Well it’s really difficult to define true love but I can define how is the true love kiss….lol…I hope you know I am talking about reviewing a lipstick from MAC ! Yes I am here again with another lipstick from my collection, and it is from “Mac’s Maleficent” collection. People who know me also know about my love for “lipsticks” and when it comes about limited edition lipsticks I get really obsessed and quickly grab atleast one from the limited edition, I know it sounds crazy!
This time I had no option as this collection had only one red amplified finish lipstick and hence I brought this shade 🙂
Price: Rs.1350/-
Quantity: 3gm/0.1 oz.
Ingredients: Refer to the picture below please.
Few words about Mac Maleficent collection:
Disney’s upcoming movie “Maleficent” and MAC’s latest collaboration brings the collection named “Mac Maleficent collection” comprises of 14 products in which most of them re-promotes from the MAC permanent line in which MAC Maleficent True Love’s Kiss Lipstick is also a part of it but it is an limited edition and was never promoted before.
In Mac words about this collection:
Disney’s most iconic villain, brought to life in this summer’s epic new film, inspires a limited-edition colour collection in specially designed packaging to delight the most demanding of dark sorceresses. Intensely admired for her evil elegance, despite her efforts to instill fear in the hearts of generations, this icon casts a spell of absolute adoration with sensuous shades so wickedly gorgeous, who needs beauty sleep?
My Experience With Mac’s True Love’s Kiss
On 30th May, 2014 with the release of Disney‘s movie Maleficent, Mac launched Disney’s “Maleficent” makeup line inspired by the diva Angelina Jolie. In this collection as I told earlier, there is only one lipstick which is named “true love’s kiss”….a true red lipstick. Mac calls this lipstick as “clean bright red”. Stays on for 5-6 hours on my lips and then starts fading a bit. It doesn’t transfer insanely but after a meal one needs to reapply it.
Packaging: The lipstick comes in a glossy black bullet with the name “maleficent” printed in silver on it. The packaging may seem little boring to many people as it comes in the usual black case nothing special about the packaging. However, Mac always comes up with some great packaging (like “Archie’s collection).
Texture: With the usual vanilla scent, the lipstick is in amplified finish which I found more moisturizing than any other amplified lipstick I used from the permanent line of Mac! With a texture like this, the lipstick can be a bang on red shade for dry lips people!!! The lipstick also moisturizes my lips pretty well for hours. No bleeding or feathering of the lipstick is experienced!
Pigmentation: The color pays off really great, as you all can see the swatches are great the pigmentation is! I really love how beautifully it sets on my lips. One swipe is enough to get the shade on lips but I love to layer my lipsticks on lips with few extra strokes. 😛
Shade: The red shade is described by Mac as a bright clear red which is a very versatile color that can suit any skin tone.

Hi! i was looking for this shade of Maleficent but i found it very costly in snapdeal and Amazon.com. Can you please tell me from where did you get this lipstick at such a reasonable price so that i can also buy it.
