MAC To The Future!

Hello lovers, as mentioned in my previous post I'm doing another review on a lipstick that I've fallen in love with. As the name of the post indicates, MAC's Pro Longwear Lipcreme To The Future (that was long) is the one I'll be reviewing. Let me first start out by saying that you can only purchase this product at the MAC Pro stores, high volume stores or online - there's only one MAC Pro store in Toronto located at 363 Queen St West. If you live south of the border I believe you can also purchase them at any major department stores i.e. Macy's (which is where I got mine from). It claims to be creamy, last for 12 hours and keep the lips hydrated. It definitely has a creamy finish however in terms of application I would classify it as a hybrid between a creamy lipstick and matte lipstick, in the sense that it doesn't glide on. It's very pigmented and has great lasting power. If anything, I would classify this lipstick just as a sister of the MAC matte lipsticks. The only major difference is that the Pro lipsticks aren't as drying (which I know most people dislike about the MAC matte lipsticks) & the Pro lipsticks have a sheen to them but ever so slightly. As far as the 12 hours go, I have yet to be successful at keeping any lipstick on for that long especially with eating and drinking. However, it definitely will hold up for about  6 hours including eating and drinking. With all that aside, it's an amazing lipstick. It's super pigmented (dare I say more then the Rouge Volupte) and has great staying power - there's nothing more annoying than having to constantly reapply your lipstick after every meal or drink. They come in a range of different colours and the packaging is very sleek, same matter finish as the other MAC lipsticks. All in all, it's perfect for wear throughout the day (especially during work) and even better for a night out. Let me know your favorite lipsticks - xo.
