Mac Amplified Creme Lipstick - Girl About Town Review

Here is the last of the Mac lipsticks I got for my birthday (I know, I'm a lucky lucky girl!) Check out my previous reviews of Impassioned & Candy Yum-Yum! As you can tell I have a major love for lipsticks.... especially pink ones! 
Another Amplified Creme from Mac here, a gorgeous creamy formula (my fav!). I have been eyeing this up honestly for months and months and now I finally have it I'm actually annoyed I hadn't bought it sooner because it is a beaut!

This shade reminds me slightly of a Mac lipstick I bought years ago called Trimming Talk, which was discontinued, (yup I was devo!) just a little less vibrant - it is a gorgeous deep fusicha shade.
As you can see I've already worn this one - couldn't wait sorry! Although I probably should of cleaned it up a bit before giving it a photoshoot - opps a daisy! I do look after my make-up I promise!

This is such a wearable colour - daytime, nighttime even bloomin bedtime - I will be wearing this!
I choose to wear this out for my birthday night out and thought I'd insert some photos in here so you can see what it looks like on - because normally I'm rubbish at doing that - blogger fail! (in some of these I may be a little tipsy... but it was my birthday so you can let me off right?)
It's a little darker than the other shades I featured recently but for me this is a must have colour! If you're looking to purchase a new or even your first mac lipstick I would highly recommend Girl About Town!

The pigmentation as always with Amplified creme's is perfect for me - just one swipe and you get a flawless thick opaque colour (like below) - what more could you want?
Girl About Town  is £15 and I think well worth it - I've found a pink that is so wearable and great for my skintone, a product I'd buy over and over again!

Have you tried Girl About Town?

Mac Amplified Creme Lipstick - Impassioned Review

Oh hello there lovely readers - I am back with another review, horrayyyy I hear you cheer! I feel like I haven't done a proper good old beauty blogger review in forever (I've missed it!) and am so glad to be back in the game with the first of 3 new mac lipsticks I want to share with you guys!
If you saw my mini birthday haul (or my instagram) you will know that my lovely boyfriend spoilt me with 3 new Mac lipsticks for my birthday... I know, such a nice guy..... so I thought I would go ahead and take some photos of the beauties, first up - Impassioned.
Now when I hit Twitter a couple of weeks ago and asked what shades you girls thought I should be lusting after sooo many of you piped up and said this badboy and I have to say - I am glad I listened to you all.. good choice ladies!
I had looked online at other reviews and swatches and thought it looked gorgeous and now I have it here I have to say it looks even better in real life.

Firstly, it is one of the amplified creme lipsticks - a personal favourite formula of mine.
I love how shiny and creamy these shades come out and the pigmentation is fabulous - only one swipe and this colour is completely opaque... now that is the results I want from a lipstick! (none of this sheer, use 100 coats to get a good colour rubbish!)
As you can see by the photos - I've already used it! Yup sorry for breaking blogger rule #1 - taking photos of the product in brand new, mint condition - but it was my birthday and I couldn't wait to get this on my lips! (you can forgive me right?)

This is such a bright, fun and unique shade - I'm happy to say I don't think I have any others that are similar. (which is pretty good for someone who has nearly 70 lipsticks!)
Perfect for both days and evenings I can see me wearing this constantly all year round!
Bright lips in summer are my fav!
I think Impassioned would suit a range of skin tones, I'm super pale and it doesn't look ridiculous on me and I can imagine it looking fab when I have a tan too (if that ever happens!)
If you are after a new pink shade and want to avoid the standard Barbie pink this is a great colour for you - with it's bright watermelon-like colour it stands out a mile.

Not only am I loving this colour but it's stay time is super impressive - I literally had to use my cleanse and polish to get it off - that is what I call long-lasting!
As you all know Mac lipsticks are now £15 - I'm very lucky to have received it as a present as £15 for a lipstick isn't something I can afford to do alot  (even though I have a list as long as my arm that I want to invest in!)  - although I do think the quality for the price is definitely worth it.
Bring on my trip to the USA and cheaper Mac price tags!

What are your favourite lipstick shades (Mac or not!) ?
Keep your eyes peeled for some more Mac lipstick reviews coming soon.
