Polished London Dry Shampoo in 'Cornwall Coconut'

I finally decided to invest in some dry shampoo but literally had no idea where to start! In New Zealand, there an't very many brands available and the ones we do have are too expensive for something I'd barely use.

Review: M.A.C 'Girl ABout Town' Lipstick

I am a total sucker for bright pink lipsticks and Girl About Town by MAC takes the cake in my collection. We all know and love the quality of MAC lipsticks and this lipstick is no exception. Amazing pigmentation, long lasting and it doesn't bleed - even without a lipliner. 

Girl About Town is a gorgeous dark bright pink (does that even make sense?) from their Amplified range. I would honestly believe that this would flatter all skin tones due to it being such a versatile pink, as you can see in the swatches. It isn't bright enough to wash you out, but it isn't a murky dark pink.

Here in New Zealand, MAC lippies retail for $40NZD each, which is insanely expensive but oh so worth it because of the high quality of these lipsticks. You really are getting what you pay for, the customer service at the MAC counter is amazing too. The ladies there always let me try on several lipsticks before eventually deciding on one. I almost never do this but due to mAC having such a wide colour range, how could I not? 

As you can see, pigmentation of Girl About Town is great. Even after 1 swatch it has full opaque colour and it lasts hours. It is quite matte but this can be remedied with a clear gloss, which amplifies the gorgeousness of the colour. 

Perhaps my favourite thing about this lipstick, besides the colour payoff, is the sheer longevity. It's not very often that you find a long wear lipstick that a) actually lasts and b) doesn't bleed/feather/make you look crazy after 6 hours of wear. I have never worn a lip liner with this lipstick and I often wear this to work, so that's 6 hours of constant talking, drinking and my lunch break. It always lasts, and it leaves a subtle stain on my lips too so that if it does wear off, I don't look crazy. 

I've been wearing this all winter but I also plan on continuing this all summer because it's such a versatile shade. It gives a pop of colour in the winter and in the summer it suits a tan (if you're lucky) or if you're like me, it makes you look alive!

This lipstick is well worth the amount it costs - from gorgeous colour to long lasting, it is my go to lipstick when I'm feeling down or want to sass around university like I own the place.
