My take on the product:
Before I begin, you must all have noticed my love for pinks
and reds when it comes to lipsticks. Even when the shade brown ruled the
lipstick world in 90s and every woman owned at least one brown lipstick in her
vanity, I could never get a proper justification WHY would I want my lips to
look brown!!? :-/ Back then, “brown lips” was equivalent to “dry leaves”. But
coming to the present time, with so many different kinds of browns (like ones
with peachy undertones, ones with pink undertones etc) I could not help fall in
love with this shade ;)

There is a “My-lip-but-better” shade of lipstick for every
complexion out there (given the huge shade range in every brand), and the
perfect MLBB for my lips have always been a light brown with pink undertones or
in other words, a warm pink which I found in Colorbar lipstick in Bare. But
sometimes, it gets a bit boring to use the same shade again and again. This is
where Mocha came in ;)

Mocha is from the Satin range of MAC lipsticks which are neither creamy nor ultra matte. They
are somewhere in between. Mocha glides on
effortlessly on exfoliated and moisturized lips. I would stress on
exfoliated and moisturized lips because Mocha can exaggerate dry and flaky lips
and make them look even more unflattering. The opacity is terrific and one swipe covers all pigmentation. It might
feel a bit heavy on women who are accustomed to only lip glosses or creamy
lipsticks. On matte lovers, this texture can be a delight. The shade is a peachy brown which would come out
differently on everyone: on some it would be more peach and less brown (Like
me!) and for some others it would be a luscious light brown with peach undertones
(for pigmented lips). The staying power
is 4-5 hours on me when used alone and 6-7
hours when used over a n*de lip liner like Lakme 9 to 5 lip liner in “Beige Pink”.
Now the question is, do I like it on myself? Honestly, I was
not at all happy with the shade at first. It accentuated the yellow tones of my
skin and made me look like a “yellow alien” :-/ So, this one was lying unused
in my kitty since long. But recently, I primed my face with a BB cream and some
highlighter, did a basic smokey eye with kajal and brown eye-shadow and THEN
went on to apply Mocha. And VOILA!! I looked very different and very nice ;)
So, I realized that Mocha is to be treated “royally” :D It is not the lipstick
you would “just swipe and go out”. It can make you look REAL good if worn
properly.
Down below, here is a comparison of three lipsticks: First is
MAC Twig which is a warm muddy pink (LOVE!), Second is Colorbar's Bare which is
a perfect blend of brown, pink and peach (LOVE even more!) and last is MAC
Mocha which is a combo of brown and peach ;)

Time for ratings:
Pigmentation: 5/5
Texture: 4/5
Staying power 4/5
Overall: 3.9/5
Recommendation: I would recommend MOCHA only if you are a die-hard
MAC fan. Else, there are a lot of lipsticks which look the same on lips as
Mocha does and that too without burning your pocket
J But yes, shade-wise, you NEED to own one such
shade- perfect partner with smokey eyes!!
