MAC Fabulous Felines: Palace Pedigreed Review, Photos, Swatches (Lips & Cheek)
Make sure you’ve read part one, which covers all of the eyeshadows, pigments, and eyeliners!
Lipstick ($14.50 U.S. / $17.50 CDN)
- Aristo-Cat is a semi-opaque played-down pink with mauve and a golden-peach sheen and high frost finish. It has a cooler tone to it, though not overly so (closer to neutral than really cool). This is a very frosty lipstick, so if that’s not your thing, I’d definitely skip this shade. I really like the color, and no immediately dupes are coming to mind — it’s kind of like the cool-toned version of Fresh Salmon (Spring Colour Forecast).
- Cunning is a semi-sheer deep berry red with a supposedly frost finish. This doesn’t feel or look like a frost at all to me–it has more of a glaze or lustre feel and look. I find this shade rather streaky, and it seems to accentuate every single line in my lips. Might be nicer as a stain.
- Of Royalty is a creamy, light-medium pink with subtle blue undertones, so it’s one of those candy pink lipsticks… that actually doesn’t take on an almost purple look (like Saint Germain, Snob, etc.). However, it is rather similar to that family of shades (Saint Germain, Snob, VG Gaga, etc. etc.). It has a cremesheen finish.
- Superior is a sheer pink and silvered-white glittered lipstick with a dazzle finish. It’s more of a layering shade than to be worn alone (and by layering, it helps keep the glitter from migrating elsewhere, too).
Lipglass ($14.50 U.S. / $17.50 CDN)
- Best of Breed is an ultra sheer, pale, cloudy blue with multicolored shimmer, though predominantly white shimmer. It’s similar to Chillin’, but it has shimmer. It will give lips a slightly cooler tone, but overall.
- Docile is a sheer, cool-toned, iridescent pale, milky pink with multicolored shimmer. It reminded me of Icescape, or a lighter, more muted version of Cultured lipglass.
- Lap of Luxury is a reddened berry with multicolored shimmer, though predomindantly darkened pink. It’s semi-opaque, but it does settle a bit into lip lines and can look blotchy if you aren’t careful. I feel like I’ve seen this color but I’m blanking on possible dupes at the moment, but hopefully will have some for you next week when I update the post with missing items. Right now, it reminds me of the lipglass version of Odyssey lipstick.
Mineralize Blush ($21.00 U.S. / $25.00 CDN)
- Pet Me is a soft, medium pink with yellow undertonse, which makes it a warmer pink. It doesn’t appear to have any shimmer, though perhaps a very subtle sheen. Overall, more of a semi-matte finish, though. If you liked Dainty, you’d probably like this shade.

Aristo-cat lipstick is fantastic! A must have for me. But generally I’m not impressed with this collection even though I love neutrals
I feel the same way. I thought I’d love this collection. I’m stoked on Aristo-cat, but the rest is kind of meh.
I agree with both of you! and to have a cat theme with no special packaging seems kind of useless
Cunning and Lap of Luxury are going to look SO hot on me!
I agree!
I love the look of Aristo-cat,and I can’t help but love the name! I think I might end up with that and probably Kittenish. I can’t seem to talk myself out of either and they look like fantastic fall/winter colors!
I really hate frosty lipsticks usually but Aristo-Cat looks amazing on you Christine…I’m wondering if I should get it, the colour looks so unique to me.
I must have Best of Breed and Docile!
great swatches, christine!
quick question if you don’t mind, how would you compare pet me to dainty?
Dainty is a little lighter, more shimmer, less yellow.
OOh haven’t been on temptalia for a few days so i’m just catching up on the posts! i like aristo cat lipstick and docile lipgloss the best! very pretty!
Yay!
yeah me too, i had to work the last 3 12 hr nite shifts so i was so excited to see the new mac collection review for this already up. its a daily ritual to get on this site and see if theirs any news on the new mac collections. im still soo bummed that they arent going to come out with the rodarte collection-their was alot of pretty colors in that collection- i hope they come out with some of them underneath something else soon next year! =)
That blush looks amazing on you. I don’t usually get excited about MAC releases, but I like this release.
Thanks, Tracey!
Thank you Christine for working so diligently to get the swatches up so quickly.
You’re welcome!
This collection has been kind of a snooze so far. Not pigmented at all. Aristo-cat looks somewhat unique.
i think the prob so far with mac is that we are getting so tired of seeing the same colors in all these collections mac keeps on pushing out so close together- so then when we finally see a collection we are kind numb. i wish they would spread them out so we can build up anticipation and see some new colors. and have them put more thought/uniqueness in their collections.
Aww… Superior and Of Royalty are the two lipsticks I’m looking forward to seeing their swatches… Hopefully they will be in stock so soon!
These shades look so pretty on you, Christine! 🙂
How do you compare Pet Me to NARS Deep Throat?
Pet Me is nothing like Deep Throat, IMO!
Thank you for these swatches. I really like Best of Breed and Aristo-cat is gorgeous! You’re so right about how similar some of these are to other products. I was thinking the same thing when I saw Best of Breed, Docile and Pet Me.
You’re welcome, Carrie Ann!
Wow Christine, thanks so much for the previews! I was looking forward to Of Royalty the most but I guess I’ll have to wait =D. Aristocat is also pretty but frosts dry out my lips like no other unfortunately. Looks great on you!
No problem, Julie 🙂
Thanks!
Is it just me or does MAC reallllly like putting out a pink lipstick in every single collection? =D I got All Styled Up and Viva Glam Gaga so I won’t be getting Of Royalty lol.
That blush is gorgeous! And the name adds to its appeal.
Okay.. my wishlist keeps growing. I hope it’s not weird that I have a longer wish list for this collection than the Villains collection.
The pic of u wearing pet me blush is absolutely STUNNING! Ur best look ever! <3
Thanks, Virgg!
I have been waiting for your swatches for Fabulous Felines! Thanks Christine.
No prob, Kali!
Hi cristine thanks 4 the hard work 🙂 !!!!! … I was wondering what lipstick u were using when u try the blushes ????.. thanks again ..xoxo
Drive Me Wild Lipstick
Lap of Luxury is gorgeous!
Wow, Aristo-cat looks stunning!
Aaah You have seen the lap of luxury before it was released in the Baroque Boudoir collection except that one was called ”The lap of luxury” and was a pale pink on the other hand the lipgloss called O’Nouveau also from Baroque Boudoir resembles the Lap of luxury from this collection
Ohh, no, I meant the color, haha. But good call on the name being very much the same (and it’s nice to note that the color is totally different, lol).
Thanks, Jazz 🙂
i love the ariso-cat colour! but i know i can’t wear colours like that 😛
I really like Aristo-cat lipstick, it would be a great everyday lippie for me, but the rest (at least in this entry) I’ll pass on.
Thank you for the swatches, Christine! With such a huge collection that’s a lot of swatches to get through!
You’re welcome, Sharon! 🙂
I think Lap of Luxury looks like a more blue-toned version of Decorative lustreglass– Decorative doesn’t have blue shimmers but it’s similar in tone though maybe slightly less opaque.
I’ll definitely be getting Aristo-cat.
the lipstick in the last picture looks great on you!! 🙂
Thanks, Missy!
If I’m getting one thing from this collection, it would definitely be Aristo-cat! It looks gorgeous!! I’m also considering the liquid eyeliners.
I just fell in love….. Aristo-Cat is awesomely beautiful!!!!!
How pretty!
best of breed lip gloss is the kind of color i’m initially attracted to that is actually not that flattering (or only good for layering) on. dissapointing…
How similar is Pet Me to Dainty?
Dainty is a little lighter, more shimmer, not as yellow.
Lap Of Luxury and Aristo Cat=LOVE. PURE, SHINY LOVE.
aristo-cat paired with docile l/g = amaaaazing….
is aristo-cat lipstick similar to plum dandy lipstick from the permanent line?
Frostier, pinker.
Im not sure whether to get pet me blush or not?
Do you think its a must have?
I don’t think it’s a must have!
Aristocat looks stunning on you Christine. Really pretty. 🙂
Thanks, Jennifer!
I was wondering if you had Of Royalty swatches yet.. thanks!
It’s there?!
i’m so gonna get lap of luxury. it will work perfektly with the burgundy lipstick i got at the drugstore 😀
Christine,
you look fabulous in darker lippies and glosses! so cool!
got a quick question, I know you haven’t looked for the dupes yet, just wondering: can Pet Me blush be similar in any way to Pinch O’Peach blush, can Utterly Game be of any similarity to Style blush? And finally – last time you advised Stereo Rose for my skin tone (NC15, doesn’t like too pinky and too orangey blushers, prefers peaches etc)and it is PERFECT 🙂 which of these two mineral blushes would you advise?
Thanks in advance!!!
Utterly Game is rather peachy, so you might like that, BUT if you can check things out in store, you may find Pet Me surprising – because it’s a yellower pink.
Utterly Game is kind of like a darker, slightly more orange Peaches, I’d say. Kind of like Style, maybe not quite as orange or as bright. I wouldn’t say Pet Me is like Pinch o’ Peach, though!
Thanks a lot! You actually made me lean more towards Pet Me… If you say utterly Game is on the darker side than Style and Pet Me is not close to Pinch o’Peach – that’s the info I was looking for 🙂
thanks again!
It might be worth trying – not often that we see a yellow-toned pink blush 😉
Hi Christine,
Thanks for putting up such comprehensive swatches! Can’t wait to test out the products in person. Btw, what lipstick are you wearing with Pet Me, it’s gorgeous!
TS
Drive Me Wild!
I’ll have to get that for sure!
wish I could get a sample of Royalty…I’m going as Snooki for Halloween and that color would be PURRFECT! 😛
Hi Christine
I just would like to know, is Superior very sheer when applied and is it mostly pigmented from the glitters in it?
Do you think it is worth getting compared to the other Dazzle lipsticks?
Thanks!
Yes, mostly glitter! It’s just all right, IMO!
Can Of Royalty be quite sheer with one coat? I’m around an NC35, do you think it would be too light for me? Thanks!!
I think so 🙂 But no, I think you could rock it!
Drive me wild and pet me blush is so gorgeous. I already have hipness do you think i should still get pet me? Thanks.
I think you could – it still has a lot more pink to it.
Lap of Luxury lipglass looks a lot like Little Vi lustreglass…
Thanks for the swatches, Christine. You look great!
By the way, may I ask how Of Royalty compares with Angel and Creme Cup?
Closer to Angel, but a lil’ lighter/brighter.
Would Docile look good over Aristo-cat lipstick?
Yes!
Is Docile lipglass similar to Lull Lipglass?
Similar, but a lil’ pinker.
Cunning and Pet Me were made for you Christine!
You’re not killing my lemming for Pet Me though, lol.
How similar is this to Saint germain?? Looks pretty similar in pics?! Thanks
It’s not as cool-toned or as light.
I agree. Nothing in this collection wowed me. But while swatching the collection I fell in love with Aristocat. Then the MAC salesperson told me to put Best of Breed Lipglass on top. Soooo stunning. I’m glad I got both 🙂
Christine, doesn’t Aristo-Cat look a lot like Creme De La Femme from the pemanent shades(although I’d say the latter is a littler pinkier whereas Aristo is more brownish)?
I think Creme de la Femme is a little more lilac!
Is “Of Royalty” similar to “Lazy Day” Lipstick?
Not quite as pale, a bit pinker!
Hey Christine, thanks for getting all these swatches out!
I have a question: is Docile just a sticky as all the other MAC lipglasses?
Because I like the colour but I really can’t do stickiness.
Thanks!
Yes, it is!
Christine, what was the lip color(s) you were wearing when in the Pet Me blush picture? That’s a great color!
Drive Me Wild
Does anyone know where I can find the Aristocat lipstick?? My Macy’s store said it is a limited edition and they are no longer carrying it. The MAC website doesn’t list it either! 🙁
You could search Google Shopping and see if Nordstrom, Dillards, Bloomingdales, etc. still have it.
Hi, could anyone tell me whats the diffence between this MAC Aristo-Cat Lipstick & Benefits Sassy-frass lipstick please? Id be greatful to hear back from anyone. Thanks
@Carla25 Aristocat is a bit lighter and more metallic.
@Christine (Temptalia)
so benefits sassy-frass is alot darker than aristocat?Also the Mac pet me please, is that a browney/mauve?
@Carla25 Not a lot darker, just darker! Pet Me Please is nothing like either of those!
@Christine (Temptalia)
I think ill like aristocat, cos its looks alot nicer than the benefit sassy frass. mac lipstick pet me please, is that like a frosty browny, with a mauve/silver sheen? x
@Carla25 Yes, kind of like that!
@Christine (Temptalia)
Hiya, i wanted to ask whats the difference between mac aristocat and MAC Courting Lilac Lipstick please? Thank you
@Carla25 Courting Lilac is a little pinker, but they’re similar.
