MAC Diva Antics Lipstick
MAC Diva Antics Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as an “intense reddish burgundy.” It’s a dark, berry-red with very subtle pink pearl and a natural finish. It had mostly opaque color payoff with a lightly creamy consistency that applied beautifully and lasted for six hours, while also leaving behind a stain. The formula was neither drying nor hydrating but generally comfortable to wear. MAC Labradorable (LE, $25.00) is less pigmented, cooler (85% similar).

It had good pigmentation that was nearly full coverage in one stroke, while the consistency was thinner compared to the other two shades. It was still easy to apply and didn’t drag when applied.

It had mostly opaque color coverage that applied evenly without tugging on the lips. The texture was just creamy enough to apply well but not enough to slide around once on.

Diva Antics is a common red, but it’s still pretty and well done
Agreed 🙂
I’m loving all! I’m thinking I may have Fashion Revival. but, if it was a LE a long time ago, I possibly could have missed it. So, I have to check my stash. Otherwise, I think I’m going for all of these. Are these a different formula or has Mac just increased their prices?
Same as their regular lipstick formula!
Ok. Idk why.But, for some reason I mixed a $22.00 lipstick from somewhere in here. I like this price tag!
Looks like I’m going to have to get the diva antics lipstick. It looks gorgeous!
Yay!
I’m not following MAC’s pricing policies here, didn’t they just raise the price of their lipsticks to $17? And these will be $16.50?
That’s what the press release said (I don’t remember pricing offhand, so I usually refer to the press release since I am getting descriptions from there), but it’s possible that they’re not synced up on pricing yet (likely the press release was written months prior).
Fashion Revival is very pretty. Glad to see it got a good rating.
It is!
These are all really nice! Dupeable, but nice! What formula are they, satin?
MAC didn’t list them in the press release, and the labels on mine are lab labels, so they don’t say.
I really like Self-Aware and it is a satin finish which I really like.
Yay!
Maybe it’s a consequence of reading your blog everyday, but I feel like I’ve seen these colors so much in the last few months. That said, it’s nice to see that all of these colors got high marks! Unfortunately, it seems like MAC has had as many misses as hits lately.
MAC puts out a LOT of the same shades over the year 🙁
Are the lipsticks back down to $16.50 again? Or is that just a mistake in the post?
I went off the press release, but the press release might wrong then.
How I love Diva Antics for a rich, dark fall shade; except for the name! Because I already have Diva and Diva-ish, this could cause confusion while grabbing a shade on the fly. Why MAC overuses “Diva” in its lipstick names, I just don’t know? But it’s ridiculous!
Last year I tried in vain to nab Fashion Revival, now it’s back. However, having gotten UD After Dark, I no longer need to chase FR!
After Dark <3
I like them all except the last one. The yellowish beige nudes always make me look dead.
Do you think you’ll pick up any of them, Rachel?
I was considering it, but decided not to. There are too many holiday things I may want to grab. 🙂
How similar is Self-Aware to Freckletone or Freshbrew?
It’s less beige, yellower I think!
Will you review Deep Love or did you already address its absence here?
I didn’t receive it. I’m very sorry!
I really like Diva Antics. It looks like a red that would be right for those who are a bit afraid of reds. It looks very “easy to wear”.
I like Fashion Revival and My Inner Femme as well, I can’t wear colours like Self-Aware, though I like how it looks on your lips. I look dead when I try this type of colour.
Self-Aware is one of those shades that is very undertone-dependent, I think!
Love Diva Antics – such a gorgeous colour that I would wear endlessly. It’s good to see MAC getting some decent ratings for their products too. The only colour I was disappointed in was Self Aware – a lot more pigment would have made this lipstick stunning. Way too pale.
However, I really like this range.
It is! Not too bright, not too dark.
I’m not usually one for nude lips, but iI think Self-aware looks great on you!
Thanks, Kristy!
Hiya 🙂 How does Diva Antics compare (colorwise not just finish wise) to Studded Kiss and Charlotte? I’ve already used the swatch gallery but unlike you, I’m actually hopeless at noticing the differences. I’m only asking ‘cuz I’ve already got the other two (Studded Kiss, Charlotte) but since Diva Antics has a different finish and you gave it a high rating, I’m thinkin’ I just might pick it up.
Charlotte from MAC? Charlotte from MAC is brighter and redder (totally different). Studded Kiss is warmer, browner 🙂
These look so pretty! I recently bought MAC Rebel and I fear I’m hooked on the MAC lipstick train again… They’re just so, so good.
Uh oh! 😉
How similar are Diva and Diva Antics?
Diva Antics is darker and cooler-toned.
Fashion Revival is such a pretty berry!
It is!
I thought this collection had 5 lipstick shades? Is deep love missing?
Sorry, I am not always able to obtain all shades. I don’t really get a say in that – MAC sends what they can!
Diva Antics (love that name) and Fashion Revival are gorgeous! Did you use lip liners with each of them? Your application is flawless! (I know you have a lot of practice lol) I missed FR previously, but I’m definitely grabbing it this time!
Hey Katie!
I never use lip liners with swatches … unless the product swatched is a lip liner 🙂
Flawless application it is, then. lol Would I be too much trouble if I asked if you had any recommendations for MAC liners to wear with Diva Antics and Fashion Revival? Thank you for your time! 🙂
For Fashion Revival: Nightingale
For Diva Antics: He Said, She Said or Ms. Diva or Brick
Thank you very much! I really appreciate that you take the time to answer all of our questions! Have a wonderful weekend!
Those all look super on you! I’m going to check out Diva Antics. I’m wearing colors like that a lot lately.
Thanks, Kelly!
My Inner Femme is definitely my type of shade.
Yay!
Holy cow, your earrings are gorgeous. I know you’ve shared the link before, but would you mind telling me where you got them? Your whole makeup look in these pics is beautiful.
Here you go! http://etsy.com/shop/bellaanelajewelry
All of these are nice but Diva Antics and Fashion Revival are both nice.
Nicer that is!
They are!
I really like Fashion Revival! How does this compare to MAC’s permanent lipstick in Rebel?

I really like Diva Antics! Fashion Revival looks nice too
Fashion Revival is a nice one!
Any news on my question yet?
I just answered!
Thank you!
The collection just came online here in NL and I couldn’t resist buying Diva Antics. Hope it looks good on me 😀 (And that I don’t have any shades that are too similar)
Enjoy it, Djilan!!
