My Mac lipstick collection

My Mac lipstick collection is quite extensive-currently standing at 31 (it was 31 when I first started this post now its) 35 in total and that doesn't include the vast amounts of Mac glosses I own!  Thought I would do a quick post and swatches of my collection!

My favourite formula is definitely Cremesheen and my favourite shade is Crosswires.  My least favourite formula is Lustre (even though I own a lot of Lustre formulas!)  Syrup for example is undetectable on my lips-just looks like I have smeared them with vasaline.  Having said that, Naked Paris is one of my all time very favourite Mac lipsticks and that's a Lustre.  If you're a newcomer to Mac or are confused about the various formulas, Adrienne at The Sunday Girl did the best post EVER on Mac formulas-click the link to read her brilliant blog post about Mac lipsticks.

This has been a good exercise as it has reminded me of shades I haven't worn for a long time and love-I'll definitely be dusting them off.

What's missing from my collection-what shades do you love that I don't own? (yet!)
