MAC Mangrove Lipstick
MAC Mangrove Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “hot, bright red [with a Matte finish].” It’s a bold, bright, medium orange-red with strong, orange undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had good pigmentation that covered evenly and smoothly. The consistency was thinner but not so thin that it dragged nor did it apply sheerly. On me, it lasted for six hours and left a stain behind, though it was also a bit drying. This is a repromote. Urban Decay Tilt (P, $18.00) is less glossy (95% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Tantalize (Right) (LE, ) is lighter (95% similar). Bite Beauty Blood Orange (DC, $24.00) is brighter (95% similar). ColourPop Succulent (LE, $6.50) is less glossy (85% similar).

MAC Nifty Neon Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as an “orange [with an Amplified finish].” I’t s a light-medium, yellowed orange with warm undertones and a creamy, lightly shiny finish. The pigmentation was fully opaque, and it covered evenly. The texture was moderately emollient, comfortable to apply and to wear, and went on smoothly. The color wore well for four hours on me and was lightly hydrating. MAC Sheer Mandarin (LE, $17.00) is more shimmery, darker (90% similar). MAC Tropical Buzz (LE, $25.00) is brighter (90% similar). Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Covet (DC, $18.00) is lighter (90% similar). MAC Gold Xixi (P, $19.00) is lighter, cooler (80% similar). ColourPop Oouuuu!

MAC Gold Xixi Lipstick ($17.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “lemony pastel yellow [with a Lustre finish].” It’s a light-medium yellow with strong, warm undertones and a lustrous sheen. It had semi-sheer coverage on its own–not unexpected, given the Lustre finish–that goes on unevenly and pulls into lip lines. The color lasted for two and a half hours on its own. Like Frosting, it would be more practical to use to mix and layer with other shades, though it will add some slip to whatever you layer it with, so I liked it best patted on the center of lips or over a more matte lipstick. This is a repromote. Dior Sunny Matte (610) (LE, $35.00) is brighter, less glossy (90% similar). Sephora Primal Instinct (77) (LE, $8.00) is less shimmery, darker (85% similar). Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Covet (DC, $18.00) is warmer (85% similar). MAC Wild Extract (P, $19.00) is more shimmery, darker, cooler (85% similar). NYX Citron (P, $6.00) is less shimmery, lighter, brighter (90% similar). MAC Nifty Neon (P, $19.00) is darker, warmer (80% similar). NARS Liguria (P, $28.00) is darker, warmer (85% similar). MAC Yellow You Dare (LE, $19.00) is more pigmented, less glossy (85% similar). NYX Orange Blossom (P, $6.00) is lighter (80% similar). MAC Sheer Mandarin (LE, $17.00) is darker, warmer (80% similar). MAC St Marks Yellow (LE, $19.00) is more shimmery, lighter, cooler (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

Oooh I like the layered effect.
It does mix well with more matte shades!
With my yellow undertones, this is a hard group for me to pull off, but I like Mangrove mixed with Xixi on you
Thank you, Katherine!
It’s kind of weird they named the yellow lipstick Gold Xixi. Xixi in Portugese is pee.
The shade is from the Chris Chang collaboration 🙂
Apparently, in Chinese, it is a participle that exaggerates. Kind of like ‘too too’ meaning OTT. in Chinese net speak, it’s kind of like lol, but with a silly or naive connotation. The marvels of the net, with instant info gratification.
The shade of Mangrove is so bright and sexy. Wish Xixi were more of a winner.
I wish it applied more evenly!
Wow beautiful lipsticks. I love them all.
They are!
I love Mangrove! Nifty Neon is too orange for my teeth. Gold Xixi will be a pass as well. I wish someone would come out with an opaque bright yellow.
Mangrove is a pretty one! 🙂
Mangrove is one of my favorite spring/summer lipsticks ever!
Nice!
Mangrove looks really pretty, but I have a dupe or two for it probably. Nifty Neon looks nice too, I do wish Xixi had not been a lustre finish, rather an amplified maybe? It would’ve been a nice option for people who want an opaque yellow lipstick.
I wonder how Gold Xixi would look as an amplified!
Loving the eye look, Christine! 😀
Aw, thanks!
Mangrove packs a punch without being too shocking! I like it! Too warm for me but what a great summer shade.
It does!
I’m glad Nifty Neon Lipstick is not sheer!! yeah for Orange! I’m surprised how much lighter NYX Orange Blossom is to it.
I’m still glad I got NYX Citron over Gold XIXI….
Me too!! 🙂
Mangrove is lovely! And even more so with Gold XiXi over it!
I am thinking I could replicate Mangrove by using 2 I already have: Lady Danger with a bit of Make Me Gorgeous blended in for more sheen?
I definitely think you could mix Lady Danger with that, or even just a little gloss 🙂
Is there a difference between Mangrove and Mangrove with the Gold lippie on top ? I cannot See a difference.
It goes from matte to glossy and warms up 🙂
Ohhh Mangrove is gorgeous on you!
Thanks, Sue!
Just tried my Gold xixi from Chris Chang underneath Nacho Cheese Explosion Lipglass from The Simpsons, they look quite good together, actually! 🙂
Woohoo! Thanks for sharing!
Hey Christine, Do you think its an exact color of the one came out originally?
Which one?
I’m so sorry , my apologies
MANGROVE
Yes, it’s the same to me!
Oooooh Nifty Neon is better than I expected! It’s on my list! Ps I love how it looks on your with your eyemakeup!
Thanks, Bonnie!
