Now Available in the MAC Permanent Line: The Liptensity Lipsticks and Liptensity Lip Pencils

October 9th, 2017 by Karen 11 Comments

New in the permanent line!

You know when people say, “She’s so extra”? I still haven’t figured out if that’s a good or a bad thing. I think it’s a good thing…like saying “you’re the cat’s meow!”

I think?

These new MAC Liptensity Lipsticks and Lip Pencils are definitely extra, though. Extra pigmented! 🙂

I love that the packaging is the same color as the bullet.

Remember the LE MAC Liptensity Lipsticks from last fall? The Liptensities have totally different packaging than the regular MAC Lipsticks. Their brightly colored caps match the lipsticks inside, and the formula is majorly intense and pigmented. They lay down lots of color per swipe, and there are now 12 shades in the permanent line for $21 each.

Here’s a look at some of them…

Pretty, yeah?

As for the Lip Pencils, they’re completely new. There are 18 of them, also $21 each, and check it — they’re teardrop shaped.

Cool, huh!

Can’t say I’ve ever used a lip pencil that looks like these before, and the curves actually really do help them get into the corners.

I’m all about how creamy they feel, though. These super skinny pencils feel like they’re gliding. They’re just so soft and smooth… You know I love me some the old-school MAC Lip Pencils, but girl, sometimes they feel like punishment! — whereas these feel GOOD.

They can do more than just work as lipstick, too. You can line your lips with them, fill in your lips with them, dab some balm on top (or not). The sky’s the limit.

Both the and Lip Pencils are on counters right meow. Lip swatches coming soon.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Oh, my gosh! There are some close fires, babe! The closest one is about five miles from here, and I can see a smoke plume. Novato borders Sonoma County, and Napa County is right around here. It’s all grassy hills and oak trees. It’s super smokey now, and there are ashes falling. I’m checking this site here, and also have updates set up on my phone, to tell if we should evacuate.

I’m a little nervous, but Tabs is keeping me calm. I feel really bad for the people who live a few miles north of us. It’s been much, much worse up there. 🙁

At least it hasn’t been too windy today. That helps a lot. It was very windy last night, and that’s why the fires spread so quickly while people were asleep.

    Please keep safe! These fires are horrible to watch on TV, I can´t even imagine having them so close by.

    Hi Karen,
    Long time reader of your blog. First time posting here. Although I love all of your content, I especially appreciate your lip swatches posts. I always look at them before buying one for myself. You are doing an awesome job. Thank you! I especially love marsala and cut ruby. Looking forward to lip swatches. I bought the bb peach corrector, estee lauder lipstick in defiant coral and nars lip pencils all based on your posts/reviews. Stay safe. Lots of love to you:)

    I’m glad you’re safe, don’t hesitate to get out of there if you need to! ❤ I live near Gatlinburg in Tennessee. I remember being able smell the fires and see the haze in the sky last year. So scary!

    I was thinking about you after catching the news about the fires in Northern California. I hope you are safe. Bruce and I were thinking about our trip to Wine Country in 2000. We stayed at a nice B&B in Santa Rosa. How awful to see the photos of the devastation. Be safe!

    Hey Karen! I saw these online and thought maybe I wait to see swatches so here are my 21 questions (kidding)! I really like the looks of King Salmon and Well Bred Brown! The Dionysis lip pencil looks gorgeous! I never really use liner though. My question is, is the formula the same on these? The pencils appear more matte to me. I’d probably use the lip pencil as a full-on lipstick but certainly would appreciate it if they were as moisturizing as the lipsticks (appear to be).

    Oh, my goodness – I’m so sorry that the fires are close. It’s so terrible for the people who are affected (and scary for anyone nearby, I’d imagine). Good luck and be safe!

    One of my adopted dogs came from Santa Rosa so I feel a sort of kinship. It’s so frightening to experience fires that just devour everything in their path. Do everything you can to stay safe.

    Hi Karen,
    Beautiful Lippies, can’t wait to see the swatches. I am so loving Beet
    Root!! I may just have to have it. I’m so sorry to hear about the fires being so close to you. I know that must be very stress inducing. Please stay safe and take good care. I will keep your family in my prayers.
    Gina and Gracie.

    Girl – stay safe and glad to hear that your family is okay. I’m really sad about the destruction up there and we can see the haze and smell the smoke in the air in Daly City/SF.

    On a lighter note, I will be on the lookout for these liptensity shades, especially the pencils!

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
