Summer Season: MAC Morange & MAC Girl About Town


MAC Girl About Town
MAC Morange

   







Ahhh summer! A time of frequent beach visits, refreshing fruity treats and, for the lucky ones, long vacations far, far away from home. Until then, I guess these vibrant lipsticks will have to suffice.  

MAC Girl About Town ($14.00) is a darkened, but bright, fuchsia pink. It has an Amplified finish, which makes for a creamy and opaque lipstick. This shade goes with practically every skin and hair color (even blondes—you girls don’t have to limit yourselves to just pale pinks, just sayin’). Perhaps it’s why it has been in the MAC permanent collection since forever and, if I am not mistaken, their best-seller list as well. This fuchsia shade is a great replacement for red, especially for those who can't find their perfect shade or don't think they can pull it off.

 MAC Morange ($14.00) is a loudmouth neon-orange not for the faint of heart. When applying, as seen on my lush lips above (I’M KIDDING), I kept the color subdued because if you build the color, it can end up looking like a highlighter stained your lips.  Still, I must admit it’s one of my favorite lipsticks because it looks as if I just ate a sorbet in the middle of the summer. It has the same Amplified finish as Girl About Town, however, I find it to be slightly more drying. So remember to always moisturize before applying!

  1. Hmmmm i think i would be willing to try the purpley one but definitely not the orange haha its not me. And i like how you included the thing about how blondes don't have to limit themselves to light pinks. Which is partly true because i think i mainly wear a light pink gloss if anything.

  3. I love that fuchsia lipstick! Personally, I don't wear lipstick, but I think I might have to start. I also like the orange one too, it's very summer.
