Pros
The pigmentation is great and the color is really beautiful. The longevity is quite decent, and it seems to have a chocolate-like scent. The fragrance is also nice, and the luxurious case and clean design were really good. The color was truly beautiful.
Cons
It accentuated the flakiness and tended to bleed out. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be much else.
Tip
I apply it by blending it on my lips, not using it as a full lip product. I've sometimes mixed a small amount with foundation and used it as a cream blush, which worked well. But be careful, as it can stain.

Pros
The formula is not too matte and is quite nice. It's a warm tone and suits me perfectly. When applied to the lips, it has a slightly pink tint to the tomato color...? It's pretty.
Cons
(I generally prefer tints over lipsticks, so please keep that in mind) It has a crayon-like smell. The longevity is just so-so, but it smears and bleeds a lot. One day I looked in the mirror and my lipstick was all over my face! Whenever my boyfriend even touches my face, my lipstick ends up all over. I can't even kiss him. I only wear it when I'm not seeing my boyfriend.
Tip
If it feels too dry and doesn't apply well, try putting on some lip balm first, then wipe it off just before applying the lipstick. If you're having trouble applying it nicely, use a lip brush to apply it.

Pros
I really wanted to buy a Mac product, so I looked around and thought about it for a long time, but I was disappointed that the color wasn't what I had in mind... I stupidly tested it without removing my lip balm, and for some reason, it looked more pink on my lips than the coral-ish tone I was hoping for. But when I use it with other colors, it looks pretty!
Cons
Even though they said it has good staying power and doesn't smear on cups, I feel like I was duped. It smears a lot and wears off easily. The staying power is about the same as drugstore lipsticks. It could be because I applied lip balm first before putting on the lipstick. I'm not sure.
Tip
If you apply a generous amount of lip balm before bed and gently rub your lips when washing your face in the morning, the flakiness will be almost gone, which is great for wearing matte lipsticks!

Pros
Honestly, the joy of MAC is in the variety of colors you can own... The Soso is just perfect for that purpose. The colors are so beautiful. There are many lipsticks that are named 'orange' but end up swatching pink, but this is a true vibrant orange - it's like a neon light on your face! The more you layer it, the more beautiful the glow that comes through, though phone photos don't do it justice. So don't just look at the photos and think 'that's not orange' - you have to test it out, it's truly gorgeous. It's a matte formula, so you do have to do some lip prep, but it's worth it because the color is so beautiful. As spring is coming, warm-toned beauties should definitely get this. Personally, I didn't have any issues with patchiness or fading, though the longevity was so-so - I had to reapply after eating and drinking coffee. But the color transfer is about the same as regular lipsticks. Overall, the color is the biggest strength, and it's so worth dealing with the minor inconveniences.
Cons
When it fades, it doesn't fade evenly - the middle just disappears, leaving the outline. Then when you try to reapply, the inner lip line and the edge don't match up, so you have to wipe it all off (which is a hassle) and start over. And even though it's matte, it still transfers more than I'd like.
Tip
Even though it's a matte lipstick, there is still some transfer, so after applying, you can gently blot with a tissue and lightly dust over with powder to minimize that. Since you're adding powder over the matte formula, make sure to exfoliate and moisturize your lips well before applying.
