MAC Wild Cherry Lipsticks Reviews & Swatches
Potent Petal
MAC Potent Petal Love Me Lipstick ($23.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a vivid, orange-red with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation that adhered evenly to my lips and was fairly forgiving of lip texture. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and comfortable to wear without being too slippery. It stayed on nicely for four and a half hours and felt lightly moisturizing 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.

Sakura SZN
MAC Sakura SZN Love Me Lipstick ($23.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a light, pinky-peach with moderate, warm undertones and a soft sheen. It had medium color payoff that was somewhat buildable, though not as buildable as most shades in the range.
Whether due to the lightness of the shade or the slightly added slip, it did not apply as evenly nor as flatteringly as other shades as it had a tendency to settle into my lip lines and cling to lip texture. It lasted for three hours and felt lightly moisturizing while worn.

Cheery Cherry looks so fresh and beautiful for this time of year going forward thru summer! I would actually order it if I thought that it would arrive before next Friday, because otherwise, it would wind up melting into nothingness sitting in either the mailbox or outside my door.
I like Potent Petal – there’s nothing like a rich red lipstick to brighten up a face or an outfit…..
Cheery Cherry is just a pretty color. Sadly, as drawn to these fuschia lipsticks they all turn purple and I mean purple on me within minutes. I’ll admire from afar. Jealous of those who can rock this,
Your experience with Sakura Szn is consistent with mine. It’s a pretty color on me and I mainly was a sucker for the packaging 😜
I actually have dupes for all three! It was a surprise that I have one for Sakura SZN as generally it’s not a colour I’d look at for me, but I do have MAC Patisserie.
That I have dupes for the other two isn’t a surprise at all, but I’m still going to buy Cheery Cherry as I think Cherries in the Snow isn’t that close a dupe.
I love this kind of shade for me, anytime of the year.
