MAC Lipsticks: Petals & Peacocks, Ever Hip, Blooming Lovely
MAC Give Me Liberty of London: Lipstick Reviews, Photos, Swatches
The lipsticks are in white packaging with the MAC for Liberty flowers and bird printed on the tube itself. There are four shades released, three of which are new, and one of which is PRO–Peachstock.
Lipsticks ($14.00 U.S. / $16.50 CDN)
- Petals & Peacocks is a creamy, brightened up fuchsia pink with an amplified finish. It’s like a mix of Show Orchid and Girl About Town–like the color of Show Orchid, but the texture and look of Girl About Town. It’s fun and playful, but you may have a hot pink in a similar shade.
- Ever Hip is a peachy-orange with a glossy sheen in a cremesheen finish. On my lips, it translates a bit more coral-pink because of the pink hue of my natural lip color. It’s not quite as opaque as I’d like once it gets on my lips, but it’s a nice shade of coral.
- Blooming Lovely is a subdued mauve-y lilac with a glossy sheen in an amplified finish. This an interesting color, because I’m not sure it’s one I could pull off by its lonesome. I’d definitely have to pair it with a gloss to brighten it up and make it more wearable for me. It’s like a lighter, more lilac version of Up the Amp, but it’s a way darker and less blue-based Saint Germain/Snob.
- Peachstock is a peachy-nude with a very creamy finish and opaque result. Reminded me of Freckletone a bit, but better coverage and less orange.

I just have a favor to ask. Is there a batch code on the bottom of these lipsticks? I bought a few off eBay and one has no batch code, so I am thinking it's a fake.
Mine are samples, so there are no batch codes on mine, sorry!
Ooh, I want Peachstock! Do you know of any dupes of it?
Peachstock is permanent at PRO!
hey! I was wondering if you think ever hip would work with an NC42 skintone, MAC's fashion flower collection is coming out with it as a re promote and i think i'd really like it!
Christine, do you think they will ever bring petals and peacocks back? ( i kno they are bringing every hip back for the flower power line) also what is the closest dupe for p&P?
hey christine, i know its been really long since this post but do you know whats the perfect dupe for petals and peacocks? cause i like both the colour and its finish so i really prefer it over show orchid thanks so much!(:
Girl About Town would be the closest permanent dupe.
What shade of lipstick did Johnny Depp wear in Alice in Wonderland?
I don't know - sorry!
I have Ever Hip, don't regret buying it. It's a lovely colour I can use everyday!
I regret not getting all these lipsticks. I'm so stupid. This collection and style black have been 2 of my all time favourites and I got nothing from either of them because I was busy with other things and just forgot. grrr
Aww :(
Hi Christine I bought Ever Hip from this collection and i love it so much i went back to try and get a backup but they had sold out at my nearest store and online :( Do you know any colours comparable to this ? Thanks
You could try Ravishing or See Sheer!
I love Petals & Peacocks and Ever Hip!
I want petals and peacocks!
Hey Christine, does ever hip could be use for everyday?
Sure!
hey christine, does you think lipstick is not highly recommended for teens like me, I have 14 years?
No, go for it :)
I see that Ever Hip looks a little more coral by itself and a little more pinkish on your lips. Do you know of a more pigmented version of Ever Hip (regardless what brand)that's something like that or that's in between the coralness of the tube color and/or the pinkishness of the way it looks on your lips? Ravishing is too much on the orange side to me, like you've said. If anything, leaning more like to an opaque Perrenial High Style lipglass.. Please & Thanks, and I love your reviews
MAC Cosmo maybe... Crosswires is similar, but the finish is different.
Am NC 37, can i pull of Blooming Lovely? I can pretty much pull off Up the amp n i have extremely pigmanted pink lips!
If you can pull of Up the Amp, I think so!
christine, how does peachstock compare to brave new bronze? which one is darker if theyre not similar?
The same darkness, but it doesn't have the pinkness that BNB has.
thanks <3
ever hip and blooming lovely is sold out online and at my local mac store? is this limited edition and will they restock????????
Most likely not :( Try Ravishing instead of Ever Hip, Snob or Pink Nouveau instead of Blooming Lovely.
OMG Peachstock is not getting enough credit! It's the PERFECT NUDE for medium skin tones!!!! Myth was always too light for me and all the other ones too pink or yellow... but this one is perfect!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SWATCHES! i love love the design! I'm def gonna go buy one! XD
Hi Christine!! what lipstick would you recommend to pair it with bough grey eyeshadow, blooming lovely or petals and peacocks? I thought i wasnt going to get any of the lipsticks but they are so pretty i can't help it :( lol
Petals & Peacocks!
Hey Christine, how does Ever Hip compare to Shy Girl? Are they similar?
More orange, IMO!
How does blooming lovely compare to lavender whip?
I find it darker/grayer.
Yay! Peachstock is finally up! So I usually use Cherish or Brave New Bronze as my nude l/s... do you think Peachstock would be another good nude? Or is too peachy? My lips aren't very pigmented, mind you & I'm about an NC42/43, if that helps at all.♥ Thanks Christine!
I don't think it'd be too peachy!
do you think ever hip is comparable to any permanent colors?? Also, from a personal standpoint, do you prefer show orchid or P&P?
Ravishing would be the closest, though it's not quite as orange. Petals & Peacocks is pretty, but I like the sheen of Show Orchid.
Is petals and peacocks similar to gladiola lipstick from the dame edna collection?
Pinker, but similar!
got ever hip earlier today based on your swatches and i love it! but if i already have ever hip do you think splendid from smashbox is worth getting as well?
I think they're different, but you could skip it and not miss too much :)
I picked up the Peachstock l/s along with Naked l/l and I think I finally found my perfect nude. I'm NC30.
how does Prim & Proper compare to Peaches blush?
Pinker!
Petals & Peacocks is sooooo Gorgeous and I love purple lips too so Blooming Lovely will be mine. I can't wait for this collection to launch in the UK.
