Review: MAC Girl About Town Lipstick

I'm procrastinating, so I thought I'd do another blog post.


 MAC Girl About Town is a bright blue fuchsia, as described by the MAC website. Personally, I think it's a basic bright pink that works well with warm and dark skin tones. It has an amplified finish so the brightness is no joke.

Swatch on my hand with flash. Right now, I'm about a dark NC45, light NC50.


Flash, no lipstick for reference


Flash with Girl About Town, no lip liner


No flash, lipstick only, in front of a sunny window


I never realize how full my lips are until I do posts like these haha...casual. 
Anyway, I hope this helps someone, kbye!

Review: MAC Rebel Lipstick


I've recently gotten into lipsticks, mainly MAC lipsticks. They seem to have the best staying power and color payoff, and aren't very expensive. 

I currently have 3 MAC colors, Siss, Ruby Woo, and Rebel, which is the focus of this review.

Rebel is a purple-wine-berry color that is vampier than your typical red, more "acceptable" than a bright pink or violet, yet light enough to get away with in the daytime.It lasts a very long time, and even when it does fade away your lips are stained with the color.


Here's Rebel swatched on my hand. It's the middle of winter, so I've lightened up to NC44-45ish.

Here are my lips bare. I only have on EOS so the color doesn't stain as much.

And with Rebel. No lip liner, pretty opaque.

The color in the tube looks a tad darker then it really is. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a berry tones lipstick. If you are olive toned and don't believe me, check out NiaSays' video HERE in which she wears the lipstick(the last look), and if you are porcelain toned, there are a lot of bloggers who have reviewed this. I have found some but I don't want to link a picture from another person's blog. I thought FashionRocksmySocks from YouTube had it but she doesn't... but seriously, google it lol (sorry)
