MAC Isabel & Ruben Toledo Lipstick Review & Swatches
Barbeque, Opera, Oxblood, Sin, Tenor Voice, and Victoriana are six, limited edition MAC Isabel & Ruben Toledo Lipstick shades that launched with the MAC Toledo Collection for Spring 2015.
If you a fond fan of red you’re going to adore some of these MAC Lipsticks!
The MAC Isabel & Ruben Toledo Lipstick are a must for matte lipstick fans and those who like dramatic shades in particular reds! These come housed in a white barrel with a quirky design and red accents display the “Toledo” signature on the top.
This is long wearing shades of matte color that are very, very pigmented. I can get a solid six hours out of most of shades without featuring or migration issues. They are intense, bold, dramatic, creamy, and matte in finish.

I did have issues with the shade Sin which is a repromoted color from the MAC Rocky Horror Picture Show Collection. It’s a color that I find applies unevenly on me, drags a good deal, and migrates around my lip line. It also feels very dry to me! So out of the six shades I’d give Sin a thumbs down and the other five a big yay!
Although matte these have a nice creamy consistency that isn’t hydrating but not drying either so I don’t feel like moisture is being sucked out of my lips as I wear them! So I feel comfortable wearing these for several hours and indeed several hours is exactly the wear you get from these. Honestly, they feel like MAC’s Amplified Lipsticks to me so if you love that finish you’re bound to adore these shades!
