MAC So Good For You, Leap Of Delight Matte Lipstick Swatches Review – Nutcracker Sweet Collection

MAC is one brand that comes up with limited edition collections every month. I have see many and didn’t care to check the products for two reasons – the products disappear from the displays on the day of launch (Out of stock) , secondly nothing excited me in their recent collections. I was seeing MAC Nutcracker sweet collection on social media & youtube and lipsticks caught my attention. Again in Delhi getting your hands on a limited edition collection is a dream unless you are good friends with the sale executives there. Long story short, I picked two lipsticks MAC So Good For You, Leap Of Delight Matte from Nykaa.com since there were still in stock there.

MAC So Good For You, Leap Of Delight Matte Lipstick Swatches Review - Nutcracker Sweet Collection

Leap into a magical land that’s a bit nutty, a little naughty, bursting with whimsy. Lose yourself in an eccentric kingdom of oversized treats and rosy-cheeked nutcrackers. Twist, turn and tumble deeper into the Land of Dolls. Our story has only begun… A lipstick in five hues packaged in the playful fuchsia and burgundy shades of our holiday collection.

From cardboard cover to actual lipstick bullet the Nutcracker Sweet Range is bursting with colors. I loved the burgundy coral case with gold accents looks so fun, honestly I wanted these to be in my collection.

Shades – MAC So Good For You is a pink-red, quite bright but wearable. This shade would suit majority of skin tones. If you don’t like too bright shades then using a deeper lip liner will tone down the brightness. Leap Of Delight is a deep plum-purple, quite close but darker than MAC Heroine Lipstick . I don’t have anything like Leap Of Delight and being a dark lipstick lover, this one is my fav out of the two.

Texture & Formula – Matte has labeled them as matte but these aren’t as drying as MAC Retro Matte Lipsticks. Infact the texture is creamy matte, so the lipstick glides on smoothly whether you have moisturised your lips or not. Also the formula feels really comfortable and doesn’t make lips dry or cracked. The finish is semi-matte which would be good for those who want a cross between a cream & a matte formula

Pigmentation –  MAC So Good For You is medium opaque where Leap Of Delight offers opaque coverage in one stroke. On pigmented lips So Good For you will appear darker.

Staying Power – I get a good 6+ hours of wear out of both the shades. Nutcracker Sweet has some more shades and I badly wanted to get a shade which was out of stock 🙁

 

MAC So Good For You, Leap Of Delight Matte Lipstick is priced at Rs 1650 each

Overall Thoughts

MAC So Good For You, Leap Of Delight Matte Lipsticks are a good buy if you love these shades and want something in an attractive packaging. The formula is comfortable and feels good on the lips.
