Bourjois Lipstick In 53

I seem to do a lot of lipstick posts, it's not just that I own a lot of them (which I do) they're just quite easy and nice to review. Anyway here's another one from my collection, it's a Bourjois lipstick in the colour 53 Brique Chic.

 I saw this in the Clearance in boots, I'm not going to lie to you,I bought it because it was £1.50 and it was Bourjois. My shopaholic ways truly have gotten the better of me haven't they?

The packaging is quite obscure but I really like it, the only problem is that my aunty has one of these and the little toggle has broken on the side so she can't get at it anymore. Hopefully this won't happen to me!

Oh Gosh is my skin this pale!

The colour is not very me at all, It's actually the only red lipstick I own, I'm much more of a pink girl. But I do actually really like this, it's brown based so it's not as hard to pull off as a shocking red. I'm really enjoying having a colour that isn't very me!

Quality wise this wears nicely, but it does that thing where it stays on the outside of your lips and fades a lot towards the inside. Anyone know what I mean? It's also quite stiff in the bullet so it can only be sheered out a certain amount.

This is all,

Mac Girl About Town

Are you excited? I know I am, wanna know why? First ever Mac lipstick! Well I've actually had this a month now so the excitement has worn off, but I wanted to use it a few times before I did a review. I wanted this post to be more of a 'is it worth splurging' than just a regular review.

 I was going to get Lickable but they had ran out so I went for Girl About Town as it quite similar. I wanted to go for something bright to make it a little bit special.

It looks a little bit shimmery here but it isn't, it's just the way the sun has caught it. Colour wise I love this, I think that's the main thing that would convince me to get another Mac Lipstick, I'm definitely going to go for something more everyday next time though, any recommendations?

Quality wise, I can definitely tell a difference between this and drugstore lipstick, the wear time of this is good, but as well as that it fades nicely whereas I find a lot of lipsticks stick to dry bits and fade quite patchily. 

Is it worth the money?

Yes and no. I don't think it's worth nearly twice the price of say the Revlon ones,  but I would say it's worth a little bit more. I do really love having a Mac lipstick though, for a makeup lover they're just a nice thing to own. Also in the great scheme of things £13.50 isn't extortionate when you consider the Dior or YSL lipsticks.

Basically for me this would be a little treat to myself rather than something I consider necessary to have. I hope this helped anyone who's a little strapped for cash, I got this as a present so I didn't have to fork out but I think I might buy myself one as a treat when I feel I deserve it!
