I confess to going a little head over heels for MAC and Rhianna's collaboration MAC RiRi Woo Lipstick...in the words of Rihanna herself what the phuck! Now I have nothing against Rihanna nor would I count myself as a fan and yet I found myself last Friday hunched over my laptop ready to pounce as soon as the now elusive matte red lipstick went live. Forget the American dream I am the epitome of the capitalism dream.
What can I say about MAC RiRi Woo Lipstick that hasn't already been said?
Well contrary to a lot of other reviews I utterly adore it, yes it may be similar to Ruby Woo but that was the point - Rihanna her self has said countless times that said shade was not only her muse for RiRi Woo but a personal favourite. I personally rather enjoy that it has Rihanna's signature engraved on the bullet and do think it is one of those few shades that most can wear.
MAC RiRi Woo lipstick is a bright true classic red with a strong cool blue undertone which truly does make teeth appear white (more so than any other red I own) and as it is a Retro Matte formula it is as matte as matte can possibly be. To me it smacks of retro glam (think Marilyn et al) and as soon as I applied it this morning I felt rather glamorous even if my Pajamas suggested otherwise. As this is matte it can tug a little on the lips and has a slightly waxy texture and can cling to dry patches. I can't really comment on wear time as I only received my tube this morning but so far we are three hours in and aside from a little dryness to the lips the bright red tones of RiRi Woo is still going strong.
Let the madness continue when Rihanna and MAC drop their next collaboration next month (June), count me in for the final sprint to the online finish line. Rihanna you may be dubbed as the "Good Gal Gone Bad" but MAC RiRi Woo has cemented your status firmly in my good books...for now anyway.
MAC RiRi Woo of course sold out within hours of release but the good news is it will be back with other items this coming June.
Random Fact - Rihanna has insured her legs for a cool $1 million.
Gorgeous :D

ReplyDeletewhy do you never show your face??????
ReplyDeleteTruthfully I'm not sure, initially I was really shy about the whole blogging thing (worried that friends etc wouldn't get it) but now I don't really have that problem. I guess I've just stuck with what I know and with the amount of posts I do in a day I do worry that some would be like oh god not her again haha!

ReplyDeletesmith i live in Australia,and I`m happily married to a lovely and caring wife,with two kids A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my wife so terrible that she took the case to court for a divorce she said that she never wanted to stay with me again,and that she did not love me anymore So she packed out of my house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get her back,after much begging,but all to no avail and she confirmed it that she has made her decision,and she never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my wife So i explained every thing to her,so she told me that the only way i can get my wife back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for her too So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow her advice. Then she gave me the email address of the spell caster whom she visited.oduducoduspirituallovespell@gmail.com So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address she gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my wife back the next day what an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my wife who did not call me for the past seven {7}months,gave me a call to inform me that she was coming back So Amazing!! So that was how she came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and she apologized for her mistake,and for the pain she caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster . So, i will advice you out there to kindly visit the same website oduducoduspirituallovespell@gmail.com,i f you are in any condition like this,or you have any problem related to "bringing your ex back. So thanks to Dr oduducodu for bringing back my wife,and brought great joy to my family once again.oduducoduspirituallovespell@gmail.com,
