Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the MAC Petal Power Lipstick in the shade Craving.
I’m not going to lie, I mainly got this for the packaging, actually, I think that MAC should make every single lipstick in this packaging because it’s beyond gorgeous.
This part of the MAC Petal Power Collection they released for Spring but this shade is permanent and it was one I wanted for a while so I decided to get it in this special packaging.
You can get it from maccosmetics.com or in store, here is in the limited edition packaging for 20$ or here in the regular one for 19$.
COLOUR
On the website, the shade is described as Burst of Plum and it’s an Amplified finish.
PACKAGING
The packaging is the exact same as every MAC Lipstick but metallic rose.
The shade name is written on the bottom in the usual MAC style.
It comes in a really pretty sheer box with cherry blossom details which I really like.
The scent is the classic vanilla one, one of my favourite.
FORMULA
As the name would suggest it’s very creamy and smooth, it’s not patchy and it doesn’t settle into fine lines.
It’s very comfortable to wear and it’s not drying.
The shade is a bit too dark for me to be an everyday colour but it’s pretty nontheless.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
It lasted 5 hours on me without eating, but it fades very nicely.

GRADE: B+
I really like this lipstick, I like the effect and the formula, it feels beautiful on the lips. I absolutely love the packaging. The shade is not one I’d wear every day because it’s a bit too dark but it’s a nice one for Sping. I especially like it when it’s blotted on, it reminds me of the effect you get when you eat a cherry.

LOVE that swatch! Such a pretty color. Perfect for spring 🙂
Agree!
There really just is something magical about lip stick, isn’t there? <3 I love the colour! It’s so vampy but in somewhat also fresh – very unique xx
Totally! I love it ?
It is lovely packaging! I always love the scent of MAC lipsticks – mmm! What a pretty shade, too. I’ll definitely check this out when I can!
Hope you’ll love it x
I agree, it IS a perfect color for Spring. I think I’m going to pick this shade up.
It would be amazing on you x
Love the MAC Amplified finish, they’re so comfy to wear! That’s a beautiful color although I get what you’re saying about it being too dark to wear everyday. But you can certainly wear it lighter by blotting it a bit.
I love to blot it! Gives a super healthy look!
Ohni love the packaging of this lipstick! It’s a bit too dark for me personally but I do love the shade!
They have lighter shades but they are too warm for my tastes ?
Oh I need to check them out though ?
This is such a beautiful color and I agree that the package is absolutely beautiful. The MAC Amplified formula is one of my favorites so I need to check this out!!
I’m more of a Lustre or a Matte (love that I go from one extreme to the other) girl but this is so pretty
Mac makes such beautiful products! I love this lip shade and the packaging is so pretty.
Thank you ?
MAC did a good job of accurately defining this hue. I personally gravitate toward mauve pinks/nudes. I agree with what you said- this is a good Spring color, but otherwise too dark. Your photography is exceptional here (it’s always stunning though!).
