MAC Bonsai Bloom Huggable Lipcolour

Now available online (originally slated for a June 2nd launch; in-store date is June 9th on my press release!), there are new, limited edition shades (along with some repromotes) of MAC Huggable Lipcolour ($20.00 for 0.11 oz.), which is described as a hydrating, “gel-like lipstick with rich, glossy shine” that wears for “six hours.” The formula tends to be semi-sheer to semi-opaque with moderate shine, lightly clingy (not in an uncomfortable way, but it wears longer than more slippery formulas) with decent wear (four to five hours) and light to moderate hydration. It is the type of formula that feels denser in the tube and softens as it “melts” against the warmth of the lips. I’ve also noticed that some shades self-level after a minute or so after being applied. I think they’re best suited for someone who likes sheerer lipsticks that are comfortable but not slippery and wants some hydration.

MAC Bonsai Bloom Huggable Lipcolour ($20.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “cool nude-pink.” It’s a muted, medium rosy pink with subtle, cooler undertones and a fine, gold pearl and light shine. It had medium coverage, and as it is a color naturally more similar to my lip color, it may look wildly different from to person as the natural lip color comes through a lot. The texture was thin, lightweight, and sat fairly well on the lips. The color went on evenly and lasted for four hours. I found it lightly hydrating overall. Tom Ford Beauty Alicia (LE, $36.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). Clinique Pink Honey (PiP, $15.00) is warmer (95% similar). NARS Orgasm (P, $28.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). Chanel Conte (202) (P, $37.00) is more shimmery, more pigmented, warmer (90% similar). Guerlain Kiss Blossom (LE, $37.00) is more pigmented, cooler (90% similar). Pat McGrath Love Supreme (P, $40.00) is less shimmery, darker, cooler (85% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Bryan (LE, $36.00) is more shimmery, darker, more pigmented (85% similar).

MAC Cantonese Carnation Huggable Lipcolour ($20.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “warm rose.” It’s a medium-dark rosy pink with subtle, cooler undertones and a fine, gold pearl. It had semi-opaque coverage that went on evenly and allowed the natural lip color to still come through. The consistency was lightweight but had enough suspension in it that the glossier texture didn’t sit in lip lines noticeably. This shade lasted for four and a half hours on me and was lightly hydrating. MAC Love Beam (LE, $20.00) is lighter, cooler (90% similar). Bobbi Brown Raspberry Shimmer (1) (P, $28.00) is more shimmery, lighter, brighter (85% similar). Chanel Etourdie (98) (P, $37.00) is warmer (85% similar). MAC I'm Game (LE, $20.00) is lighter, brighter (85% similar). Chanel Eblouissante (165) (P, $45.00) is warmer (85% similar). Guerlain Madame Reve (862) (DC, $58.00) is cooler (85% similar).

MAC Good Luck Mochi Huggable Lipcolour ($20.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “rosy mid-tone pink.” It’s a medium-dark, slightly brighter, pink with subtle, warm undertones and a creamy finish. This shade didn’t have pearl like a lot of the other Huggables. It had more coverage–closer to truly semi-opaque–but color pulled into lip lines a bit, and it did not seem to go on as evenly. This shade lasted for four hours on me and was lightly hydrating. MAC Little Buddha (P, $19.00) is lighter, brighter, more pigmented (90% similar). Bobbi Brown Spring Pink (P, $37.00) is brighter, more pigmented (90% similar). Laura Mercier Raspberry Ripple (P, $25.00) is more muted, cooler (90% similar). MAC Brave (P, $19.00) is less glossy (90% similar). Givenchy Rose Boudoir (204) (P, $36.00) is brighter, warmer (80% similar). Chanel Edith (424) (P, $37.00) is lighter, warmer (80% similar).

MAC Origami Orange Huggable Lipcolour ($20.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “creamy orange.” It’s a slightly muted, medium rosy coral with fine, light pink pearl. It’s a lot more interesting than “creamy orange” would indicate! The texture was lightweight, balmy but not too slippery, and glided on easily while laying down smooth, even, and mostly opaque coverage. This shade lasted for five and a half hours and was moderately hydrating. Tom Ford Beauty Les Mepris (LE, $52.00) is warmer, less glossy (90% similar). YSL Orange Crepe (82) (P, $38.00) is less shimmery, darker, cooler (90% similar). Gucci Beauty Three Wise Girls (401) (P, $42.00) is less shimmery, darker, cooler (90% similar).

MAC Seoul-ful Huggable Lipcolour ($20.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “light, creamy pink.” It’s a medium rosy pink with warm undertones and fine pearl. It had mostly opaque coverage, though bits of the natural lip color will peek through, with a milkier consistency than the other shades. This one applied mostly evenly, but there was a little color that settled into lip lines. This shade wore well for four and a half hours and was hydrating. MAC Sunny Seoul (P, $19.00) is darker (90% similar). MAC Little Buddha (P, $19.00) is darker, cooler, less glossy (90% similar).
