I must confess that this is my first classic M.A.C lipstick from their regular line. I have a lot of sheen supreme shades but I never bought any of these regular ones. I know this is a bold shade, almost a bluish purple, the most unique shade of lipstick I own till date. It really took me by surprise by coming out to be a very wearable shade. never in my life I could think of wearing it confidently outside but trust me, this is too gorgeous for words,it literally lights up the face.
As far as purple lipsticks go, this lip colour is a little legend. Everyone should have this rich shade in their collection. Now for the pros: it's not as drying as some matte Mac shades like Ruby Woo. The colour is enduring and doesn't transfer too much. And for the cons: I feel there are a few brands like LA Girl Matte Velvets that have the same staying power and pigment for much less , Mac is R250 vs LA Girl R59.90...I would get it as a splurge because it's a classic shade that will go out of style.
I personally love this lipstick, it became one of my favs. I love the shades they offering and all suit me, YAaaay. The application process is so easy it glides on my lips, lasts long, which is important, and does not dry out my lips after application.
This is the newest edition to my MAC lipstick collection and I adore this shade. It is just such a wearable colour for all skin tones and all hours of the day and night. I would describe it as a vampy, but muted and opaque purple with a grey undertone.
It applies very smoothly and the pigment is on point. It wears comfortably and also lasts very well on the lips - which is to be expected of the MAC matte formula.
I just love me some Heroine whenever I feel like doing a statement look. Sadly, these retail for R240 as of 12/09/16, but they are still worth the spend girl!
The matte formula is long lasting and non-drying. This is perfect for those days when I don't have time to be re-applying my lipstick throughout the day.
I have not met a single person who doesn’t look good when they have this lipstick shade on. It seems to look great on most skin tones.
It’s a bit on the pricey end for me, but it lasts long since there’s not need to apply layers and layers of it.
This lippie has helped to complete a number of looks for so the name Heroine seems perfectly fitting to me.
This is my drug and I love it . If its day time or night time this lipstick goes on me , it takes me to my happy place . It's a fun colour that really goes with everything .
I have been yearning for this lipstick for the longest time, and I got given it for my birthday back in July.
It's such an unusual colour and it looks so gorgeous on. You can dab it on for a more sheer coverage or a bitten look, or you can build it up for a really powerful colour!
The staying power is really good too.

Oh this is my absolute favourite Mac lip colour!
It's more of a matt colour than moisturising so you have to take care of your lips before and after by exfoliating and moisturising etc.
The colour is so vibrant and just does my caramel skin wonders, winter and summer!
The smell is amazing compared to other lipsticks.
I wish it was a tad bit less expensive as it is R205 for one lip colour but that certainly does not stop me. I take care of my products so they last quite sometime.
My mother likes the lighter sweeter light pink colours, I might just jump onto that boat.
I love MAC lipsticks, the color range but it just doesn't work for me.
After 2 days of using I usually develop bubbles on my lips and then they dry and peel off! I don't understand why it happens every time I use them?
Yesterday it was my birthday and a wonderful friend of mine got me this lipstick from MAC as she knows I am very obsessed with all things beauty! I screamed and was just overly excited and dancing at the same time
I love it so much and the it smells amazing. Stays longer and keep my lips moist and vavavoom!
