MAC Oh, Oh, Oh Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches (Archie's Girls)

MAC Oh, Oh, Oh Lipstick

MAC Oh, Oh, Oh Lipstick ($16.50 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “sheer brown plum” with a Lustre finish. Swatched, it’s a muted plum with gold shimmer. On my lips, it looked like a reddish-plum with gold shimmer. NARS Christina is much redder. Benefit Breakup Rumor is purpler. MAC Funbathing is less red and has a stronger golden sheen. MAC Capricious has more plum in it and less shimmer. This shade is a repromote–it originally launched with MAC Me Over.

One of the best things about Oh, Oh, Oh, is that it is oh, oh, oh so different applied than it is in the tube and even, to a small degree, swatched on the skin. It’s a very cool lipstick as a result–it is a total chameleon and very much dependent on your natural lip color, which is a consequence of the translucent nature of the Lustre finish. It has some creaminess, but it has a thinner consistency and didn’t glide completely smoothly across lips.  Oh, Oh, Oh wore for just under three hours on me.

If it wasn’t a Lustre finish, it’s definitely a shade I could see myself using a lot, but unfortunately, Lustres are drying on me–some terribly so, others only mildly–and I know some readers find this to be true, while others have experienced more hydrating wear!  If Lustres are a happy formula for your lips, then I recommend checking this shade out.

Hi Christine, I also think that Oh, Oh, Oh is a shade that you can use very often, but it seems like its different now on the tube from its original release from MAC Me Over, don’t you think?

Christina when will this be instores for Macys? I really want Betty Bright. Do you think it’ll sell out the same day? Oh and will the whole collection be on Nordstrom. B/c past collections were missing (some items) Thanks!

I just ordered this because of your review. Thank you Christine. I remember seeing it last year and wanting to order it then but it sold out very quickly if I remember correctly. This is my first MAC purchase. 🙂 I got free shipping too and all that I ordered was this lipstick. Good deal.

That is SERIOUSLY cool! I wonder how it would appear on me, as I really dislike shades with brown leanings. If it appeared on my lips like it does on yours Christine, I’d be ALL over it! I think I’m going to have to try it on when it launches here in Australia.

I didn’t buy this when MAC Me Over came out because I decided to go with Offshoot. I definitely won’t pass this up now. It’s oh, oh, oh so pretty and I have no doubt it will be a great everyday shade. 🙂

Oh, I love the colour, but I am afraid that drying stuff isn’t for me. 🙂

I love seeing your review pictures, you seem to be able to pull off any make-up and still look amazing! Everything looks flattering on you, and I am quite jealous. XD

You make every lipstick look good….this is not a lipstick I would get if I would just look at it from the tube…but on you it looks good.

Lisa Avatar

I agree with you about Lustres and this particular lipstick. I bought this when it was originally released and I would definitely wear it more often if it wasn’t so drying. I’ve since learned that neither Lustres nor Cremesheens work with my lips. It’s a shame too because there are plenty of MAC shades I would love to try.

Christine, great job as always! Your reviews are always so helpful to me.

Is this version of Oh, Oh, Oh any different from the MAC Me Over version? I compared your swatches, and the MMO one looks a tiny bit more pink/berry-hued, almost. Is it just the lighting differences, or are the two versions different?

I already have the original version and love it. Thanks!

I got this the last time it was released and only because of the swatches you provided, Christine, because in the tube, it honestly looks like a piece of dog poop. Applied it is lovely but it has so little staying power. I’m okay with lustres (in terms of them not drying my lips) but this one is more like the loathsome MAC Glaze finish in terms of disappearing quickly.

This looks great on you-I bought this and ended up giving it away-it was just too sheer-but it doesn’t look sheer in the photos-I’m surprised!

Jenny Avatar

I got this the last time it came out and I love this color so much. Probably because I love sheer lipsticks. It’s one of my favorite colors. I’m glad to see it came out again because I’ve been very skimpy with using it, afraid I won’t ever get a chance to buy it again even though I know MAC has re-released other limited edition colors in the past.

Hi Christine! Would you happen to know if Benefit Breakup Rumor Lipstick is still available or discontinued? I’d love that one instead but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. I’ve been looking for something similar to MAC’s Barons Rose that I missed out on. Maybe I could just fill in my lips with a liner & top it off with Oh, oh, oh to try to get the same effect…

Benefit Breakup Rumout is still available at allcosmeticswholesale.com I have ordered from them DOZENS of times and have only received the real deal. I am in NO way affiliated with them, just thought that might help 😉

Jut thought I’d take note of an oddity- on Macy’s site instead of “Oh,Oh,Oh” the lipstick is listed as ” Sweet Something” Things that make you go Hmmmm.

VickyM Avatar

I love this lipstick! Unique and pretty, can´t wait for it to arrive in my country, we have the Apres Chic collection here right now lol, will have to wait… 😀

nawal Avatar

surprisingly, this was my fav out of all the collection! It was the first luster I ever bought and the color looks fantastic layered under a peach gloss!

kellie Avatar

it is almost exactly the same as “O”
I was surprised that wasnt noted anywhere. it is slightly less brown, and less pigmented, but really the same in a glossier version.

Leticia Avatar

I loved this shade when it was first released with MAC Me Over because of its originality and how different it looks when applied. That time I got one for my sister, in an effort to replace her Funbathing LS that she loved so much but lost when her bag was stolen :(…She liked Oh, Oh, Oh as well so maybe this time around I will get one for me!

Dian Avatar

Hi dear, I wonder if this lipstick is similar to Viva Glam VI? I want to buy this badly but I’m afraid the shade is too similar. Thanks!
