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 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

Lip swatch coming soon...

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????

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.

L.A Girl Soulmate Luxury Creme' Lip Color Review and Swatches

Let me tell you how I fell in love with lipstick...

Meet my soulmate :) Well not my real soulmate but this lipstick comes in very close. It's a rich blue-toned red. It's very creamy and goes on opaque. It gives about 4 hours of wear.

This is the first red lipstick I dared to try and have been in love ever since. I even got so brave that I started trying more bold  colours.

I have a few other shades in this brand which I absolutely can't get enough of. I'll try my best to review them, even in the bad state that they're in :)

Also, I'll try to do a lip swatch but I really don't like how my lip looks when I do close-ups :(

The formula:

Its blend of moisturizing ingredients of aloe, shea butter & vitamin E enhances lips, leaving a smoother, healthier feel.


It retails at $4.00USD on the LA Girl website

You can also get it here in Trinidad at Wonderful World West Mall. They no longer stock it at the Gulf City Branch :( womp womp womp...

Glam Life: Mac Force of Love Lipstick Update

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I was at a video shoot on Sunday and I had to do my own makeup. There was a MUA on set but I dunno what happened. Anywho, almost all the ladies on set had to their own hair and makeup and guess what! I decided to try out my Mac Force of Love from Shop Mac. I really don't think this is a daytime lippie but hey, to each their own. There are different ways of wearing a lipstick anyways.

In between takes I went outside to chill and just snapped a couple pics with my phone.

You can find my review HERE

Mac Shop Mac, Cook Mac: Runaway Red Review and Swatches

So Runaway Red is a very vibrant red. At first glance I thought it would be a bit darker when I put it on but it was not. It has a satin finish and it very moist. This is the perfect statement lipstick and is the Yin to my Ruby Woo yang as Ruby Woo is extremely matte and very dry but I love it all the same.

This looks a lot like my LA Girl 'Soulmate' lipstick which was what inspired me to wear bold lipsticks. Will do a comparison soon to see if it's a dupe. 

Stay Glam!

Mac Shop Mac, Cook Mac: Quick Sizzle Review and Swatches

It's your lipstick junkie here again with another one. You may have seen my haul the other day and so here's the review.

This one's a bright blue-based fuchsia pink with opaque color coverage. It has a matte finish. It's a very moist matte though and is very creamy. Since I gave away my Show Orchid lipstick from the Mac Fall Color collection there has been a void to fill. Although Quick Sizzle is not as bright a fuchsia as Show Orchid is, it's close enough for me. Show Orchid is actually an Amplied, so it has a bit of shimmer. This lipstick does not show up as a fuchsia on me, it is a bit paler as you can see in the photos below. Nonetheless I am in LUST.

Stay Glam!
