RiRi Hearts MAC Fall Collection (October 3, 2013)

[BeautynBullets]

So let me tell you about a story about a gremlin makeup thief named my daughter. I met gremlin thief for lunch yesterday and brought all the Riri stuff to rub it in her face that she should have listened to me and let me order her something..yes the very stuff she said she didn't want when I asked her REPEATEDLY what she wanted. I should have known by now that she would want everything being the RiRi stan that she is. Anyway, she gets her hands on Ririwoo, puts it on in the car, and it's love at first sight! She is just posing like crazy in the sun visor mirror, taking selfies for instagram with MY lipstick fronting like she went thru the hellish launch waiting 4 hours just to get on the mac page, calling every store screaming for any Riri Lipstick! I said I can try to find you one "no no mom it's ok but it sure is pretty I just love it but don't worry about it" She's so in love with her lips, that she forget to check our popeyes order and I didn't get my fries nor bisquit ! that's a whole nother day and story. So she packs all my makeup and food back in the bag we part ways. I call my bloomingdales and they have 1 RiRiwoo left.. ok so I ordered it for her. I tell her in the AM that I ordered her one, and what does she send me, a picture of MY RIRIWOO in her hand!! She said it slipped out of the bag and she was soooooo sorry and that she'll pay for the new one I ordered. I am so salty at this point but I am lmao! She is a slick one! Had the nerve to wear it into work today and everyone loved it *eye roll* I'm trying to get her instagram pic to post it here so we can ALL shame and throw rocks at her..but I don't know how to get instagram pics.

Moral of the story: HIDE YO MAC!

ROFL Hide yo MAC!!! I had my laugh for the morning!!!

I think it looks nice on you. i love how the majority has "thrown something on top" to make it work as well. Shows we are using our collections than just buying stuff, right? right?? lol

I agree!! TTT is gorg. But there are enough dupes out there. Wish I had a back up of ririboy tho I'm so scared to use it. It's in my special box. Lol. It gets pulled out once every pink moon

Im sooo sad I cxld my backordered RRB just cuz I was being impatient and not too crazy about it at the time. Plus I really thought every item was going to return for each collection and the launch would get bigger and better... Apparently Fall was the climax and I can keep kicking myself for an eternity for skipping it.. lol I finally had time to prep my lips n try TTT..It really is a gorgeous color! Currently trying to talk myself out of wanting to BU because yes it IS dupeable and Im just the biggest sucker for packaging. I cant really complain too much about the application..just takes work as everyone has said.

I'm so in love with diamonds... and I don't like CCb's.

It's gorgeous but I skipped it too Pretty because I don't use the ones that I already have

Awwwww a "special box!" What a great (and completely cute and makeup addict-like) idea! I have a BU box. I have a "new products to try" box. But now I MUST have a Special Box too.... Thanks for the idea girl! *runs to find a box*

 

[Medgal07]

I believe there's talk in the Divine Night thread that Exclusive Event (the nude) is a dupe for Nude. Dead on if you pair it with Stone lip pencil.

That's exactly what my local MUA said about EE, as did Liba I think, so I preordered it.

I did too. For some reason cream products in the pans make me slightly nervous still. Like, if I don't use them quickly enough, they'll dry out. Since they seem so exposed. To this day I'm REALLY picky about cream blushes, CCB's, anything like that (in a pan with a flip top lid). I DID go coo-coo for those Casual Color Lip & Cheek products! Probably because I felt better about the screw-top jar. (Hope those buggers make a comeback!) I know it's an unfounded concern, but it's still one that affects what things I'll hoard! LOL

I get your concern Pixie. I think it requires attention to cleanliness, which you already do---clean hands and brushes blah, blah blah. I got every one of those lip & cheek pots too, and all of Chanel's recent creme blushes, which I love and have already hit pan on one of them. I don't reach for the CCBs because I dislike them, I just have too damn much STUFF. In stead of shopping my stash as often as I should I get distracted looking around for the next best new thing. Sick...but I love it!

So I finally wore TTT and was honestly expecting it to be troublesome from all the horror stories/reviews I've seen. I was surprised and pleased when glided pretty smoothly on my lips and although it was slightly patchy on some parts I couldn't be any happier with it.

Also, I whipped the lipstick out in public and my sister in law and brother both laughed, thinking it was a vibrator. I should have known.

I thought I would have big trouble as well, but like you said it just glided on my lips and I just had one patch.

Paired it with Hodgepodge lip pencil. Then threw Fashion Punch on top to warm it up.

Gorgeous!!!!

[MakeupForMommy]

Sooo..... i went so crazy for this collection and haven't touched anything except my TTT liner and Diamonds CCB. I swatched my Best friends BGGG and i feel like it looks terrible on me so i haven't touched mine but i'm just hoarding at the moment. I don't like glossy red lips so i got RRW LG for no apparent reason. I actually don't wear red that much so the RRW LL was also extra. i had RRW from the first release and had to get on from this collection just because of packaging. i really need help. *le sigh* i should have saved my money for Divine Night or Punk Couture Collections. i need to find some self control. help anyone? lol

Yeah, I'm pretty OCD when it comes to cleanliness, but it's the lack of air tight-ness that makes me worried about CCB's and MAC's cream blushes. For some reason that container does not seem like one for cream products. I know it sounds loopy, but I can't get past that thought!

I have been avoiding that Chanel thread because of those darn blushes... and now it finds me anyways! LOL If I could only grab 1 color, which one would you recommend!? Are you still using the Cream Blush Under Foundation method?

I know EXACTLY how you feel about buying when you should be using the TON of stuff you've barely touched (or in my case some things that have NEVER been touched!) But to accomplish THAT, I would probably have to stay off Specktra completely! My stash has easily DOUBLED since I've been here. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, as some of my Specktra enabled purchases have become my most loved products. So it's a double edged sword! I'd have to stay away to slow my buying, but I think of all the lovely products I wouldn't have if I did! The Makeup Addict's Vicious Cycle!! HeeHee
