While I am not a MAC fanatic I know a good product when I see one, and new MAC So Select [$17 for 0.1 oz, available here] lipstick was grab-worthy indeed. Housed in the brand's classic black bullet, this dusty rose matte feels like creamy heaven on the lips. MAC mattes are actually some of the most comfortable I've tried so far; they're like a pair of chic jeggings that look trendy but feel like PJs. Or like a pair of killer heels that feel like flats, if you like that comparison better.
'A lip color inspired by the best runway trends of the season, this new M∙A∙C Lipstick was our Artists' favorite backstage secret weapon for en vogue matte rose lips.'
As the description suggests, MAC So Select lipstick was inspired by runway trends, and I can definitely see that. Kylie Jenner popularized dusty mauves and matte finish, so now you can find a lipstick in similar color in every It Girl's makeup bag.
MAC So Select lipstick is a Limited Edition release and available for MAC Select members only [you can read more about it here]. MAC Select is a new program for MAC shoppers that provides additional benefits, just like any other reward program. In a nutshell, the more you shop – the better your perks. My favorite benefit is probably the expanded Back to MAC, so I have more options for empty containers to return. It does take me a while to empty them, but I usually end up using up enough products to get a free lipstick every year or so.
Despite being labeled as a matte, MAC So Select has a bit of a satiny sheen to it, which I don't mind at all. It is less drying than most other matte lipsticks out there, and the pigmentation is straight up amazing. This is easily one of my favorite MAC lipsticks to date, and I've been disappointed with their recent releases more often than not.
Mac Select Fancied Lipstick
I find So Select surprisingly easy to wear! I actually thought it would be one of those high fashion mattes that look great on runway models, popular Instagram gurus, and fashion bloggers, while the rest of us basic mortals will just swatch it and forget it. Since I am not going anywhere tonight I'm just rocking it at home, but it kind of makes me look put together. Maybe a quick run for groceries later? 😉

Mac Select Lipstick - Fancied
Once in a while MAC Cosmetics comes out with an item limited for MAC Select Members (only means that you've ticked a box while making an account on the MAC USA website). Other MAC Select products I've tried before are the MAC So Select lipstick (Dutch review here) and a Retro Matte liquid lipstick that I've sold and never reviewed because the shade wasn't for me.
The most recent MAC Select product was the satin lipstick in Fancied. It is described as a neutral pinky-rose but to me it is also a little bit peachy.

The lipstick has the same amazing formula as always: creamy, pigmented and with great coverage. The shade is more peachy nude on me than pinky-rose, but I still love the shade on me. It does look really different on me than on the swatch, but that's okay. It still works :).
Since I've hoarding MAC lipsticks that last couple of years, I thought it was about time to check my collection out and to compare the shades. You will see that I really got a type when it comes to lipsticks.
I has my MAC lipsticks displayed on my vanity with see through caps so I can easily see the shade that I'm looking for. Such a practical invention! These plastic caps are from byAlegory (available at Amazon).
These are all my MAC lipsticks swatched next to each other. I do really have a type in lipstick shades, haha.

The MAC lipstick formula in every finish has always been my favorite lipstick formula. Charlotte Tilbury might be replacing that number one position, but MAC has a certain nostalgia feel to it. In my early make-up hoarder days I was all about saving up for MAC make-up and my first expensive make-up buys were from MAC. Let's just say MAC lipsticks have a speciale place in my heart :).
