RiRi Hearts MAC Summer Collection (June 18, 2013)

[Lipstickdiva420]

That's not true at all. I saw it all over IG and facebook from regular people who aren't crazy mac fans even men

Yup, even my boyfriend send me the story about it lol.

Which i'd be interested to even see if she had regular check ups anyways...lot of people (not everyone) either don't have insurance or only go to the doctor when there is something they cannot fix on their own, and i bet you anything this will be the case. I also thought about that too if turn to find out she does not have it or she contracted it and has had it before this, if they would in return sue her for defamation. I would hope that she is not lying tho bc her name is out there and really she has told the world she has herpes so...yeah...

Can't believe this collection is being pushed back because this woman claims she got herpes from the lipstick smfh. I bet she had it before she tried the lipstick. I just knew some BS was going to go down with a rihanna collection.

If the herpes thing is the reason, here's what I don't get...IF she got it from the lipstick, that could have happened with any shade . It's not as if Mac added the herpes virus to the formula of the lipstick.

LMBO!! This made me laugh out loud and almost choke on my Pop Tart!

 

[Jennifae]

In all honesty I doubt she will get a dime out of mac. She would need a damn good lawyer and some strong evidence to do so.. It feels like we've been waiting forever for this collection and now we have to wait even longer smh

I doubt she'll get a dime either. It's gonna be very hard to prove she got the herpes virus from the lipstick.

It's crazy that this law suit would affect the launch...I agree with denae78's (hilarious) comment about the lipstick formula... I'm still relieved a bit about the delay, but I had no idea nudes and metallics was relaunching!?

I agree that the MUA should've sanitized the lipstick, but I don't think the MUA is completely at fault here.  Do we know for sure that she did not sanitize the lipstick prior to testing it on the customer?  I mean, we've only heard one side of the story, right?  Let's say herpes heaux lady was telling the truth... I still think she should've insisted that the lipstick be sanitized first or just refuse to test it on her lips.  Just my 2 cents!

I agree, we've only heard one side of the story. It'd be interesting to know the MUA's take on this!

When it's all said and done she's still gonna have herpes and be broke... Trying to get a quick come up offa MAC! bwahahaha.. Let me be nice

 

[MaitaiFluff]

I did some snooping and I'm shocked that her full name is out there in the stories. I then googled that and she seems like a nice, intelligent lady. Also, she's appears to be in marketing. I personally can't imagine dealing with clients and having a news article out all over the internetz about how I got herpes from a lipstick.

I'm with you. I highly doubt that a law suit would affect the launch. After all, in the past quite a few collections were delayed - either in full or just partially - and no law suit was involved.

Thanks for that bit of info. Interesting that people immediately jumped to the conclusion that she is trashy. I don't think this lawsuit will go anywhere as it would be difficult to prove.

 

[shescoolie]

She really has no way of proving that she got it from that lipstick. That virus could have been lying dormant on her lips for years and her body just finally reacted. Besides, every MAC lipstic I've ever tried, I've cleaned, and cleaned, and went back and cleaned again. Sounds like someone tryin to get a come up. #recklesslyratchet

I may be a minority here but if indeed the herpes came from the lipstick that is the MUA's fault for not properly sanitizing a product to test on a customer...

If it really wasn't sanitized properly there is definitely some fault with the MUA, but I highly doubt she applied it to this woman without her permission, so the ultimate responsibility has to lie with the customer.

I see it as a personal responsibility issue. If I know someone hasn't sanitized a product, and I still allow them to apply it to me, I am choosing to take the risk of catching something, and by taking that risk it's then my fault if I do.

Even setting aside the issue of proving the herpes cam from the lipstick, it just doesn't seem like a suit that holds any weight:

"I knew she hadn't sanitized it, but I let her apply it to me.
I caught herpes and it's her fault because she didn't sanitize it."

"Well you knew she hadn't sanitized it, so why did you let her apply it?"

I'm just scrolling through my FB feed and the first article I see after FLOTUS giving a heckler a piece of her mind is Rihanna's lipstick gives woman herpes.

If course this isn't the first or 10th time I've seen it, its just funny it pops up today.

I think it depends on how it all went down. I haven't gone back to read the article, but I seem to recall the customer asking if the lipstick had been sanitized and she was told yes. If this is true and the MUA wasn't truthful (or had somehow done it improperly) then the company could be held liable for damages/illness. The customer has a reasonable expectation that the MUA is telling the truth. Again, I think they'd be hard-pressed to find that virus still on the lippie in question, but I'm not a lab tech.
