This is my very 1st post on Vanity No Apologies and needless to say I am equally nervous and excited so please be kind and bear with me. I will get better with time I promise! Since the time I started looting myself to buy MAC lipsticks I have been wanting to sue the people who name the lipsticks. Why? Oh well what can a poor girl do if lipsticks are named- Syrup, Girl About Town, Cosmo and so on? Well….. buy them for one. So I wanted to get Diva even before I had tried it on me!
Diva is described by MAC as Intense reddish burgundy in a matte finish. The color is one typical example of looking all dark and dreary in the bullet but once on lips, it unleashes the dark sensuous diva within you and just grabs all attention in its dark maroonish brown burgundy color. It is an extremely daring color to pull off but once you do nobody can stop you! The color reminds me strongly of only 1 thing and that is…err.. No wait I don't want to spoil your appetite just now!
Since it is a matte finish (that is full on pigmentation) Diva delivers just that! 1 swipe and whoosh – A deep dark rich color which covers any sort of lip pigmentation. However Diva is not a retro matte like our famous Ruby Woo and instead falls in the category of creamier mattes and hence is smoother and easier to apply. But beware! If you were sloppy as a kid in coloring and step out of your lip line well..god help you! Once it gets even a bit smeared the stain will just not go from your skin so do use a liner.
The lasting power as is with matte finishes is super awesome and lasts throughout the day with all meals and drinks and stains as a sexy remnant of the original color on your lips (I like the stain better!)
Diva like all other MAC lipsticks of the permanent range comes in a typical black and silver packaging with a tight click cap making it travel friendly.
The Good things about Mac Diva:
- Travel friendly packaging.
- Intensely pigmented, gives true color in just 1 swipe.
- Ravishing dark hot reddish burgundy color which can transform any look in a swipe.
- Awesome lasting power- lasts throughout the day.
- Does not dry out lips like other regular matte lipsticks.
- Leaves behind a rich stain.
- Yummy vanilla fragrance.
The Bad things about Mac Diva:
- Bad idea to wear without a lip liner. It stains skin horribly.
- A difficult shade to pull off !
Hope you liked my review and oh yes I know the question still bubbling in your minds- what does Diva really resemble?? Dried blood! I mean really! It gives it the sexy vampire twist. I even wanted mock fangs for my lip swatches!
Price: Rs.990

Do I recommend? If you are familiar with rich, deep dark shades then Diva is the absolutely correct choice to bring out the diva in you. A single swipe transforms your simple look into a glam avatar and once you gain the confidence to carry it off you are going to fall head over heels in love. I do believe however, that this shade will be more apt for medium to dusky Indian girls.
Editor: Mac Diva is rumored to be the lipstick Anne Hathaway wore as a catwoman in Dark Knight Rises. If you are looking at dupes than Inglot Round Lipstick Refill #86 comes quite close. And if you prefer rich deep shades in general than check my swatches of L'oreal Intense Ruby.

M.A.C Matte Lipsticks Review and Swatches
'Makeup Art Cosmetics', is what M.A.C stands for and what else does it stands for?
M.A.C stands for quality and textures together. If you are fond of makeup and always go for quality makeup then, you are must familiar with M.A.C. One of the world's leading cosmetic brands is a symbol of luxury.
The brand is famous for its diverse products with adorable shades of each one of the product. The matte lipsticks of the M.A.C give fine, creamy finish and are long-lasting.
I bought some of the M.A.C matte lipsticks and found them good. I am addicted to some of the brand's shades and present you my experience with the M.A.C matte lipsticks.
Packaging:
The product comes in a metallic black body with a sturdy black cap that is good enough to make it travel-friendly. When applying the lipstick, I did not face any pulling, it is smooth.
Matte Formula:
The matte finish is creamy and there is no shine in the shades, that make some of the shades a bit pasty.
Staying Formula:
As, for the staying time, it persists well for 4-5 hours.
My Favorite Shades:
PLEASE ME, is my choice from the M.A.C matte lipsticks. The long-lasting smooth pink shade gives a fresh look to lips. It goes for every skin tone, but, for dusky tone, there is a need to use a liner of the same color to avoid a whitish look. I loved it because I always go for light shades.
The other shades available are also opaque, rich and apply consistently. The nude shades from the M.A.C matte lipsticks are unique in a sense that they lack conventional undertones and give a real look. It felt a little heavy but, never felt patchy to me.
Quality:
The M.A.C is a brand for which there is no need to be worried about quality. It worth its price.
