A glimpse at the lips: MAC's Huggable Lipcolour in Out for Passion and Feeling Amorous?
/
Hugs and kisses!
Twelve colours round out MAC's limited edition Huggable Lipcolour collection, which promises to deliver high shine (and colour) for up to six hours.
Erm, six hours? Not so much.
Try three. Tops.

Inspired by Asian trends, MAC injected loads of emollients in order to achieve patent leather-like shine --however, the gel-ish texture has proven to be MAC's achilles heel. While the colours are pretty, albeit not unique, they fail to last. It's summertime on your lips and the neighbourhood kids are playing on the Slip n' Slide. Whee?
My full lips might look a tad fuller and feel pillow-y soft when pursed and puckered, with that said I'd definitely trade this feeling (just a little bit) for long-lasting colour.
Out for Passion - "soft warm cream rose"
Feeling Amorous? - "midtonal fuchsia cream"

Final Thoughts..
Skip these. There are far better and cheaper options out there. And if you're looking for lots of shine, pick up a cheap clear gloss from Maybelline and layer it over your most-loved shade of lipstick.
