I'm sure you've seen all the my posts from last week explaining about how i'm doing individual posts on my mac lipsticks. So I'll get straight into
Mac Smoked Purple is a deep purple/vampy colour. mac describe it as eggplant purple. I would agree. It's a matte shade so lasts a good length of time on the lips and is the most drying out of all the finishes but I don't really find drying an issue when I wear this! I am such a fan of this colour especially in autumn and I also find it makes my teeth look whiter, which I don't mind at all.
Hope the swatches help you and let me know what you think of this shade.
see you soon, han x

Smoked Purple

Lancome Lucky Kiss Lipstick Swatch

is a matte, deep plum. It is certainly more red-toned, but on my lips it doesn't appear red at all for some reason. On other people it looks more red, though, so I'm not sure what's up there.

This lipstick is very tough and difficult to apply, even for a matte. It takes me a very long time to build up opacity with this lipstick, and even then it's tough to get it to apply on the inner bits of my lips. If I apply it without lip balm underneath, the color goes on less patchy but dries out my lips badly. If I apply it with a lip balm underneath, I can't even apply any color because it slips around too much.
I was disappointed by this lipstick because it was my first MAC lipstick and I love the color, but unfortunately it just doesn't work. This lead me to find a dupe, and make this post.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, Transylvania
Neither lipstick nor lip gloss, this matte lip cream is a new kind of lip color that goes on silky smooth and sets to a matte finish. Soft Matte Lip Cream is surprisingly durable and, unlike some matte lipstick formulas, also moisturizing.

Transylvania is matte deep red-toned plum. Like Smoked Purple, it appears less red-toned on my lips than on other's.
Because it is a lip cream and not a lip gloss or lipstick, the application is a bit strange but certainly easier than Smoked Purple. At first this cream appears more shiny and not truly matte, but this goes down and eventually you really do get a full matte finish.
Unfortunately I've found that this color flakes off a bit if I eat, drink, or smoosh my lips together. If I try to reapply, then, I'll get an unpleasant and thick-feeling film over my lips. It is definitely strange to reapply, and with such a dark color even the lightest bit of fading or flaking looks odd. This is, in my opinion, the only downside to this product.

CONCLUSION

While neither of these products absolutely blow me away, the colors are pretty similar. MAC's is priced at $16.00, while NYX's is just $6.00. Taking the prices, qualities, and colors into consideration -- I'd go with NYX's, no doubt about it.
