MAC Girl About Town Review and Swatches

Hello everyone! It's Thursday again, and yes, I have no classes. So I decided to always make sure to dededicate an hour or two for this blog when I have free time. I've become so attached to this that this has become a part of my routine.

Enough with the blabber, I am back with my Beauty posts! Today, I will be reviewing one of my favorite MAC lipsticks. I've only had this for 2 months but I can say that it's one of my favorites already. This was a pasalubong from my tita when she went to HK. She seriously knows what I want. <3

If you already have read my current go to make up look, this is the lipstick I used in that post. I use this for school, for going out, and also to parties. If every girl needs a red lipstick, well, in my case, all I need is a fuschia or berry lipstick and I'm all set!


This shade is Girl About Town. It's formula is an amplified creme so it applies smoothly. It dries up semi-matte and it really gives a whopper of a statement! The longevity of this product lasts about 3-4 hours on me without eating. It's lasting period is just like any typical MAC lipstick but it works perfectly fine for me.

The color is more of a blue-toned fuschia pink that I can honestly say will complement any skin tone. I know it may look like a really bold color but you can also use it if you're a girl like me who loves to experiment on "out there" lipstick colors! I actually use this for college and I love it.

Don't be afraid to try out different things. Make up is all about experimenting. It's about art, in my opinion. And our faces are our canvas. Put on red eyeshadow, or maybe even try out a purple lipstick. Why not, right? It's all about expression! :)

(but ofcourse, if you're going to highschool you might as well stick to the nudes haha or your principal might call you if you wear a purple lipstick :p)

Hope you liked this post!
Until my next one.

Make Up Review: M.A.C Red

Red lipstick has always been a staple in a girl's make up collection because it gives a whopper of a statement. I, myself, am afraid to wear red lipstick because I feel that it does not suit me and my skin color.  

A lot of people say that red lipstick is not suitable to everyone. In my opinion, red lipsticks are for everyone, and for every skin color, you just have to find the perfect red lipstick for you! :)

Last week, I dropped by at the MAC counter in Duty Free, Paranaque. My mom said that she would buy me a lipstick, and I wanted to try something new, and that is sporting red lips. I asked the SA there what type of lipstick would suit me. She sugggested Ruby Woo, which is matte. I said I have dry lips so she suggested this one instead, which is M.A.C Red. It's a blue toned red that makes it look pinkish in some lighting.

It is a Satin finish which comes out semi-matte on the lips.

Now let's go on with the review!

Pros:

1. Not drying on the lips

2. Long lasting (Lasts about 5 hours with eating)

3. Leaves a gorgeous stain on the lips if not re-applied within the day

4. The smell is nice. Like some sort of Vanilla scent. (Like every other MAC lipstick smells like)

5. True to color (What you see is what you get from the tube!)

Cons:

1. A little expensive for some (...but it's worth the price for me!)

Here are some swatches:

And then there's me, trying to sport this pretty red lipstick! 

Do you think it suits me or not? :)

How about you? Do you love to wear red lipsticks? What's your perfect red? :)
