RiRi ♥ M•A•C Summer Collection launched today at 12PM EST! I knew it would be so crazy, which is why I HAD to set an alarm on my phone so I could get a piece of the queue pie! The collection includes three lipstick colors: RiRi Woo (cool, blue-red), Heaux (muted berry red) and RiRi Boy (vivid lavender-violet) all with matte finishes, Hibiscus Kiss (powder/blush duo), and rose gold bronzer Barbados Girl (water-based, lustre drops). They can be seen here.
RiRi Woo was released last month and I was so excited to cop one! My Mom is also a big fan of red lips so I had to get her one for Mother’s Day. Being a brown girl, I never thought I would be a fan of red lips. Thanks to my Mom, I quickly shied out of that and start collecting them. CoverGirl’s QC Cherry Bomb, MAC’s Ruby Woo, Russian Red, and RiRi Woo are my faves. It’s all about how you pair it with your liners — just have fun with it! But peep this…it sold out in 3 hours! Well the good thing is the entire RiRi Hearts M•A•C Summer released today (June 18th), so those who didn’t get to purchase it before could do so then. Then the wait…
My first seven or so attempts led to timeout screens. Boooooooo! I’m pretty persistent so I was determined to get RiRi Woo for someone very special for their birthday. I can’t say who it is *whispers* just in case they are reading this! Well about two hours later, I finally made it through. As soon as my confirmation was emailed, I let out a sigh of relief!
I love my new lipstick shades. I already know they are going to be perfect for Summer! They should arrive just in time for my upcoming trip. Can’t wait to wear them! What’s your favorite lipstick and/or brand?
You have all three shades?
I like red lipstick too…pinks, browns, burgandy too. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect gold lipstick color, however.
Yes, I got all of them! I bought RiRi Woo the first round since I liked Ruby Woo so much. I bought this one for my Sister’s birthday. I found a really pretty goldish color last year by Cover Girl. I really liked it! Check that collection out. They always have those rich, pretty colors. And dare I say it…Fashion Fair probably has a perfect gold that you would like!
LOL! No one likes Fashion Fair, lol. That’s funny! I’ve been intending to look at Milani’s gold lipstick in person to see if it’s what I’m looking for.
Cute post by the way! :-)
Hey now…I said that with a serious face! Lol You’d be surprised of what you can find today. I think they’ve become more in tune with what is “trendy” and cute. Still slightly on the old-school, but more contemporary. I like Milani’s products. But seriously, check out Cover Girl’s QC! :-) …And thanks ya kindly!
The order process was the worst ever!!! I had an easier time getting Beyonce tickets lol I’m excited to try the lipsticks… I never get into online Limited Edition collections. But the visual was so pretty I couldn’t resist!
Melanie, this is my first time having to go through this madness! The last collection I purchased was the Hello Kitty and it was in-store! Totally new experience. lol I hope you like your collection! And how cool — you’re going to see Beyonce! I see her in a few weeks at Essence Fest! I can’t wait!
I never wear lip color, but I keep saying that I’m going to try a pink lip color. I can’t wait to see how these colors look on you!
I never wore lipstick. I remember buying “Cherry Bomb” from the Cover Girl QC 2 years ago and LOVED it! Did I say it was RED? lol Been a crazy lipstick junkie ever since. I think all of the colors would look great on you! If you want a pink…MAC’s viva glams are nice!
