MAC Lipstick 'Flamboyish' [Nutcracker Sweet Holiday 2016]
This is the standard lipstick packaging from MAC. It's in a small short round bullet with a round tip cap. The whole packaging is the holiday edition 'MAC Nutcracker Sweet' neon hot pink top and deep purple bottom. There is a gold rimmed bottom on the cap with matching 'MAC' text. Inside reveals shiny, reflective gold mechanisms.
The lipstick bullet twists up with ease and I have never experienced any problems. It comes in a box with a candy can stripped matching coloured box.

Smell/Taste:
Vanilla.
Colour:
Flamboyish - bright medium pink with cool undertones. Full pigmentation with a semi matte finish.
Formula/ Texture:
This is a thin, smooth and creamy consistency. It glides so effortlessly on the lips with no tugging or skipping at all, which is surprising for a matte finish from MAC. They must have updated their formula as it's more creamy feeling, especially on the lips. It feels lightweight and comfortable on the lips otherwise. It is easily removed with a basic makeup wipe with a bit of colour left behind.
I didn't experience any settling, bleeding or feathering but I did use a clear/transparent lip liner. A liner coloured closer to this shade will help this look perfect for longer. This did transfer a bit onto food and drink. Overall it lasted 6-8 hours on my lips.
The formula contains Vitamin E to protect the lips and extend wear of the lipstick. I feel as though this is a re formulated matte formula as it's so creamy. It does cling onto dry lips a little bit so exfoliated and hydrated lips will make this look better.
This shade is very nice and perfect for cooler months on my olive skin tone. The LE packaging is a unique combination and very girly twist on the traditional Christmas theme.
