OK, so…what the heck is it about wearing lipstick that instantly makes me feel so much better? That little splash of color is like a nap, doughnuts, ice cream and chocolate rolled into one.
I almost want to hug it out with these pretty lippes, the appropriately named MAC Huggable Lipcolours ($20 each, coming to the MAC website May 7, and a week later to MAC counters and stores).
Do you remember this line of medium-coverage lipsticks? (Cue flashback to waaay back in 2013.) Of the 10 slick, moisturizing shades coming out next month, all of them, with the exception of Fashion Force, look new to me (as far as I’m remembering now).
They last from 2-3 hours for me and have that classic MAC vanilla flavor and scent.
The MAC Huggable Lipcolours…
- Bare Hug — a creamy, soft peachy orange
- Soft Talkin’ — a warm peachy nude
- I’m Game — a creamy raspberry (which, incidentally, sounds incredibly delicious to me right now)
- Love Feeling — a deep, vibrant orange
- I’m In — a warm rose
- Play It Soft — a bright coral-red
- Glamorized — a creamy, vibrant pink
- Flaming Lips — a deep creamy red
- Fashion Force — a soft tangerine
- Dramatical — a bright cherry red (not pictured)
As you might imagine, Tabs is a big fan of these, mostly because of their name.
You see…he is extremely huggable as well. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

I thought these would be more opaque but not complaining! I love sheer lipsticks! 🙂
Agata says
I have never tried this formula before so maybe I will give them a go this time. I like sheer lipsticks too!

You saved the best for last! Fashion Force looks SO pretty!
Rachel says
I bought one of these a few years ago and I love it! Might grab a couple more!

Ohmigosh, Karen, Flaming Lips looks so so so SO amazing! I can’t get over how pigmented and smooth looking it is!
Do you have any ideas for makeup looks I could wear with it?
Thanks! 🙂

Karen, your swatches were soooooo helpful! I got a glance at these somewhere online, and I was determined to seek them out since I have never owned a MAC lipstick, can you believe it? But, your swatches showed their sheerness especially for the shade I was most interested in, I’m In. I’ll pass on these and wait till another MAC lippie catches my eye!

Oh these are gorgeous! I can see them being super flattering on the lips, especially in the summer
Sarah says
Fashion force looks amazing. Do these have a strong vanilla scent? I prefer unscented lip products
Karen says
Hi Sarah,
Yes, these do have the classic strong MAC vanilla scent.

These seem real nice !! I love sheer colors that are wearable and great for work !
Rachel R. says
Love Feeling looks like such a nice wearable orange. It’s bright, but the sheerness seems like it would be more flattering for people like me who have trouble with orange lipsticks looking right.

I’m liking Love Feeling, Fashion Force and I’m Game!
