Pros
The matte finish was really nice, and the color has a lovely autumnal feel to it.
Cons
The design on the exterior tends to peel off, and it could be a bit more moisturizing.
Tip
I would recommend this for the fall season.

Pros
The base color of the lipstick stays true to the original, so it's really easy to distinguish the colors! Texture -It's so moisturizing and smooth, you could even use it instead of a lip balm. Color -I'd recommend testing it out before purchasing, but if you like nude tones, you can just go ahead and get it! However, the color becomes a bit ambiguous the more you apply. Emphasizes Flaky Skin -The more you apply, the more it starts to emphasize flaky skin a little bit. Longevity -Despite being a moisturizing lipstick, it lasts a long time!
Cons
The only downside is that it emphasizes flaky skin the more you apply, but it's not too severe.
Tip
If you want a deeper color, you can apply this as a base coat and then layer your desired color on top. If you want to use it as a base coat, just apply it all over for a nice gradient or full coverage look!

Pros
It's chewy. The lip is comfortable. The moisture and pigmentation are amazing.
Cons
None. Just make sure to consider your personal color. The color is dull.

Pros
I received the product as a gift, but I couldn't use it because it was too red. This product saved all those unusable items!!
Cons
It can only be used as a base. If applied alone, it makes your natural lip color look even paler.
Tip
Apply it as a base, then dab the red lipstick in the center. Blot with a tissue for the finishing touch.

Pros
I used to use other lip products, but then I developed a lip allergy and was suffering for about a week. In the end, I opened my wallet and bought this one. Surprisingly, it doesn't feel heavy on my lips at all, and it has a slightly velvety feel rather than a matte finish.
Cons
The color is pretty and the coverage is great, but the longevity... It's kind of an extreme job for my lip products to survive, but this was the worst one I've tried. Still, if you reapply it every two hours or so, it's golden!!
Tip
When used with a lip balm, it just disappears completely. You have to use this one and only! But the color is really pretty, and it doesn't dry out my lips, so I've been using it constantly!

Pros
There is absolutely no visible peeling. At the same time, it has great longevity and adhesion. It looks great when applied in muted colors in the fall or winter. The light colors are surprisingly sexy... The shade suits warm-toned individuals well. This is a must-have for me.. MAC has multiple lip lines, but the Lip Intensity line is really good. With the Bullet Lipstick line, you have to open them to see the color, but this one has the full lip color visible on the cap, so you can see it at a glance.
Cons
I didn't have any downsides, but if I had to pick one, it would be that the colors may not suit spring and summer. It could be a bit much for the Korean-style heavy lip makeup.
Tip
In fall and winter, this is all you need, but in spring and summer, you can use it as a base and add a different, more intense tint in the center. The photo came out more reddish than the actual color due to the lighting.

Pros
For someone like me with a fair complexion, this is a perfect match. The application feel is absolutely wonderful. First of all, the spreadability is the best, and it leaves a semi-matte finish while feeling moisturized.
Cons
The longevity is not exceptionally good. And the toy-like appearance?

Pros
I really love the texture of the Liptensity, so I bought Havana after it! It's not matte, but it's not too dewy either - it has a nice, bouncy texture. The longevity is good, and you can mix the different Liptensity shades without compromising the texture, which is great. When I apply it, my lips feel comfortable and I just want to keep smacking my lips together! Haha I also really like the packaging, and the new Brick Dust shade has been catching my eye too.
Cons
I was worried about it emphasizing flaky skin, but it's not too bad. Compared to Peripera, it's actually pretty good. And some of my other department store lipsticks also emphasize flakiness depending on the shade, so I wouldn't consider it a dealbreaker.
Tip
It was described as a bright rose brown, but it has a bit of a whitish cast to the brown color. I was diagnosed as a 23 Autumn Mute, and while this lipstick alone doesn't make me look washed out, it feels like it needs a bit more depth of color. So I like to apply the Liptensity Havana in the center and smack my lips together - it looks so pretty! It's a holy grail for me. If you find the Smoked Almond a bit lacking, I'd recommend trying this combo. You could also mix it with a non-matte burgundy lipstick like Revlon 525 - it looks really nice when layered. It's great on its own, but I think it looks even better when mixed with other shades.

Pros
Applies smoothly, has good color payoff, and the color is beautiful.
Cons
Accentuates flaky skin, the case design is poor. Causes lips to swell when worn for an extended period.

Pros
The bullet lipstick is too thick, which I don't like, but the Lip Intensity is much more moisturizing and has a nice, medium-weight texture that I really enjoy! The color also doesn't bleed, which is great :)
Cons
It has a slightly heavy feel, and since it's quite moisturizing, it does leave a lot of lip prints.
