MAC Inolvidable & Queen of Cumbia Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Inolvidable
MAC Inolvidable Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium, pink-coral with moderate, warm undertones and flecks of gold sparkle throughout. The texture was noticeably gritty from the glitter–it wasn’t the most comfortable to apply in a fluid motion–and did not seem to apply evenly.
The product was prone to settling into my deeper lip lines and emphasized lip texture/imperfections. It had semi-opaque color coverage that stayed on decently for three and a half hours and felt neither drying nor hydrating.

Formula Overview

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.

LELimited Edition. $19.00.
Queen of Cumbia
MAC Queen of Cumbia Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a deep red with subtle, cool undertones paired with a faint, “matte” metallic finish. There was a metallic quality to the finish, but it was significantly less foiled and overtly shimmery than a typical metallic, and it didn’t have a lot of shine.
The consistency was dense, a little firm in the tube, and there was a bit of tug when I tried to apply it in a fluid stroke, so I’d recommend applying it in shorter, overlapping strokes to get the best coverage and least tugging. It had opaque pigmentation that applied evenly with very minor emphasis of lip lines/lip texture. It stayed on well for five hours, left a faint stain behind, and felt non-drying.

Hello, I was wondering if you know if the makeup bag for this collection will be available online at retailers too? Please let me know. Thank you.
I’m not sure!
Well I’m a dummy! I saw the review on the other 2 lipsticks, but I didn’t spot this one before I ordered. So I did order Inolvadible…oh boy. ?♀️
Perhaps it won’t be so bad over either a lip primer or another lipstick as a topper. I can only hope, huh?
Now the one I ought to have ordered is Queen Of Cumbia! I’m really digging the matte metallic look!
Maybe a little gloss 🙂
True! I do have a few that would work well with Inolvadible, Nars Orgasm gloss and plain old clear.
I have the NARS Orgasm in a few forms and like them a lot. Glad I checked dupes bc I like this one two.
Queen appeared dry to me although the color is awesome. Glad to read it wasn’t dry.
Queen of Cumbria is a pretty shade, but it looks so dehydrating on your lips and I don’t care for the mattish finish.
This is a collection where it will sell well no matter how the reviews are, and I am glad. I grew up surrounded by Selena fans (and was a bit of one myself) so I am very happy that they get to celebrate her legacy. Anything for Selenas!
Queen of Cumbria is gorgeous, and has such an interesting finish. I love the rose embossing on these lipsticks.
