MAC Mineralize Rich Lipstick in Lady At Play:

A 77-Mineral Moist Complex that instantly nourishes lips with maximum moisture in a lightweight, non-sticky formula. Larger bullet applies bright, long lasting colour in a single stroke. Medium shine finish, buildable coverage. Magnetic closure.Available in US in 12 shades.

The packaging has been worked out a little bit differently from the regular lipstick line, it’s similar in size but little chubbier. The cap is matte while the base and body are glossy black, attracting fingerprints.when you bring the cap close to the base, it snaps shut automatically. This ensures it wont come open on its own in your bag. The bullet comes in the regular MAC black cardboard casing.The product is part of the “Back-2-MAC” program.

Its coral, hint of red, hint of pink.Its happy easy colour not neonish. Should suit the Indian skin tone nicely, without looking garish.The texture is lightly creamy – with light glossiness. It glides on softly – no tug or pull on the lips. The formula is lightweight and easy to wear. The claim about being lightweight and non-sticky is bang-on. However, the claim about being nourishing with maximum moisturization is a bit of a stretch. Yes, it did not dry out your lips or leave them parched. However, hydration is more of comfortable wear while on rather than providing long-term moisturization.

Pigmentation is fairly decent – about 60% colour deposit in a single swipe and easy to build up to the colour in the tube. The colour is opaque and hides lip pigmentation.Again the claim regarding it being long lasting is a stretch. The product lasted about 4-4.5hours and disappeared along with the lunch. It does leave a stain – a soft light pink one.
