Sneek Peek: MAC Mattene Slimline Lipsticks…

Simply GORGEOUS!!  I have always loved the look of matte lips, but it was always so dry…so cakey.  Well say hello to a new matte lip.  MAC’s newest creation called Mattene is like a lipstick revolution.  It’s more like satin but with the long wear of matte…the best of both worlds!!  The look is more modern and comfortable than the matte lipsticks of yesterday.

Matte lips were a STAPLE in the 90′s, you couldn’t go anywhere or look at any music video without seeing them and they look beautiful but after a while we got…um tired.  Matte lipstick was traditionally very heavy dry and cakey and you would need to re-apply after a few hours.  Not so here.  This lipstick truly feels weightless and lasts for hours (I have had mine on for at least 4 hours today and I tell you…it still looks fresh).  Half of the shades are matte … the others are semi-matte.

The Rundown:

Poise Clean yellow pink (Semi-Matte)
Composure Neutral bronze plum (Semi-Matte)
Flattering Beige pink (Semi-Matte)
Café Matte Rich caramel (Semi-Matte)
Orange Dare Bright yellow orange (Semi-Matte)
Seriously Rich Bright pink red (Semi-Matte)
Immodest Bright magenta (Semi-Matte)
Night Violet Deep purple grape (Semi-Matte)
40’s Pink Neutral mid-tone dirty pink
All Grown Up Deep chocolate brown
Tango Dirty coral
You Say Tomato Tomato red
Classic Dame Blood red
Rapturous Deep red berry
Powersuit Vibrant clean yellow pink
Rougette Wine berry

My favorite colors are Cafe Matte, Rougette, Poise, Rapturous, Night Violet & All Grown Up.  The slimline packaging and slanted tip makes it super easy to use (and slide in your bag or pocket!)and the texture…man oh MAN!.  It’s not up on the website yet (be patient!) but If you can’t wait, you can check the swatches over at Christine’s Temptalia site. This will be on MAC counters October 4th and on MAC’s website.

Stay Pretty!
