RiRi Woo Review & Swatches

Well hello there.

So after all the hype and glueing my eyes to the Mac website whilst  frantically trying to add this baby to my cart and proceed with the wind to checkout....it has finally, well, they have finally made their way into my arms all the way in Trinidad.

MAC RiRi Woo Lipstick ($15.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “matte cool red [with a retro matte finish].” It’s a deep, medium-dark red with strong cool undertones and a matte finish. It has a slight more blue hue than that of big sis Ruby Woo.

In my opinion, the difference isn't very noticeable, and to be quite honest, it looks like the same lipstick.  However, I do not feel cheated as the texture is somewhat different to Ruby Woo, since it is much more moist in comparison. And we all know how dry Ruby Woo is.

RiRi Woo has Rihanna’s signature etched around the side of the lipstick itself.  I would have loved to have seen Mac do a bit more with the packaging though.

This lipstick was only available online and sold and Rihanna concerts, but catch it next time around when Mac re-releases it with the rest of the RirRi ♥'s Mac in June.

I absolutely love everything Robyn Rihanna Fenty and I will duly support my fellow Island Girl, even moreso in this venture.

I am so ready for more...

Mac Azealia Banks - Yung Rapunxel

Hello,

I know I've been missing in action for quite some time but I've just been soooo busy with work for the past couple months and for that I do apologize my lovelies.

I've had this lipstick for about a week and I haven't had the chance to take proper lip swatches but i thought I'd share just a couple photos I took with my phone.

So as you may or may not know, new rapper Azealia Banks teamed up with Mac to bring you Yung Rapunxel which is her signature lipstick color and is named after her alter ego. The lipstick is dark purple-ish plum and has an amplified finish. I have to say I've been wanting a dark lippie for quite some time and am so glad to add this to my collection.

 

 

 

 

I'll try to add some lip swatches as soon as I can...

Mac Dollymix Blush Swatches and Review

I've been looking for a nice pink blush and was told to try this one out. This is not a newbie, this girl's been on the block a while.

Dollymix is a sheertone blush which makes it very easy to apply. It's buildable so you can pack it on for more POW.

Mac Lightscapade MSF Review and Swatches

So I've had a battle with myself about Little Miss Lighscapade since last year. I'm not a big highlight girl. I mean the only thing close to a highlighter that I own is the Giddy Gold blush from Elf. When Chantel got it back when the Fall Color Collection came out, I was a bit curious.

I was glad to hear it would be back with Reel Sexy but I still wasn't sold. Even when I went into the store for the launch, I was like "hmmmmmm should I, or should I not?". I gave in......but I absolutely love it. I'm seriously gonna be wearing it everyday.

The one I got has a lot less veining than the ones I've seen online which was a bit disappointing but oh well.

MAC Lightscapade Mineralize Skinfinish is described as a “soft candlelit beige with multi-dimensional shimmer.” It is limited edition, but it did previously launch like I said with the Fall Color Collection back in September, 2011.

MSF's can be used as a bronzer, blush or highlighter, but Lightscapade is most definitely a highlighter, especially on brown skin.

Mac Reel Sexy Heroine Lipstick Swatches and Review

So I wasn't big on purple lipsticks until Chantel at Blush Happy convinced me that it was worth a try and Heroine was the best place to start.

Heroine is a magenta purple and has a matte finish. There is a slight sheen though. It is very opaque and goes on smooth. It is very close to Mac Violetta which is a slight bit darker and has a shimmer as it is an Amplified lipstick.

I'm so excited to wear this out :D

Mac Hey Sailor Sail La Vie Lipstick Review and Swatches

Sail La Vie is a bright mid-tone orange and has a satin finish. Let me tell you, I'm afraid of orange and this is my first bright orange lipstick. I wanted to try Neon Orange which came out with the Fall Color collection last year but I was very hesitant and left the store without it. I ended up just getting Rebel which is a plum lipstick.

I'm so glad I got my hands on this and am brave enough to try it (I think). This shade however is much more wearable and a little less daring than Neon Orange.

Isn't the packaging fabulous????

Mac Hey Sailor Jaunty Eyeshadow Review and Swatch

Jaunty is a light yellow beige and has a frost finish. It's the perfect highlight. It has a sort of champagne look which I'm absolutely in love with.

Dupe maybe???? LA Girl Soulmate vs Mac Runaway Red

I recently purchased Runaway Red from the Shop Mac Cook Mac collections and even though it's slightly darker than my LA Girl Soulmate lippie, it reminded me a lot of it. I may even say it's a dupe. You be the judge...


Oh!!! Also, Runaway Red has a Satin finish and is more matte than Soulmate.
