the black bullet
      
Girl About Town (GAT) is another cult product from MAC and perhaps 
you've heard or been using this beautiful darkened fuchsia colored lippy. 
It is one of MAC's best seller. Again this is blue based. 
And we know that blue based lipstick flatter a lot.

GAT is part of the Amplified range, the best MAC formula for me. It is completely opaque and you could go for a swipe or 2. It perfectly hydrate my lips and  does not dry out. Even though it is creamy, I didn't have problems with feathering and bleeding. I also love love how it leaves a bright fuchsia tint on my lips after 5 hours of staying power.
This formula transfer though. When eating, I see the color transfer to my food or utensils when it touch my beautifuly colored lips. :)

What I love about this shade is you can layer it but the color goes deep and won't go over the top. It is a bright fuchsia but doesn't come off neon like with every swipe.

GAT is my favorite to go pink shade lipstick. I could never go wrong wearing this color.

Pros:
1. Amplified finish with a creamy texture. Applies smoothly without dragging.
2. Bright blue based which flatter different complexions. An instant face brightener.
3. Long staying power of 5hours.
4. Does not dry out lips or emphasize lines.
5. Comes in the usual black bullet packaging with vanilla scent.

Cons:
None! It's one of my favorite from MAC.

Maybe you'd want a more matte pink lippy, check out the MAC Pink Pigeon.

I say this color is a must have, ladies!

'Til then :)

MAC Pink Pigeon

MAC Iris Apfel Collection in Pink Pigeon 



MAC PINK PIGEON
Price: around Php1000
Available in MAC counters: SM MOA, New Eastwood Mall, Trinoma, 

Glorietta 2, Powerplant Mall, Ayala Center Cebu
Finish: Matte


MAC Pink Pigeon is a part of the MAC Iris Apfel collection.

Pink Pigeon, 2nd from right.


As described, Pink Pigeon is a bright cleanest pink. 
It is blue based.
I like blue based lipstick, they certainly flatter. 
One of which I love is the limited edition MAC Pink Pigeon.
As it is limited, it is mostly out of stock in malls as they are snapped up fast especially in such a pretty color. Good thing, I got mine reserved from a trusted supplier. 
I've had Pink Pigeon for a few months now and I've been using it non stop.  
It is my 2nd favorite pink lipstick, next to Girl About Town.


It is very pigmented and 2 swipes, your lips would be screaming 'hot pink'. 
But as other MAC lipstick, it is still very flattering.
I guess, this color is best for those who are fair skinned.
Another thing I love about it is it gives different color depending on the light. 


Because it's a matte finish, it could be drying at times. BUT it doesn't drag when applied.
Because it stays for a god 5-6 hours, 
you'd be left with flaky lips 
if you don't exfoliate and moisturize your lips well.
Although it doesn't feel dry or heavy.

2 swipes and it is a pretty color like in the tube

I think this color is the brightest I got in my stash. 
It is near to Candy Yum Yum's pigment, but a notch less brighter.
So, when I'll have Candy Yum Yum, it will reign as the brightest on my lipstick collection!

Pros:
1. Very pigmented. Even and vivid coverage with one application.
2. Doesn't drag when applied despite the matte finish.
3. Lasts long. Will last for hours, minimal fading, little to no retouching for hours; thus
4. Ok price for a high quality cosmetic.
5. Vanilla smell, yum!

Cons:
1. Availability as it is limited.


Til then, lovelies!
