It’s almost here…Rihanna and M ·A ·C strike a chord with an online-exclusive colour collection created by the global superstar. Bronze and cool coral combine for a Powder Blush Duo in the unforgettable Hibiscus Kiss, while Retro Matte Lipsticks in RiRi Boy, Heaux and the instant classic RiRi Woo make a statement against sheer, shimmering skin highlighted with rose gold Lustre Drops.
See below for my thoughts on the “gotta-haves” . . .
RiRi ♥ M ·A ·C SUMMER
LIPSTICK
RiRi Woo matte cool red (retro matte) RiRi Boy matte vivid lavender (retro matte) Heaux matte berry (retro matte) Suggested Retail Price $15.00 US/$18.00 CDN
MY THOUGHTS: If you missed the first go ’round of RiRi Woo, now’s your time to swoop down and cop this little gem. If you’re a fan of MAC Ruby Woo, you’ll like RiRi Woo. If you find Ruby Woo to be a little too matte (which, I do), you’ll love RiRi Woo. I find myself in somewhat of a pickle….while I prefer the redness of Ruby Woo, the texture of RiRi Woo is by far more wearable. Can’t decide? Buy both!
As for Heaux — BUY NOW/ WEAR LATER. This matter berry shade is perfect for fall. That’s not to say you can;t wear it now, but I’m totally reserving mine for September New York Fashion Week. As for RiRi Boy…ugh, I’ve never been a fan of purple lips. That’s just me. While it’s a gorgeous shade, editorially, I have a hard time working this one into real life. But…BUT, I know lots of gals who looove a good purple lip. So to ya’ll I say, rock on!
POWDER BLUSH DUO
Hibiscus Kiss cool coral blush and matte neutral bronze duo Suggested Retail Price $26.00 US/$30.00 CDN
MY THOUGHTS: This is a really beautiful duo. I often feel like warmth and color go hand in hand. And this smart, multitasking compact delivers.
LUSTRE DROP
Barbados Girl rose gold bronzer Suggested Retail Price $20.00 US/$24.00 CDN
MY THOUGHTS: Add this to your repertoire! The rose gold liquid bronzer is absolutely gorgeous on its own or blended with foundation.
