MAC Lipstick Mini Haul - Pinks

Hi Everyone,
This morning my MAC box arrived, yay! I went on a bit of a pink lipstick kick. After opening everything my room smells of that lovely MAC vanilla scent.
Here's what I ordered:

Observant people may notice that there are 4 boxes in the background. That's because I did order 4 lipsticks, one of them being Girl About Town. Sadly it's about to begin its journey back to MAC as I'm returning it :(
I expected a bright bright pink but next to my skin tone it looks a deeper plummy pink to me *tear*.
I think once my money is refunded I'm going to do what I was originally, and order Show Orchid from MAC Pro. If you're NC15-ish and own Show Orchid, how bright does it look for you?

All the lipsticks I got are beautiful, but I love Impassioned. I can't believe I waited so long to get it! Its a perfect warm pink, its ridiculously bright too. If you're a fan of bold lipsticks, definitely give this one a go.

Pink Nouveau is a gorgeous deeper bubblegum pink and it's been on my list forever.

Viva Glam Gaga I was surprised by, I've heard a lot of things about it being unwearable but I find it very wearable. 1 swipe gives a glossy sheen and transparent light pink. Built up I think it's gorgeous :)

I've heard a lot of things about it being similar to Saint Germain, so I thought I'd do a comparison:

(l to r) Saint Germain, Viva Glam Gaga
Personally, I do not think these are similar at all other than the fact that they're both pale pinks. Saint Germain is a lot more purple toned and not as pale as Viva Glam Gaga, whereas Viva Glam Gaga is a warmer bubblegum pink, though I don't find it as bright as Saint Germain. I think Gaga is a lot more wearable.

If anyone has noticed I had a little play around with my blog too, and I think I'm happy with it for now. I made a new header that isn't as busy and added a search bar too :)


Adios, Girl About Town! It just wasn't meant to be :(
