MAC is giving us more of what we love best — more lipstick, of course. Not only that, they are giving us NEW shades, nine to be exact, of the crazy popular Liptensity formula to round out the collection. To sweeten the deal, MAC has even launched a brand spanking new lip pencil in a new Liptensity Lip Pencil formula in 18 shades and it is PERMANENT. If you are a color lover, you need to take a look at these shades stat.

Liptensity Lipstick is a super pigmented lipstick that is PACKED with color, vibrancy and clarity. The lipstick glides on to offer true, full-on color in one swipe. The finish is satin and really beautiful on the lips.

It seems like to find a truly pigmented, one-swipe color these days, we need to turn to a matte formula. I am so happy with the Liptensity formula because it is a satin formula, with a very comfortable feel and long wear. The range of shades has something for everyone with colors in nude, red, coral, berry, purple and pink shades.

My favorite shade is Ginger Rose, which is a soft, mid-tone blue pink.

The Liptensity Lip Pencil is a very skinny lip pencil with a chiseled tip. The pencils are equally as bold and you can expect a great amount of color payoff as soon as you apply it.

I have found that the pencils are quite soft and I've experienced a bit of breakage, so I advise using a light amount of pressure when applying. Again, the pencils are very skinny and are extremely pigmented so you do not need a lot of pressure when applying them to the lips.

Both Liptensity Lipstick and Lip Pencil are available at maccosmetics.com, Nordstrom and Macy's now. They each sell for $21.
