For this week, the highlight of my posts will be about lip products. I was busy for the past days testing and swatching lovely colors and I am excited to share my experience about these brands. I started with my OCC Lip Tar review last week, and now I am giving you another one.
So why don’t we beat the Monday blues with some vibrant number, shall we? 😉
MAC Lady Danger
Described as “vivid bright red coral” with a matte finish. Some say that it is more of a red than orange but when I used it, it looked more of orange (or maybe red-orange) on me.

MAC Pro Longwear High Energy Lip Liner
Described by MAC as “bright, orange-red cream“, this lip liner (and as advised by temptalia) is the perfect pair for Lady Danger.
MAC Cherry Lip Pencil
A vivid bluish-red lip pencil that pairs perfectly with your red lipstick such as Ruby Woo. I have not tried using it together with red lipsticks in other undertones aside from blue undertone.
Both lip liners can be used as a lip base for your red lipsticks or you may choose to use it alone, leaving a matte finish on your lips. Just make sure that you prep your lips (exfoliate and moisturize) before using them in order to achieve a more flawless look. Another look that you may try will be using the lip liner and apply a gloss to finish the look. 😉 You are welcome.
SWATCHES
Here is the comparison of MAC Cherry Lip Pencil with other brands of lip liners.
Here is MAC Lady Danger as worn under a white light.

PROs:
- All the products are highly pigmented and easy to use.
- They are all long lasting that even after having a wonderful dinner and few drinks, my lipstick was intact. I was out for six hours and there was no need to retouch.
- The signature scent of MAC lipstick was never an issue, in fact, I like it. As for the lip pencils, they are odorless.
CONs:
- I honestly cannot think of any. 😀
OVERALL:
- Product – 5/5
- Ease of Use – 4.5/5
- You can always use a lip brush or directly use it on the lip. It’s just a matter of preference. 😀
- Price – 4/5
- MAC Lady Danger is priced at 30 SGD (16 USD)
- I got my MAC Pro Longwear High Energy and MAC Cherry Lip Liner from Sephora Singapore at 64 SGD (for both, but I cannot remember the exact amount of each) but in the US, Pro Longwear Lip Liner is priced at 20 USD while their regular lip pencils are 16 USD each.
- Will I purchase again?
- Sure! But these will be enough to last for maybe a year? Let’s see.

All of you look good in black, and all of you look extra good with red lipstick on.
