MAC Nasty Gal Matte Lipsticks from the left: Runner, Stunner and Gunner ($16 US each, $19 CAD)“Psst! Look at that girl.”
“Which girl…?”
“That one!”
“Which one? That one right there?”
“Yeah, that one you’re rudely pointing at in broad daylight right there, LOL! The one wearing the dark matte lipstick.”
“Yeah, I see her… She’s nasty.”
From the left: Runner, Stunner and Gunner“What!? What are you talking about, ‘she’s nasty’? That’s a terrible thing to say!”
“No, doofus. Not like that. I mean she is literally a nasty gal.”
“You lost me…”
“I mean she’s wearing one of the three lipsticks in the new MAC Nasty Gal collection.”
Another fab collab, this one between MAC and Nasty Gal owner/founder Sophia Amoruso, the four-piece MAC Nasty Gal collection is coming to select MAC stores and the MAC website December 4 (through January 1, 2015) with three lipsticks in Stunner (a matte red), Runner (a matte burgundy) and Gunner (a deep matte purple) for $16 US/$19 CAD, as well as a true red Studio Nail Lacquer with a creme finish called Flaming Rose ($12 US/$14 CAD; not shown in this post).
Swatches from the left: Stunner, Runner and Gunner“Oh…”
“Yeah, being a nasty gal is good now if you like your lipsticks dark, matte and severe.”
“OK.”
“I think it’s supposed to be (air quotes) ‘edgy,’ or something.”
MAC Nasty Gal Matte Lipstick in Gunner“Oh…then I want to be a nasty girl.”
“Um, hello, Vanity 6! It’s ‘nasty gal,’ not ‘nasty girl.’ Sometimes you’re so hella ’80s…”
“Haha, she’s got jokes. But no, really, do you think I could pull that off?”
“Yeah, I think you could if you had absolutely no traces of a bad dry lip sitch, because those lipsticks are dark, capital D-A-R-K, and they don’t leave any room for imperfections. They’re totally unforgiving, especially the burgundy shade (Runner) and the dark purple (Gunner). My flakes were front and center when I tried ‘em, but the red shade (Stunner) was better.”
Runner, and flakes like WHOA!
Stunner“Ooh! OK…I’m gonna get nasty with the red then.”
“Yeah, get nasty with the red.”
“Nasty!”
“Stop, ya perv.”
