MAC's famous Girl About Town lipstick - Review + Swatches!

Girl About Town lipstick by MAC is a classic fuchsia that you might have in your collection already, especially if you love a statement lip. It's quite a popular MAC item, and I never really knew why until now.

I picked this lovely lipstick on a whim as a BACK 2 MAC item on my vacation to Toronto this summer, remembering somewhere in the back of my mind that Miss Pixiwoo had used it in a recent makeup tutorial. I haven't had time to wear it much until this past week!

I've often been disappointed in MAC's lipstick texture. I often find them drying, and difficult to apply smoothly. My lips are already dry, and adding a MAC lipstick usually makes the matter worst. The Amplified Creme finish of the MAC's Girl About Town, however, is absolutely dreamy. The lipstick glides smoothly on application, and had incredible pigmentation.

The swatch on my hand consists of one swipe of the lipstick. Not too shabby!

And on my lips. Isn't the finish just stunning? I love that sheen!

I love that this lipsticks somehow (and without shimmer/glitter) makes my lips feel fuller. I also like the color against my complexion. I must admit however, that the color is a bit too bright for my personal everyday taste - I've worn it dabbed on lightly to work and it was still quite bright. Still though, I'm very content in having this lipstick in my collection for when I'll fancy something fun!

Girl About Town wore easily for 4 hours, including eating and drinking, and left a pleasant pink stain.

Of all my MAC lipsticks, I'd say this beats them all in formula and pigmentation. This is one for the books!
