MAC All About Orange: Lipsticks (Part I)

This past Thursday, MAC released a new collection in stores called All About Orange, which is inspired by the orange colour trend in Korea and "its vibrant energy and modern edge [that] ignites fashion and beauty big time throughout the world. It's one of the new global super-shades that pops with sizzle and cool sophistication." All About Orange consists of 18 products, and sees the release of seven shades of Lipstick — four of which are new and limited edition, and three of which are re-promotes. Each lipstick comes in regular black packaging, contains 3 grams of product, and retails for $18. These are applicable for the Back to MAC recycling program. 
Flamingo, Neon Orange, Razzledazzler, and Sushi Kiss
Flamingo, Neon Orange, Razzledazzler, and Sushi Kiss

Flamingo is a light-medium warm coral-pink in a Lustre finish. This is a re-promoted shade from last year's Iris Apfel collection, and is limited edition. The texture is soft and creamy, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has medium-high pigmentation and semi-opaque colour pay-off. It is more coral than Lovelorn, slightly darker and more pink than Coral Bliss, and lighter and less pink than Sunny Seoul.

Neon Orange is a medium vibrant orange with red undertones in an Amplified finish. This is a permanent shade at PRO stores, and is a re-promote at all other locations. The texture is soft and creamy, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is very similar to Morange and Good to Go Pro Longwear Lipcreme, and less red than Lady Danger.

Razzledazzler is a light-medium warm peach-coral in a Lustre finish. This is a re-promoted shade from 2007's Raquel Welch collection, and is limited edition. The texture is soft and creamy, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has medium-high pigmentation and semi-opaque to opaque buildable colour pay-off. It is slightly lighter than Coral Bliss, lighter than Ravishing, and less bright and less orange than Style Surge Mineralize Rich Lipstick.

Sushi Kiss is a light-medium orange-peach in a Satin finish. This is a new and limited edition shade. The texture is soft and creamy, and goes on smoothly and evenly. It has high pigmentation and opaque colour pay-off. It is lighter and less pinked than Ravishing, more peach than Gotta Dash! Sheen Supreme Lipstick, and lighter and more orange than Style Surge Mineralize Rich Lipstick.

Calling all fans of orange/peach/coral lipsticks! MAC has another seven options for you to drool over, just in time for summer. Flamingo is going to be incredibly coveted if its popularity during its original release with last year's Iris Apfel collection is any indication. It is also by far the most pink-toned of the seven, so it will not only appeal to the orange/peach/coral fans, but also the pink fans, so I think it'll be the first one to sell out. For those who missed out on Razzledazzler during last year's Fashion Sets collection (it was an Asia exclusive shade, but was available online in North America), here's your chance to pick it up in store. Sushi Kiss is a lovely peach shade in the tube, but there's a slight yellow undertone to it that can make many complexions look sallow, so I advise trying it on first. For those who want Neon Orange but don't live near a PRO store, here's your chance to pick it up in stores now. However, if you have Morange, you can definitely skip on Neon Orange, as they're virtually the same shade and in the same finish, too.
