MAC Huggable Lip Colours ($20 each for 3.2g/0.11 oz, limited-edition) are a new lipstick formula that were released several weeks ago. I would have missed out had it not been for Café Makeup who pointed them out to me and recommended I check them out. As she noted, the colors have been selling out quickly. I had to visit two different stores to track down shades. After surveying the swatches on Café Makeup, Temptalia and Weekend Ramblings, I picked out four: Touché, Fresh & Frisky, Out for Passion and Rich Marrón.
These new Huggable Lip Colours have a similar feel to Dior Addict Lipsticks (like Diablotine reviewed here). They have a creamy moisturizing feel. They are very emollient but with a thicker texture so they really adhere to and hug the lips. What surprised me is the level of pigment. The colors have a rich payoff with a soft shine finish. Lasting power is also quite impressive. You can control the coverage by swiping back and forth a few times for more color. If you have time to go to the counter to test, I highly recommend you visit soon.
The four colors I picked (with links to where the colors are located right now online):
- Touché a light nude (at Nordstrom, Macy’s, Bloomingdales and Maccosmetics.com)
- Fresh & Frisky a fresh peach (still at Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Maccosmetics.com)
- Out for Passion a lovely watermelon pink (at Bloomingdales, Maccosmetics.com)
- Rich Marrón nude-brown (at Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Maccosmetics.com)
Touché is a good nude without being too nude:
Fresh & Frisky is a fresh natural peach that brightens the face:
Out for Passion is the best watermelon pink I’ve ever tried:
Rich Marrón is a nice classic, a bit brown but still nice for everyday:
Overall really pleased with these colors and formulas. I didn’t have time to pull comparisons but these colors work well without any tweaking needed. My husband loves Out for Passion on me so I bought one more as a back-up. Right now the colors are limited-edition. I do hope that MAC considers making these permanent. There are 12 colors in the US, but various stores have certain shades sold out. You may have to do a bit of searching but stores probably still have stock of most colors. For the ones I reviewed:
- Touché a light nude (at Nordstrom, Macy’s, Bloomingdales and Maccosmetics.com)
- Fresh & Frisky a fresh peach (still at Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Maccosmetics.com)
- Out for Passion a lovely watermelon pink (at Bloomingdales, Maccosmetics.com)
- Rich Marrón nude-brown (at Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Maccosmetics.com)
Did you pick up any of the MAC Huggable Lip Colours? What were your favorites?
These colours are gorgeous!!
I like the Rich Marron one best I think 🙂 Can't wait for it to be available in Australia!

Hey Sabrina, I was going to say Out of Passion is my favorite on you. Apparently great minds think alike 😉 Haven't checked these out yet but I do plan to soon!
Very pretty colours…its funny how someone lips can look a different shape depending on what colour they are wearing. x

I think Fresh & Frisky looks great on you too! I have to say the packaging and swatches remind me of Revlon Lip Butters, but I'm happy to see these have no shimmer.
Out for Passion does look the prettiest 😀 😀
And thank you for the link, Sabrina! 🙂
I picked up Love Beam which is a slightly warm medium pink yesterday. I'm now kicking myself that I didn't grab Fresh & Frisky while I had the chance. Dare I say I like this formula better than the Revlon Lip Butters? (ducks for cover)
I agree with your husband–Out for Passion is beautiful on you. It looks like spring 🙂
Amazing colours and the formula sounds really good!
These are gorgeous. If they're like Dior Addict, I'm in! Plus, at $20 each, it's much less pricey.
That Out For Passion looks absolutely stunning, though these are probably too shiny for my liking!

They looks so thick and creamy for lipsticks!
Will have to check these out.
Thanks for the post!

these r so gorgeous….i liked the way these apply and look…amazing
They all look lovely on you! I'm pleasantly surprised at how pigmented they are and definitely plan on giving them a try 🙂
Wow those look amazing. I'm a huge fan of the Dior lip products but these may be a more budget-friendly version.

out for passion is totally the shade I would choose for myself 🙂
I liked the Rich Marron. Too Faced Sweet Maple looks similar on my lips. =o)
I knew I should have gotten Cherry Crazed.
Rich Marron is kind of perfect on you. The photos look amazing, I'm always striving to capture such a crisp white background
they have been released in australia!
These are gorgeous and I've been dying to try them! I will probably try Fresh & Frisky first, it's so, so pretty!
They look lovely. Out for Passion is my favourite, think I will have to buy it soon.
