halloween lippy!
-For a while I wasnt keen on the satin formulation of Rebel but recently I've made it work for my by patting it into my lips and is one of my current faves- great winter berry shade
-Prolong is just an amazing red. I know its my only real red but I feel like its the only one I need, Its the perfect blue-toned red and the pro longwear formula means its amazingly longlasting-just what you want from a bold red.
-Poor little melted New York Apple. Love the name of this lipstick and this was my first Mac lipstick, so although I never wear it I am sentimentally attached to it!


So those were my Lipsticks! As you can see I'm pretty fond of my bold colours, I love wearing them on nights out! I never really buy neutrals from Mac because they kind of bore me and I feel like I should take advantage of some of the unique bolder shades Mac has to offer if im going to treat myself to one.
If you havn't already guessed it, Amplified is my favourite finish. The amplified lipsticks are the most pigmented of them all and the colour range is gorgeously bold & right up my street, with a really nice creamy longlasting finish.
I have three of the pro-longwear lipcreams and am really impressed with them. If the colour range of these were better I would have loads.
Another one of my absolute favourites was the limited edition Innocence, Beware! (from the venemous villains collection) which I recently finished/lost the last bit of in a club. It was a creamsheen finish and was a really flattering nude. Please re-promote it Mac!

What about you, Do you have any of these shades?
And What are your favourite Mac Lipsticks?
