When it comes to lipsticks, MAC Mehr is one of the classics, well at least to me. It’s one of my no-brainer, everyday lipsticks, which goes well with almost all of my makeup and clothes. Whenever I go out on errands, I usually have no makeup on save for the lipstick, and this is what I reach for the most. This is just my second tube but I think I’ll be buying a third one soon (don’t want to run out of it).
What M•A•C says about their lipsticks:
Colour plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made M•A•C famous.
The finish is matte, but although it’s not moisturizing especially on my always dry lips, it doesn’t dry out my lips either. I also like that it glides on easily without tugging on my lips. I would love for it to be moisturizing, but what do I expect from a matte lipstick? At least it doesn’t dry out my lips, and I’m already happy with that. 😉
The color on the tube is a little dark, but when swatched, it is a medium rosy pink. On my lips, it’s darker than MAC Cosmo, and Cosmo has a sheen to it as opposed to Mehr being matte.
I bought it last year from their Glorietta 4 branch for Php1, 000. I want to buy another one so I can have a backup but they’re always out of stock. So if you want to buy this shade as well, you might want to call the M•A•C stores near you first, to check if they have it in stock before dropping by.

MAC Mattes are awesome. A friend bought the red matte balm similar to MAC Russian Red (Is that Revlon Standout?) in the hopes na makatipid. The Revlon didn’t last on her daw, she needed to reapply palagi and she ended up buying MAC Russian Red na lang din.
Yeah, they are! I also love the vanilla scent of MAC lippies. I’m planning to get Please Me but I’m not sure if it will be too drying for my lips. Have you tried it?
I have Revlon Matte balm in Striking – it looks beautiful and the concept is really nice, but I just can’t stand the minty-fresh smell and taste, and it doesn’t really apply well. NARS Annabella is currently my fave red lipstick. 🙂
Yes super disappointing. The reason why I buy matte is because they last really long and are generally less fussy.
What’s your foundation shade pala? I’m NARS Stromboli (exact match).
I’m NC15-20 most of the time, but NC25 during summer and a few months after when I’m still tanned. 🙂
