Apricot Gold
MAC Apricot Gold Lipstick ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a medium, peachy brown with warm, orange undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation with a soft, lightly creamy texture that had moderate slip and glided across my lips without tugging. The color applied evenly and stayed on well for four and a half hours with a lightly hydrating feel over time.

Formula Overview
$17.50/0.10 oz. - $175.00 Per Ounce
MAC Lipstick comes in a variety of finishes, and the pigmentation and wear tend to be dependent on the finish. The sheer finishes, like Lustres, tend to wear for only a couple of hours and have sheer coverage (as designed) and are non-drying. Some of the original Matte shades have a stiffer, drier formula, while newer ones have a more velvety, silicone-feel to them, and the latter are creamier, more comfortable to wear, and easier to apply, but most Matte shades are quite pigmented and long-wearing, though some are drying. The Amplified and Satin finishes tend to have good pigmentation, lightly creamy to moderately creamy consistencies with a bit of shine, and moderate to long wear with deeper, richer shades wearing longer. The Frost and Metallic finishes have the most variance between shades with coverage ranging from semi-sheer to opaque with average wear and non-drying to slightly drying formulas. All MAC lipsticks are vanilla-scented but have no discernible taste.

Blue Blood
MAC Blue Blood Lipstick ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is a bright, medium red with strong, cool undertones and a matte finish. The color payoff was fantastic, while the consistency was smooth, velvety, and firm without being too stiff that it dragged on my lips. It wore well for over six hours, left a stain behind, and felt a touch drying after five hours of wear.
