I was able to grab a few lippies while at the concert last night. Here I am with RiRiWoo on...




I had Ruby Woo with me as well, and I can say the only difference I noticed was RiRi Woo is a tad bit more dark

I'm surprised, and I'm disappointed too . In my mind, I was expecting Riri Woo to be this magical unicorn that was going to be a super blue-based red that would look good on a ton of different skintones (especially for WOC). But, I can't even see a color difference between Ruby Woo and Riri Woo. So.....I basically just bought a Ruby Woo with Rihanna's signature on it. Boo.
im tryin to figure out why everyone is surprised or acting surprised that Ruby Woo is pretty much identical to RiWoo?

dang girl i wish i had your lips!!  i like how riri woo looks on everyone. i feel tho that the darker parts of my lips still show through so now i have to get myself the lipliner.  I think ill just get the liner that Lora A. used in her video. i think it was cherry liner??
Yup cherry liner. I'm wearing it with RURi Woo here

Agreed! It's much more smooth than Ruby Woo!

I'm not trying to be a negative nancy, but riri woo seems like a waste of $ to me. I already own ruby woo and based on the swatches I've seen , I could've saved the $ :/.. I am bummed out and was expecting something different but oh well... I guess Rihanna's signature is worth the 16.35 ..

Whew! finally caught up with all the posts in this thread! I think i'm out of breath.

Still not getting RiRi Woo, but it's so great to see so many lovely ladies rockin' it!

As for storage, i use those unattractive, but practical and inexpensive, Steri-lite 6 qt. boxes (a tad over $2US each). Each can hold not quite 120 lipsticks and glosses.
http://www.sterilite.com/SelectProduct.html?id=442&picture=1&tab=Specifications&ProductCategory=179&section=1

The tops are shaped so they stack nicely, and the sides are transparent so i can see what's inside. Not elegant, but OK until i set up a vanity area.

I have three (soon to be four)
One i call "Basic" holds lip conditioners, primers, and exfoliators, as well as White, Pearl, SIlver, Gold, Nude (neutral & pinky), Pink, and Red lip products.
The "Warm" box holds Cool Brown (such as Chestnut & Icon), Warm Brown (many coppery), Coral (mostly pinky), Warm Nude, Green, and Blue lip products - still plenty of room in that box...
And a third holds Violet, Purple, Plum, Berry, and Fuchsia lip products, but it's about to explode, so i picked up a spare today.

Oh, and i generally leave my lipsticks and glosses in their boxes, too.

I don't own ruby woo so I'm happy I can kill two birds with one stone. I was expecting it to be a little darker and deeper blue based but still looks pretty. I wasn't overly pumped about riri woo to begin with

that's a bummer I don't have ruby woo so I still want to get riri woo with her signature. I'll grab it in a few weeks for my bday!
Yup cherry liner. I'm wearing it with RURi Woo here

Ladies ...you need to get the ice tray...Perfect for MAC lipstick...
.
Yup the ice cube trays are AWESOME. I have three, but only two are filled because the drawers in my makeup desk "vanity" are a smidge too narrow to fit more than two. I have almost 130 MAC lipsticks so storing them is becoming a bit of a problem LOL.

Here's how mine are situated. I have reds, purples, corals, oranges, and pinks. MLBBs and Nude lipsticks are in the top drawer of my acrylic beauty box thing (2nd pic).
The top container in the drawer was from The Container Store and has my other high end lipsticks and some of my drugstore lippies. I cut the ends off the ice cube trays for mine so I could fit that third tray in there.








To keep on topic, I'm loving how RiRi Woo is looking on everybody! Thanks Erine for the beautiful swatch. I'm actually excited it's a little darker than Ruby Woo, justifies the purchase for me since I'm impartial to Rihanna.

Here's my ririwoo! I thought I'd show you girls my lipstick holder too

It can hold the lipsticks facing downwards showing the names but I prefer it upright.

I'm underwhelmed as well. I have Ruby Woo and see nothing wrong with the formula in my opinion even if Riri Woo is smoother. It's one of my top go-to red lipsticks. I thought I would see a significant difference, but it's really not that big that someone will be able to distinguish RW from RRW with the naked eye (especially if you wear a liner like cherry). I still can't wait to get it tomorrow, but not as excited. If you don't have RW already, then glad you like RRW :)

The swatches I see so far, I'm loving though! You ladies are looking great! And I can't wait to try out this new retro-matte formula either!
