MAC Taste Temptation Collection Mattene Lipsticks in Nocturnal Instincts, Seductive Intent, and Night Blooming Review and Swatches

MAC Taste Temptation Mattene Lipstick in Nocturnal Instincts, Seductive Intent, and Night Blooming.
I think of all the collections to come out recently, MAC Taste Temptation, was one of my favorites.
 "A seductive style surfaces after-hours, drawing in an exotic panorama of pleasure-seeking, night-blooming violets. M∙A∙C captures this world in an elegant colour collection of deep purples, plums and amethysts."
What a beautiful color scheme to welcome the cooler weather. This collection included a range of products but this post will focus on the Mattene lipsticks.

MAC Taste Temptation collection included three mattene lipsticks that are semi-mat.
MAC Taste Temptation Mattene Lipstick in Nocturnal Instincts, Seductive Intent, and Night Blooming.
Nocturnal Instincts- A mid toned greyed lavender-
I found this shade to come off as more pink on my lips rather than lavender. It is very soft but does not wash out light skin. I found this shade to last significantly on my lips (about 6 hours) and i did not find this shade drying. If your lips dry out easily apply lip balm on about before applying this product. Because this shade is light flaky lips will be more apparent. Does not settle into lines and does not bleed or feather.

Seductive Intent- Vivid Purple-
This shade had me the most excited. It is so close to the coveted Heroine that it could almost be a dupe. This purple is absolutely beautiful. Lasts for about 6 hours on the lips and is not drying. You can always apply a lip balm shortly before applying this to keep your lips more moisturized. Does not bleed, feather, or exacerbate any lip flaws.

 Night Blooming- Mid Tone Blue Pink-
While described as a pink i found this to be more purple and when placed next to Seductive Intent they look only a few shades off from each other. It is a very flattering color for all skin tones that i have seen it on. This shade lasts about 6 hours on the lips. Since it is darker than Nocturnal Instincts it does not show lip flaws such as flaking lips as easily. There is no bleeding or feathering. This shade isn't drying but if your lips are prone to drying, some lip balm always helps.
