Technically I still haven't purchased my first MAC lipstick, since this was a Christmas present of one of my best friends. In fact, she has bought me nearly every piece of MAC make-up I own! She hit the nail on the head with this again, as the colour is to die for. I absolutely love bold and bright lipstick colours. On a day-to-day basis, I would definitely reach for a nice pink instead of a nude colour, no matter what I'm wearing. I love to bringing some kind of colour to my face.
I originally only used this for special occasions; for meals or nights out. But then I realised I'm useless at looking after things when I've had a few too many, and I couldn't stand the thought of losing it because it's such a pretty colour. Now it stays firmly in my make-up draw, so I can apply it first thing in the morning, and I'll always know where it is when I feel like it needs a bit of a colour top-up.
The colour is Girl About Town (Amplified- to make it even better!) and it is super pigmented and moisturising. You only need to apply one coat to get the full effect of the lovely Fuchsia colour. The creamy texture makes your lips feel fuller and just altogether lovely. The bright Fuchsia will stay put for around 4-5 hours (even through a full meal) and afterwards will still leave an even stain on your lips. You can't really fault the staying power!
Being fairly new to MAC lipstick, I'm super impressed with the quality and I'm pretty sure this won't be their only lipstick in my collection down the line. I can now fully appreciate why beauty bloggers rave about MAC lipstick and why they have such an extensive collection in their storage. I've just jumped on the bandwagon! It's a real 'out there' colour, and although it may not be everyone's cup of tea, I love it! It gives the right pop of colour for when you need a sassy day!
Would you wear such a bright colour?
I still haven't tried any of MAC's lipsticks yet and I really don't know why haha! Everyone is always talking about how amazing they are, I'll have to give them a go. This colour is gorgeous, I'm not sure I could pull it off but I'd love to be able to!

I was exactly like that until Christmas! I wanted to take the plunge, but didn't even know where to begin! They really are probably the best lipstick brand I've ever tried. I think it was the price that put me off to begin with, they're more high end lipsticks for me! x
