MAC Prince Noir - Review, Photos, Swatches

Tweet

MAC Prince Noir is a dark burgundy shade with red undertones. It has a matte finish. It's quite opaque and color payoff is really nice. It's texture and feel on my lips is similar that of MAC Russian Red - matte but a little creamy. This is a limited edition shade that's included in the MAC Me Over Collection that was launched last year.

PROS: It's formula is great. It has a matte finish but it's not drying at all. The color is opaque and it's long wearing.

CONS: It's a limited edition shade. A bit dark and intimidating for some people and it's also pricey.

VERDICT: 

I will definitely repurchase! (if it'll be re-promoted)

MAC Smoked Purple - Review, Photos, Swatches

MAC Smoked Purple is a dark purple (like an eggplant) shade. It has a matte finish. But unlike the usual matte lipsticks from MAC, this one is extra drying (like it's a  really pure matte lipstick). It's like the purple version of MAC Ruby Woo. Because it's super matte, it'll take a few more coats to achieve the perfect opacity. This is a permanent PRO color which has been re-promoted in the MAC Me Over Collection last year.

PROS: The color is not easy to dupe. It's long wearing and the color payoff is decent.

CONS: It's really matte, close to drying. It's also a cool toned shade so it might not look good on everyone.

VERDICT: 

I will repurchase when I don't find something better
