MAC Craving Lipstick
($14.50 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “burst of plum” and has an amplified creme finish. It’s a plummy pink with a subtle shine that applies opaque with very little product needed.
The amplified creme finish is designed to deliver opaque color coverage with a creamy texture and shiny finish. MAC Lipsticks are vanilla-scented but taste-free. Amplified cremes typically last four hours when I wear them, as they are more opaque and have a tendency to cling to lips (but are not drying).
Maybelline Bit of Berry is similar–less plum. Hourglass Nocturnal is redder. Guerlain Bee is darker but still similar in overall color.

Love this shade! Looks gorgeous on you.
This one is looking stunning on you Christine 😀 😀
love this color 😀 😀
you are looking adorable as always 😀 😀
Love it =)
these berry-ish colours look amazing on you!
It almost borders on mauve. I like the way it looks on you.
This was one of my first MAC lipsticks, and it’s my favorite berry. It looks good with everything.
Craving is probably my all time favourite lipsticks. I usually have 3 of them on the go – one in my purse, one in my bathroom and one in my kitchen drawer (I use the microwave as a “mirror” for quick application). I love it!
OMG, I’m going to have to get my hands on this. BTW, It looks so good on you Christine!
Do you think this would be a good color for fair and cool-toned skintypes? Or would it be too harsh? I’m looking for a plummy lipcolor for fall that’s not too dark 🙂
I think it would work! 🙂 You might also like Plumful.
Thank you for your reply Christine 🙂
I’m going to check them both out!
Love it! Its one I have to get for my collection!
One of my favorite lipsticks, I wear it with mac Half-Red lip liner. Its with a satin finish so will stay for a long time.
Actually I meant captive, sorry !
I thought it would be more pigmented. :)) But thank God it can be wearable on an everyday basis. Love the color! <3
It’s opaque – not sure how much more pigmented it could get!
Gosh Christine!!!
Your blog is both a blessing and a curse to me!! You always have such informative reviews with wonderful swatches and pictures but that makes me want to buy everything!!!!
Please, keep keep the fantastic reviews on lipsticks coming, they are my soft spot!! >.<
Thank you so much, Cait!
This reminds me a bit of Gem of Roses.
I agree it does look a little bit like gem of roses, both are pretty I just bought gem of roses today.
Thanks Christine for an amazing review!!
That is a gorgeous shade of pink! It looks so creamy and flawless, love it on you!
It looks exact dupe of Maybelline bit of berry lipstick!
This one and the Brick-o-la one looks great when swatched! And I absolutely love your smile. 🙂
Finally, a plum color I think I will like on me!
I’ve got this last year and is for sure one of my favorites! I like that its not too red and still gives you a nice lip color, very elegant in my opinion.
It’s just lovely on You. It’s perfect for now into Fall;
and will probably be my first MAC purchase! 😀
I have this lipstick, but it doesn´t get good for me, I look older and sad
Looks great on you Christine!
Ooh, lovely!
whoa, LOOOOVE! reminds me of a deeper Plumful, which is one of my fave MAC lipsticks. and i looove the aplified formula, very creamy and super pigmented.
OMG why don’t I have this ????????????????????? Must buy now ! Looks gorgeous on you Christine, as always xoxo
Ooh! Me likey!!!
wow this is beautiful, I’m going to get this soon 🙂
That’s so nice 😀
wow sweet shade
looks perfect on you
it looks more flattering on the lips than what i would’ve thought
Do you think the pictures show the right color ?
I have Craving and I love it! But I must say that this color in me looks much more darker than in your photo. My lips get exactly the color that appears in the lipstick’s photo.
My first ever MAC lipstick and still one of my favs! It’s so flattering and smile-brightening. This is – at least in my opinion – one of the most gorgeous shades in the MAC range.
This is really tempting me. Looks gorgeous 🙂
I love this shade! I was deciding between Craving and Plumful at the Nordstrom MAC counter today and decided on Craving 🙂 it’s so gorgeous 🙂
have this, love this.. and your blog is utterly gorgeous!!!! love you for having this blog 🙂
I love Mac Craving… my absolute favorite lipstick from Mac! It’s more pink than plum on my lips though
