MAC Laissez-Faire, Hey Frenchie, Mon Coeur Love Me Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Laissez-Faire
MAC Laissez-Faire Love Me Lipstick ($19.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a soft, rosy pink with muted, warmer undertones and a luminous finish. It had good color coverage that applied evenly across my lips comfortably. The lipstick had a lightweight, thinner feel to it that wasn’t clingy and had enough slip that it didn’t tug on my lips. There was a little bit of product that sank into my deeper lip lines, though it wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. It wore well for three hours and was lightly hydrating while worn.

Formula Overview
$23.00/0.1 oz. - $230.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "lighter-than-air texture" with "all-day moisturization" paired with "intense color and soft shine." They had semi-opaque to fully opaque color coverage in a single layer, and most of the shades applied evenly and smoothly to my lips without emphasizing lip texture or sinking noticeably into my lip lines.
The texture was very lightweight, lightly creamy without too much slip, yet there was a distinctive shine to the finish. The luminosity wore down within an hour or so of wear. The formula seemed like a cross between Amplified and Cremesheens, yet there was no tackiness, and the Love Me formula was much lighter and thinner (without being clingy). The wear has ranged from three to six hours and has been lightly to moderately hydrating. They had a sweet, vanilla scent (typical of the brand) but no discernible taste.

Hey Frenchie
MAC Hey Frenchie Love Me Lipstick ($19.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a muted, medium rosy mauve with neutral-to-cool undertones and a luminous sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in one layer, which was paired with a lightweight, lightly creamy texture that felt thin but never clingy. I was surprised at how thin and lightweight it was, yet it still glided on without tugging and didn’t catch on imperfections or emphasize my lip lines. The color stayed on well for four hours and was lightly moisturizing over time.

Mon Coeur
MAC Mon Coeur Love Me Lipstick ($19.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a bright, medium plum with cool undertones and a cream finish. It was a bit less luminous–a little heavier in look, not in feel–than other shades I tried in the formula. It had rich color payoff that applied beautifully to my lips–smooth, even coverage that didn’t catch on imperfections or highlight my lip lines. The lipstick was comfortable to apply and to wear over the four and a half hours it lasted for. The formula felt lightly hydrating while worn.

All of these are beautiful!
Oh my, I love Hey Frenchie and don’t have any dupes with a cool undertone like that. This is very tempting.
Oh, these are lovely colors!!
I really love Laissez-Faire and Hey Frenchie.
When I ordered Mary J Blige French Silk, I actually believed it would look how Laissez-Faire looks instead of a light pink color. If it had, I would have been so in love with it! A perfect pinky-nude that doesn’t have a white base in it.
I’m also really digging Hey Frenchie! That’s a pretty one. And like nothing else I own, I don’t see any vanity dupes for a change, LOL.
I must be on a lipstick kick. Love all 3 of these too.
I’m interested in Mon Couer. I like that it’s a variation of MAC Craving. The texture on these look interesting, like a medium to full coverage balm.
Really lovely lipstick shades, beautiful colours for autumn.
I love Hey Frenchie; it is a beautiful shade for the autumn. To me, it’s the perfect balance between rosy and mauve, and it is not too dark for my fair skin.
I’m loving all three of these. Beautiful colors and opacities.
Oooh I love these. Luminous without being too slippery.
I’ll check out Laissez-Faire when it shows up in-store. Looks like it could be a great everyday shade for me.
Also btw do you have the ingredients for these, Christine?
Sorry, I didn’t receive boxes, otherwise they would have been included!
I lol’ed at the name “laissez faire”! And a stunning trio of shades!
Laissez-Faire looks so beautiful!
