I went to the mall on Black Friday, intending to do some Christmas shopping for friends and family.
Crazy, right?
Mac Dionysus Lip Pencil Kit
Just being there was a sensory overload, but things got even more intense at the MAC counter. I was mesmerized by the array of lip color on display.
That’s where MAC blew my holiday shopping budget in record time with an updated release of their beyond-brilliant MAC Liptensity Lipsticks ($21) in nine new and three bring-back shades!
I fell in love with MAC Liptensity’s creamy, color-packed formula the first time around, and didn’t think I could love it more.
We heart this gave me the chance to test four shades, and the formula is so vivid, so creamy, so long-lasting, I know I’ll be adding more colors to my makeup bag soon.
You might think I’m going a little overboard considering the endless formulas and colors that MAC already offers.
Here’s what makes this Liptensity release something special: not only nine new shades and three old faves of lipstick, but 18 permanent shades of brand new MAC Liptensity Lip Pencil ($21).
Ok, let’s get to the shades…
MAC Liptensity Lipstick Review
The lipsticks I tested (marked*) ran the gamut from daytime neutral to nighttime high drama.
MAC Bite O Georgia – Light creamy peach
MAC King Salmon* – Creamy salmon pink, extremely flattering for practically any skin tone.
MAC Clouds in My Coffee – Light dusty nude pink
MAC Well Bred Brown* – Light nude, I’m reaching for this one almost every day. One application in the morning and I’m still wearing it when I get home from work.
MAC Double Fudge* – Intense dark brown that reads vampy almost-black on my lips. My inner Goth is really pleased with how dramatic this one looks.
MAC Beetroot* – Creamy lilac purple, a new wave-y throwback that’s surprisingly wearable.

The lipsticks glide on creamily and are extremely long-lasting.
Of course, I’d expect this kind of staying power to come with a cost—dry lips–but all things considered, the formula is not very drying at all.
I just make sure to exfoliate and apply a good lip balm overnight for extra moisture.
The MAC Liptensity formula is the best possible version of long-wearing lipstick.
The bonanza of 18 permanent matching lip pencils (excuse me while I swoon) is almost too much for this Liptensity lover to take.
You read that correctly, 18 colors of MAC Liptensity Lip Pencil (available here). The liner has a slanted, chiseled tip that is extremely precise—so easy to use!
The colors are vivid and long lasting.
MAC Liptensity Lip Pencil Review
I sampled three shades (marked*) and have already set my sights on a whole bunch more…
MAC Liptensity Lip Pencil Shades
Habanero – Vibrant Orange, just bright enough and so pretty.
All Dressed Up* – True Bright Red. You won’t find a more beautiful classic red liner.
Dionysus – Rich burgundy Drivers jenoptik optical.
Art District – Soft warm pink
Pressed Blooms – Soft cool pink
Fresh Clay* – Mid-tone Rosy Nude. Drivers bfg. I love MAC’s Spice and Nice & Spicy liners, and Fresh Clay is a similar neutral.
Enoki – Dusty lilac beige
MAC Liptensity Lip Pencil Swatches
The formula is so creamy, I’m tempted to wear the liner all over with a little clear gloss on top.
I was already a big fan of MAC’s various lip liners, but the Liptensity collection’s sharp, slanted tip is extra-nice.

The fires are still raging in Sonoma and Napa. It’s still bad up there, and it’s pretty smoky here, but it isn’t terribly windy right now, which is one small blessing. Hopefully it stays that way for another day or two, and then maybe some of the fires can be contained. Beijing tianyu communication equipment modems driver download. We just keep checking the county fire alerts, being ready, and trying to stay positive.
Speaking of staying positive…Liptensity! 🙂 After swatching all 22 of the MAC Liptensity Lipsticks, which, by the way, are now available in the MAC permanent line, my lips were stained a magnificent magenta color that lasted — no joke! — a day and a half.
The pigment is that serious.
More importantly (at least to me), I’m pretty sure that one of the colors, Clouds in My Coffee, is a shout-out to Carly Simon’s You’re So Vain.
“I had some dreams. They were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee, and…you’re so vain, you probably think this song is about you…”
I guess 2016’s limited edition Liptensity collection did pretty well, because the Liptensities are permanent now. Nine of the shades are new, and 13 are re-promotes.

- The re-promotes: Driftwood, Smoked Almond, Toast and Butter, Dionysus, Habanero, Fireworks, Marsala, Mulling Spices, Cordovan, Galaxy Grey, Double Fudge, Ambrosial and Stallion
- And the new shades: Clouds in My Coffee, Well Bred Brown, Ginger Rose, Brick Dust, Bite O’ Georgia, King Salmon, Fire Roasted, Beetroot and Noblesse
Mac Dionysus Lip Pencil
It’s been a minute since the last time I wore any of these, and this swatch sesh reignited my affection for them again. Not only are they preternaturally pigmented, but they don’t settle into my lip lines. At all.
The thing is, though, they’re so intense that you have basically zero room for error when you use them. Applying one of the dark or bright shades straight from the tube is kinda tough because they don’t have a pointed tip like regular MAC lipsticks do, and that makes it difficult to follow your lip contours, especially in the outer corners.
For what it’s worth, a few of the shades have matching Liptensity Lip Pencils (I’ll post swatches of the pencils on Monday).
I applied a single layer straight from the tube for each of these, which is how I usually apply lipstick, and one layer of Liptensity lasts me about three hours, or until I have something to nibble or drink.
Each of these lippies is $21, and you can find them now at MAC counters and online.
