Mac Heavy Petting lipstick review and swatches

It's been a long time since I've bought a MAC lipstick- I've just been unexcited by new releases and have been too preoccupied with swooning and obsessing over lipsticks from other brands. But the LE Dark Desires collection caught my eye, and chiefly for the wine coloured lipstick called 'heavy petting'. The colour itself wasn't so unique, but the cremesheen formula sold it for me (I know it divides opinion but it's my favourite mac finish). Oh and the name was pretty appealing hehe.

So there she is. A rich, berry-leaning shade with good colour payoff and a sumptuous sheen to the finish. A very season appropriate shade. The swatch is of the lipstick alone, though I would recommend lipliner with it because it does tend to bleed. 

Wear time is average, and it fades to a cute bitten stain. Some people find the cremesheen formula drying but it's really comfortable on me... so I guess it comes down to your own experiences of it. 

Anyway I'm glad I got. I can see myself wearing this shade a whole lot.
