Hello all,
I have been loving MAC products a lot lately and I like to try their formulas as they seem to work for me pretty well. I bought this stain+gloss hybrid called MAC Versicolor a few months ago and I think I am almost done with this 😛 Well, never too late to review 🙂 So, let’s get straight to the review.

My Experience with MAC Versicolour Stain Truly Everlasting:
The packaging is what caught my eye – it has this beautiful heavy-feeling bottle with the color visible in the middle band. The bottle is very sturdy and feels nice with MAC’s signature shimmery black trims. The applicator is really nice and picks the right amount of product for my preference. Also, it is easy to carry around.
“Truly Everlasting” is a lovely peachy-pink color. Lately, I have an aversion towards pink lips, but with this is an exception because of the peach tones. It does not have any shimmers thankfully. The formula is something that won my heart completely. I am not at all a gloss person; I actually hate glosses, but I fell in love with this!
As the brand claims, it is an amalgamation of gloss and stain which actually seems to work beautifully. It feels amazing on the lips too. Glosses tend to feel heavy and sticky but this formula is super comfortable and feels like a balm. The pigmentation of this particular shade is average, but buildable. I chose this shade because of the medium pigmentation so that I can achieve natural-looking lips and be able to build it if I want to go glam.
Staying power is also impressive. It claims of 8-hour stay which is just overboard, but I see that the shine stays for good 4 hours even with sipping water and coffee breaks in between. If you have lunch, then the glossy effect is gone. It does transfer, but the color will be there on the lips as it is a stain.
Overall, this versicolor stays for 6 hours on average I think. This particular shade leaves behind a soft stain which is pretty easy to remove. I have one more darker shade which stains the lips. Also, it can be a bit drying if you have dry lips at the end of the day. Overall, I totally love wearing this on a daily basis.
