MAC x Sharon Osbourne Patentpolish Lip Pencils
The upcoming MAC x Osbournes Collection features four shades of Patentpolish Lip Pencils, which were a new (and limited edition) formula that released at the end of March of this year. Two of the shades are repromotes, so since I just tested them two months ago, I didn’t re-test them for wear, but the shades are the same in regards to texture/color/application. The Patentpolish Lip Pencil formula is supposed to have “the colour and shine of a gloss, the precision of a lip pencil.” They come housed in a jumbo-sized, twist-up lip pencil and contain slightly less product than a lipstick (0.10 oz.). The two new shades in this collection are actually better than many shades I tried when the formula initially launched, as both applied evenly and lasted a bit longer.
MAC French Kiss Patentpolish Lip Pencil ($21.50 for 0.08 oz.) is described as a “warm caramel.” It’s a warm-toned, medium brown with muted, orange tones. It had semi-sheer to semi-opaque color coverage, and the color actually applied quite evenly and smoothly. The shade only lasted two hours on me, though. Maybelline Charming Cocoa (125) (LE) is more opaque, lighter. MAC Show Me (P, $19.50) is darker, more opaque. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
MAC Innocent Patentpolish Lip Pencil ($21.50 for 0.08 oz.) is described as a “nude beige.” It’s a light, warm-toned beige with a creamy, lightly glossy finish. This applied very unevenly, but it did have semi-opaque pigmentation. It lasted an hour and a half. MAC Naked Bud (LE, $16.00) is warmer. Maybelline Nude Lust (920) (P, $7.49) is slightly warmer. MAC Softly Lit (LE, $20.00) is glossier, more shimmery. Buxom Nudist (P, $21.00) is a touch less warm-toned. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
MAC Patentpink Patentpolish Lip Pencil ($21.50 for 0.08 oz.) is described as a “washed-out lilac.” It’s a cool-toned, light pink with bluish-gray undertones and a light shine. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which applied somewhat evenly–more evenly than anticipated for this type of color–but could use improvement in that area. It wore well for just over two hours. MAC Rose Lily (LE, $16.00) is lighter, less glossy. MAC Long Love Love (P, $19.50) is glossier, lighter. MAC Divine Choice (P, $22.00) is darker, warmer, less glossy. MAC Saint Germain (LE, $15.00) is glossier, brighter. MAC Enchantee (LE, $18.00) is lighter. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
MAC Ruby Patentpolish Lip Pencil ($21.50 for 0.08 oz.) is described as a “mid-tone rose.” It’s a medium-dark, muted berry with cool undertones and a glossy shine. It had semi-sheer to semi-opaque poigmentatoin that applied evenly, smoothly, and didn’t settle into lip lines. This shade wore for three hours but didn’t really leave a stain. NARS Sixties Fan (P, $26.00) is brighter. NARS Quito (P, $26.00) is brighter. MAC Fashion Perk (P, $22.00) is more berry-hued. Milani Ravish Raspberry (06) (P, $5.49) is brighter, cooler-toned. Milani Berry Tempting (05) (P, $5.49) is cooler-toned. Marc Jacobs Beauty Studded Kiss (310) (P, $28.00) has shimmer. MAC Colour Saturation (LE, $20.00) is brighter, cooler-toned.

I’m not a huge fan of Patentpolishes, but I actually really like Innocent.
I wish they lasted longer!
Yuck. These are not very appealing.
The wear time is really disappointing!
I have to say, I don’t know that I’ll be getting anything from this collection. The lipsticks are in hard-to-pull-off shades, the quad looks like something anyone with neutral palettes has dupes of, and if I’m going to go for cream blush products this year, I think YSL’s kiss and blush beats Mac out. And then there’s the patentpolishes: it would have been great to see them revamped into something more special, but as it is, I think I’ll pass. Mac has been so hit and miss with its collections this year; the Maleficent collection was kind of boring, but the Alluring Aquatics and Pedro Luenco collections both look stunning. Maybe Mac should take a page out of the Nars playbook and concentrate on a few really big collections instead of several very small ones.
I guess when you put out 50, if 30 are good, it’s still quite profitable? I don’t know about MAC dropping down to the 4-6 NARS does, but they could definitely reduce somewhat!
These do look very pretty – particularly the three lighter shades. I hadn’t checked these out yet but I will do!
Let me know what you think when you’ve tried ’em!
Does this Patentpink feel/look exactly like the original one to you?
Yup!
Omg Ruby! Christine, do you think Ruby is comparable in color to the Viva Glam Rihanna lipglass? They look similar. I’ve been looking for something similar in color to the lipglass but in a sheer, non-sticky formula.
Viva Glam Rihanna Lipglass is brighter and redder, plus shimmery! 🙂 http://www.temptalia.com/mac-viva-glam-rihanna-lipstick-lipglass-reviews-photos-swatches
Shadewise ruby & French Kiss are pretty!
I love Ruby’s color!
I don’t have any of these….but I might have to get Patentpink!
Enjoy, Karen!
Innocent really is the perfect nude! Too bad it doesn’t øast longer!
These are SO quick to go away!
Eh. Pass on all of ’em.
I really wish these wore longer!
I actually have Innocent and I love it. I really like the formula since I am not a big lipstick fan. I’m really trying to get into lipstick more though.
I’m glad you like it, Sarah!
Love the packaging but cannot believe how bad the quality is!
Just a really short-wearing product!
Though not with a winning formulation, you managed to pull off wearing them quite well, Christine. 😀 Do you cheat to make them look as best as possible? (Curious) xo
Just apply them right out of the tube – nothing special!
Wow, I love Ruby! <3
That was my fave!
I think 3 of 4 of those are pretty. But what I’d really like to know is what eyeliner you are wearing on your lower lashline in the top pictures? Now that is pretty!! 🙂

I like French Kiss most, but still not enough to pick it up. Although I do appreciate the “appropriateness” of each subcollection–Kelly’s is more vibrant and young, Sharon’s is more forgiving and flattering.
I agree that it does have that vibe!
How do you find out the exact time any of the mac collections go online for purchase? I always miss out
Most people stalk!
Ruby is definitely the best here! The Patentpolishes in general leave me pretty cold, but this one does look pretty, I’ll give it that! 🙂
It is a nicer one!
Are these sticky like a lip gloss? Thank you for the review!
No, they aren’t sticky like Lipglass!
Wow, Ruby looks lovely on you!
I actually like that they don’t leave a stain, I have sensitive lips and the lip pencils I have tried before irritated my lips. Do these have a minty scent? I think it might be the mint that causes me trouble.
Thanks, Itty!
No minty scent, vanilla!
I like Ruby but I was expecting it to be more red then pink.
Better or worse that it is pinker?
Although I like Patentpolish formula but I dont like any of these shades…
I wish the formula worked better for me!
I wore French Kiss today for the first time. It doesn’t show up very well on my lips but I found a great use for it. I layered a bronzy gloss over it and it made the perfect base. My gloss was on 4 hours later and I had to remove it to eat lunch. Love it!!
Woohoo!!
