MAC La-Di-Dahlia & Forget-Me-Naughty Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
La-Di-Dahlia
MAC La-Di-Dahlia Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and a satin finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which adhered evenly across my lips, but the texture was on the thicker side, which resulted in the product pulling away and settling into my lip lines.
It was possible to smooth it back into place, and the issue diffused a bit as the color became more matte over time. The color wore well for five hours and felt non-drying.

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.

Forget-Me-Naughty
MAC Forget-Me-Naughty Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a brighter, light-medium purple with subtle, cool undertones and a satin finish. It had opaque color coverage in a single stroke, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging.
The texture was lightly creamy–enough to be comfortable but not slide around during wear–and emphasized my lip lines slightly as the color pulled away noticeably up-close but wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. It stayed on well for five hours and felt neither drying nor hydrating over time.

that lavender is so cute!
La-di-Dahlia is super pretty looking and I may get it! It may have just enough depth to be attractive on me.
I love the idea of lipsticks like Forget-Me-Naughty so much, but they make me look like I haven’t brushed my teeth in weeks lmao
I was certain this was an exact dupe for PMG’s Faux Pas! Glad it’s not!
La Di-Dahlia makes my heart go pitter patter but I have at least 2 of the dupes so my no buy on MAC will continue.
The pink shade is pretty, but I see what you mean about the lipstick settling into your lip lines though.
That lavender shade is my favorite , I definitely want to try it, I have similar shades , but I love having back ip as this shade is my go to shade .
