My Mac Lipstick Collection

So I just got three new lipsticks from Mac's A Novel Romance collection and I decided to do a post about my Mac lipsticks. The reason why I have so many Mac lipsticks is because of the texture and their longevity. I'm not by any means trying to brag about this in any way. I keep my favorite lipsticks in this acrylic lipstick riser from The Container Store for $7.99. This one holds 24 lipsticks and the 12 lipstick riser is $4.99. I keep all of my Mac lipsticks in the first two rows.
First row (left to right) - Creme Cup, Myth, Snob, Please Me, Speed Dial, Brave, Ruby Woo
Second row (left to right) - A Novel Romance, Yield to Love, Hearts Aflame, Kelly Yum-Yum, Mystical, Enchanted One
Third row - Patentpink
Let's start with the first row.
Creme Cup is described as a light blue pink and is a cremesheen finish. This is like my lip color, but better. This is my go to lipstick if I am doing a simple makeup look.
Myth is described as a light neutral nude and is a satin finish. I use to wear this a ton, but now it's kinda rare for me to use it. Don't get me wrong, I like a good nude lip, but I'm starting to get into the darker nude lip now.
Snob is described as a light neutral pink and is a satin finish. This was my first lipstick that I bought from Mac and in my opinion a Mac classic. I would say every Mac fanatic has this lipstick and why shouldn't you?!
Please Me is described as a muted, rosy-tinted pink and is a matte finish. This is one of the few rose tinted lipsticks that I feel like I can pull off, but I've only worn it one or two times.
Speed Dial is described as a light blue pink and is a cremesheen finish. I kinda wish I didn't buy it because I just simply don't care for it.

Brave is described as a pink beige with white pearl and is a satin finish. I have been OBSESSED with this lipstick and is definitely my second favorite lipstick from Mac! I wanted that Kylie Jenner lip that is on trend and I couldn't have asked for a better color. I use Mac's Pro Longwear Lip Pencil in Hot'n'Spicy to help create more of a pout.
Ruby Woo is described as a very matte, vivid blue red and is a retro matte finish. Just a warning, this is a very matte lipstick, but it won't budge! It's such a beautiful red and looks just as good with a gloss over it.
Second Row
A Novel Romance is described as a light cool dusty pink and is a cremesheen finish. This is from Mac's A Novel Romance limited edition collection and I can't get over how much I love this color. Sadly this is sold out, but I'm sure you could find it on eBay and I am also searching for dupe.
Yield to love is described as a mid-tone rose and is a cremesheen finish. This was from Mac's A Novel Romance limited edition collection and I'm still not sure what to think of this color just yet. I don't think I'll be buying any rose tinted lipsticks anytime soon.
Hearts Aflame is described as a midtone brick red and is a matte finish. I was a little disappointed with this shade when I first got it because I thought it would be more of a light shade, but it is growing on me.
Kelly Yum-Yum is described as a neon pink and is a matte finish. This was from the Kelly Osbourne collection and to be honest, I haven't worn this out and I don't know if I ever will. Although, it is an awesome color to have in your collection.
Mystical is described as a midtone creamy rose and is a cremesheen finish. This is from the Alluring Aquatic collection and is very similar to Yield to Love, but Mystical is a little bit more lighter. Just like Yield to Love, I still don't know how I feel about this shade.
Enchanted One is described as a midtone neutral pink and is a matte finish. This is from the Alluring Aquatic collection and this is probably my third favorite Mac lipstick. I've transitioned from Myth to this shade over the past month and haven't really looked back. I will sometimes put Myth in the middle of my lips to create an ombre effect.
Third Row
Even though this isn't a lipstick, I'm still including this Patentpolish Lip Pencil because I didn't want him left out of the group. This is in the shade Patentpink and is described as a light blue pink and is more of a glossy finish. This is from the Sharon Osbourne collection and it's very moisturizing on the lips. It reminds me of Snob, but in a creme, glossy finish.
