Myth, Snob, Girl About Town, Russian Red (Lipglass)

Myth is a neutral nude shade that leans a bit peach/coral on my skin. I don’t love the lip line settling this shade does on me in this form.

Snob is a neutral light pink. Pretty shade, but again with the lip line settling.

Girl About Town is a blue-based bright fuchsia. Love it!!!!! Shimmery and vivid. Perfect for this season.

Russian Red is a neutral red. Super bright, super red, super glossy. Gorgeous.

Myth, Snob, Girl About Town, Russian Red (Lipstick)

Myth lipstick (satin) is a really pale peach/nude shade on me. It nearly blanks out my lips in person. Not my fav on me.

Snob lipstick (satin) is a very pretty lavender looking pink.

Girl About Town lipstick (amplified) is a deeper shade of pink than the lipglass is. So pretty and shiny, I love this one.

Russian Red is my favorite red lipstick ever. Utter perfection.

MAC Myth Nail Lacquer MAC Fashion Sets Collection Swatches, Photos & Review
Myth

Myth nail lacquer is a nude/beige creme. This was streaky and uneven. Even after three coats I couldn’t get it perfect. Too matchy matchy for my skin tone but would look better on darker ones I think.

MAC Snob Nail Lacquer MAC Fashion Sets Collection Swatches, Photos & Review
Snob

Snob nail lacquer is a medium pink creme. This was a little sheer and I needed three coats. Still uneven though.

Girl About Town

Girl About Town nail lacquer is a bright fuchsia creme. Pretty shade and nice even application. I only used two coats.

MAC Russian Red Nail Lacquer MAC Fashion Sets Collection Swatches, Photos & Review
Russian Red

Russian Red nail lacquer is a bright red creme. If you are looking for a classic red nail lacquer, this one would be a great choice! Nice formula, even and just two coats.

Overall: I don’t normally do matching colors of anything, but I do occasionally like the idea of matching lips and nails. I really love Girl About Town and Russian Red for the lipstick, lipglass and nail lacquers. Myth and Snob are harder to pull off colors I think, and the nail lacquers were fairly patchy.

Availability: MAC starting in May. This is limited edition and will run through June 28th.

Pricing: $14.50 (Lipglass), $14.50 (Lipstick), $16.00 (Nail Lacquer).

Do you ever do a matching set of makeup? Which of these shades tempts you?

  • The Girl About Town lip colour is the one I think would actually be flattering on me. What a fun, bright shade!

    And Myth looks completely different (and better) on you than it does on me. I bought the lipstick a long time ago and haven’t figured out how to make it work yet.

  • Loving the way Girl About Town looks! To be honest, I think I like it more as the lipglass/lipstick than the nail color. Looks amazing on you!

    I really like Russian Red also (as a lipstick/glass) but am a bit afraid of such red lipstick, even though every girl needs one.

    Russian red and girl about town look phenomenal on you!!!! Love the colors. Own girl about town already.

  • What I really like about these is that the permanent lipsticks are getting more attention, which I think they deserve! I’m not really a gloss girl, and MAC nail polish is too expensive for me, so I probably won’t buy anything but lipstick. It did inspire me to finally buy Rebel though – which has been on my wishlist forever.

  • Wow Kelly, ALL the Girl About Town products look phenomenal on you! I’m loving the lip glass especially. I’m really excited about this MAC launch, I can’t wait to see what Spice looks like.

    I’m surprised Russian Red isn’t #1 in Russia. ;D Kidding, just kidding!

  • Girl About Town nail lacquer looks interesting! And while I kind of like looking at the matchy-matchy sets all together, in reality I don’t often wear the same colours on lips and nails. Loved seeing your swatches, though!

    I love matching lips and nails whenever I can. ‘Girl about town’ and ‘Russian red’ are definitely my favourite of these.

  • I think I’ll really enjoy Girl About Town! I’ve worn matchy-matchy lip color and nail polish with Dior Addict Extreme and Dior Vernis several times. I think it’s actually quite fun, and I’m glad the trend is starting!

    Absolutely loving on Girl About Town! I don’t usually buy MAC anything, but I am tempted to snag the lipglass or lipstick

  • russian red lippie is #1 selling in singapore..? really? most women in town seem to be wearing conservative pinks and nudes.. o_O

    really love the girl about town lippie though! not sure if i’ll be wearing it much though.

  • My hubby has coined a term for dull, lifeless, colourless women who give you a dead fish handshake. He calls them moth-women. Myth is for moth women and not surprisingly this is the best seller in Poland. We have a large population of moth-women here, hahahaha.
    Seriously, Russian Red is absolutely stunning!

  • I don’t know why I haven’t yet tried Russian Red. It’s one of the colours I know I’ll love, but me and MAC lipsticks just don’t get a long very well which explains why I only have 3 in spite f being a lipstick junkie. Next time I pass by a Mac store I’ll have a look at RR and Girl about town. It looks like such a wearable happy colour. I particularly like the lipglass versions. They make your lips look so juicy without sitting in the lines (which I hate).

    Thanks for the swatches!
