I’d add that it does have a slightly peach tint. MAC calls Myth lipstick a “light neutral nude” and that’s pretty spot on. Myth is the #1 selling lipstick in Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Estonia and Finland. I turn to it to eliminate any color from my lips and give me that mod, Edie Sedgwick kind of look. Myth is my go-to nude when I want a REALLY nude lip. Like Girl About Town, the nail lacquer matched the lipstick perfectly, and covered evenly with two coats. The lipglass is a tad brighter, but adds a shiny layer of fabulousness to the lipstick. But it’s actually quite plush, not drying and wears for ages. I don’t know if MAC has recently updated the formula on their mattes, or if I’ve just tried a lot of bad mattes recently. Russian Red is the #1 selling lipstick in Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Singapore and Venezuela. Not too dark, not too light, it is truly neutral. Like, if an alien landed and never saw red before – you’d show him this. I am not even kidding, they’ll take your red lover card from you if they catch you without it! It’s the perfect red. If you are a red lover and you don’t own Russian Red lipstick, stop what you’re doing and buy it immediately. The nail lacquer matched the lipstick precisely, and covered perfectly with two coats. The lipglass has a fine silver sheen added to the pink base.
Girl About Town lipstick has an amplified finish and fabulous opaque, creamy coverage. Which came first, the lipstick, lipglass or the nail lacquer? In the case of the four trios we looked at, the lipstick is the predecessor. There’s something so summery about a hot pink too, isn’t there? Girl About Town is a blue-based hot pink that’s high impact yet very wearable. We got a look at four of the sixteen sets that were released. Plus, Macy’s in the US will have the Latin America line-up exclusively.Ĭlockwise from top left: Myth, Snob, Russian Red, Girl About Town You can get any set from MAC online and each region will have their respective shade line-up in-store through June 28, 2012. The collection is broken into four regions where the shades are best sellers North America, Asia Pacific, Europe & Africa, and Latin America & Middle East. And lover of retro that I am, I find myself asking “what’s so bad about matching?” MAC answers “not a thing” with it’s introduction of Fashion Sets matching trios of Lipstick, Lipglass and Nail Lacquer that were created in honor of some of their best sellers worldwide. Match your shoes to your purse? As a teenager I sometimes didn’t even match my shoe to my other shoe!īut as all things do, trends you once rebeled against become fashionable again. I’m not sure when it happened, but there seemed to be a revolt somewhere along the way against the matchy ways of our elders. There’s something very retro about matching when it comes to fashion and beauty. MAC makes it fashionable to match again, and we’ve got LOTS of pics to prove it!
