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!
This is all,
