Riri's Back...

After the rush that happened with the previous Rihanna collection, it is more than safe to say that a lot of makeup artists are already itching for this collection to be released in the UK! With the collection selling out within 15miutes across the shore with our American counterparts I can confidently say that this is likely to be the case when it is finally launched over here.

The collection will be available in the UK online and in stores from December 10.

Hey Loves, 

How have you all been? How has life been treating y'all???

So basically I know that you all have been seeing the make-up world going crazy over the oh so gorgeous Rihanna collaboration with MAC Cosmetics. This was to create a range specific to Rihanna like the Nicki Minaj collaboration to create the Pink Friday lipstick and the Viva Glam Nicki and Viva Glam Nicki 2 one. 

There were pictures flying around of what may or may not be in the collection (see pic below)

And to say that even I was excited is an understatement to say the every least. I had to confer with the bestie and a few babes to see what they thought about the upcoming collection and see who was going to be involved with me lol. 

So our American counterparts were the first to be blessed with the lipstick and with it selling out within three hours I made up my mind that I would definitely buy mine the next day! It was as deep as me having to set reminders on my phone and waiting with my phone set on the page till 11am for it to be active.

So long story short?

GAL GOT HER RIRI-WOO THOUGHHHHHH!!!

So the packaging is your standard MAC which I must say I was a tad bit disappointed about because I would have liked to see it stand out from the rest and the pictures floating around made it seem so! None the less there is nothing we can do about that. The lipstick itself has Rihanna's signature embossed into it which gives it a unique touch. This lipstick has been described as a blue toned red! Which apparantly makes it darker than its over loved (my opinion) predecessor Ruby Woo! This is cool but from the picture (which I do understand is just for promotional purposes) made it seem like it would be a sort of deep berry or almost black kind of colour which is actually what I think of when I think of Rihanna but nether the less it is a pretty colour and I was happy to have it.

Now the problem that seems to be surrounding this lipstick is that it is VERY similar to Ruby-woo! I know that a lot of 'make-up gurus' and the public in general are very disappointed about this! I personally cannot comment as I do not own Ruby-woo so this is a new shade FOR ME! But to be honest from the swatches and pics I have seen going around they do look pretty similar.

So for that reason I would not suggest getting it when they stock up in June. But if like me you did not own ruby-woo you can get it.

I will be out and about this weekend so I will try to take a few pictures of me with it on and I may also play around with a few different lip liners to see what other shades/colours I can produce to give me the look that suits me!

What are your thoughts on Riri-Woo? Do you have it and are you pleased with your purchase? Leave your comments below and I'll chat to you in my next post!
