RiRi Hearts MAC Fall Collection (October 3, 2013)

[smileyt06]

It doesn't bother me. It's not like I wear the lipstick tube or quad on my shirt or something. I'm all about the product. That bronze quad will be mine. And the majority of the collection will fly off the shelves because of the hype of MAC plus Rihanna alone.

I agree with you 100 percent!

Actually this was from a relatively recent high fashion designer's collection. MAC didn't make the packaging. The designer - or artists associated with them - painted the cases. The look went along with the cutting edge but romantic clothing. I just can't remember the designer's name. And what's inherently wrong with old fashioned? Old fashioned can be a very good look. 1930s fashion can be extraordinarily elegant, with beautifully draping bias cut satins (that's 80 years ago - seems like old fashion to me). And the classic Chanel jacket dates, as best as i can tell, from the early 1950s (that's 60 years ago - seems like old fashion to me). Both high fashion and street fashion frequently borrow from past fashion. Some people wearing these styles may not know their history, but they're still wearing stuff that owes its cut or shape or color to something "old fashioned" - that current high fashion peplum - common in the 1940s, for example. I am not crazy about the style the cases are painted because it's too foofy and sweetsie-girly for me. I posted the photo to show people that if they really don't want to be seen with that ugly RiRi packaging, they can customize it to suit themselves.

I agree

I didn't know lol and I never meant to be rude or judgmental in a bad way. I just meant to say that the drawings/design on the products look antique in a way. Maybe it all being crowded little details idk how to describe it. To me thats how I see it lol

 

[lizzylu23]

OK, got it. The hand painted MAC cases were from Meadham-Kirchhoff Spring 2012. Here are some of the looks they made for their show. Not exactly old-fashioned :wink:

I agree, the looks not old fashioned at all !!

I do agree that it does have an antique feel!

 

[do8666]

No thanks...

Done with RiRi anything at this point.

I feel the same way.

 

[do8666]

The rose gold packing looks okay... but the writing all over it? It looks like someones child got a hold of the makeup and drew all over it! This whole collection is definitely a skip!

 

[bvenice1920]

Im like eww to the packaging but I really want TTT and Nude. So I guess I will deal with it. I wish I could get a version without that R

Yea they will be in the drawer lol not in my lipstick holder lol. Heck I may even depot them I feel silly for harping on it but ugh its so ugly lol

 

[Ana A]

I couldn't care less about the packaging, I never do...the only thing that bothers me is that we have to pay extra for it (starving student here lol). The only think I cant wait for from this collection is TTT and I am now beginning to wonder how does it compare to the darkest lippie from the retromatte collection in Sept...mmm

Hey, "Lust for Life" was a 1956 movie about the life of Vincent Van Gogh, starring Kirk Douglas! How often will a V van G infused LG come around again? :haha:

I have to hand it to you re: original LFL reference. I considered campaigning for a The Ghost and Mrs. Muir collection, but figured I would be in the minority that would be interested Ha!

Not a fan of the fashion but I was raised with Laura Ashley, RL and LoL prints so I adore myself some flowery things. And 1,000% agree on old fashioned not being an inherently bad thing. In fact I adore the old fashioned, but then I come home from work and watch Fawlty Towers. ETA those wigs are making me internally recoil, no no..Capp Street fashion!

 

[Rene916]

I bought 3 of the hibiscus kiss blush and am so disappointed, too light for me don't even show. Mad I wasted my money Wong be buying this collection

 

[Richelle83]

I think I am >< close to skipping the whole collection not because of the packaging issue but have just lost interest. More than likely though once it pops up online I bet I'll get a TTT though

 

[KaysWays]

I agree. It is a contamination to my stash. So not cute!!!

That's what I was thinking. It may throw off the look in my drawers lol

I hope no one takes this the wrong way, but is there anyone who actually likes this packaging, not just can tolerate it? I completely understand that everyone has different tastes. I'm just starting to wonder how this will be received in stores.

I don't love it but I don't hate it. It reminds me of play makeup like geared more towards her younger fans. Too busy but it's tacky like her so I can understand it lol.

I love me some rose gold my favorite out of the golds that's why I think mac could of did so much better with this collection. it could of been so elegant and glamorous but the big a$$ R messed it up now when I look at it I think teenish

I love rose gold too. Mac could have done so much better. The R is her signature thing so it was like inevitable but they could have finessed it not just slapped it on top of everything. I don't see Rihanna as elegant nor glamorous.

Christ on a bike! lol awww I missed u bucik I just read this and was like wait ive read that somewhere else a wile ago...then I looked over and realized it was you lol! ima get both of those lippies I think lol I kno right? im still grabbing a few items... I don't love it, I don't not like it. I have rearranged my entire list tho! I think its just a very busy design, but I like the R, they shoulda just stuck with that only. That is after all Rihannas logo

I think my list has remained the same though. Even with the packaging I want those goodies!!!! 10/3 can't get here soon enough to me.

I get it. I think it's seeing things over and over and waiting to get it in your hands. I tried to forget about this collection and now I'm not even sure what I want anymore. Definitely a lipstick or two, though. I can count out all of the face products.

 

[Boasorte]

I keep changing my mind about this collection. Now I think I want the brushes, Riri woo, and talk that talk. Maybe TTT X2 and the liner.

 

[Lalalish]

I'm only buying the brown eyeshadow quad...if I get anything. I'm not all about packaging, more product, but I still have a chip from the last release! I'm not over that yet!
