RiRi Viva Glam 2014

[Beautybuyer]

All you ladies look lovely! That's one thing Riri did right with these lippies! They work on so many different complexions

Wow.  This is probably the brightest red lipstick I own.  I have it (and the lipglass) on at work right now but I think it might be a bit too much for the workplace, at least for me.  I would totally rock this on a random weekend because why the heck not and of course "special occasions".  If I were to wear this to work again I'd def tone it down with a liner.  

it looks freaking awesome on you.

Almost a year?  I'm only going on a month and I can't take it anymore.  Why did you wait so long?

In high school I severely over plucked my brows for years. They were so skinny. They grew out uneven and some spots just took forever to grow back! I used to just pluck the bottom wear I knew would be plucked anyway. Now my brows are what I think are nice and full lol. I barely have to fill at all anymore

I know it gross. My mac counter doesn't seem that strict about putting their hands and stuff all over everything. I'm good friends with the manager and sometimes When I go in there's brand new testers. He always tells me to just swatch them with my fingers! And that if someone puts them on their face that's their fault and their gross. -_- I actually read a study done on testers at the mall on a Saturday. They found the testers to be 100% contaminated with nasty germs. Like fecal matter saying people don't even wash their hands after the bathroom and they touch all up on the testers! Sick Even after testing on my hands I Sanitize my arm lol

You have me tempted to give it a year and see what happens with mine. They're sparse from threading and I'm tired of filing them in all the time. Maybe I'll hold out another month, see what happens.

I rarely use testers on my own lips. They say that you can't really get an accurate idea of the color of a lipstick from just putting it on your hand but that's what I do. If it doesn't work out when I get the brand new one home, I'll find a way to make it work or just return it. Them testers tho? No bueno.

I only swatch on my hand or wrist. I've never ever even let anyone put any makeup on me in a store.

Here is a quick swatch of my RiRi VG and Port Red. I can hardly see a difference IRL either. I love, love, love the bullet! Wish the other RiRi items had similar packaging - like in the white/holiday would have been perfection. Anyway, I'm glad to support VG but wish the color was not so close to one I already have. If you always wanted Po!rt Red, this one is a perfect match.

Thank you very much

...They are very close indeed.

This looks great on you!

 

[Icecaramellatte]

I wonder how that lipglass would look over Pleasure Bomb? It seems, from what I see from the swatches, that it has a tinge of pink in it. I feel like I am about to go out into this freezing cold and just buy both the l/s and l/g.

Oh this sounds nice. I think I will try it.

 

[ladyd12]

My order came earlier! I can't wait to try them out!

 

[SuperMegs]

you guys are giving me the heebie jeebies with all these tester horror stories @.@

 

[BitterSweet1016]

I got pics to share! I did some comparison swatches with similar lipsticks I have. I'll post my review tomorrow.

Mac Viva Glam Riri vs OCC Role Play

Mac Viva Glam Riri vs Mac Riri Woo

Oh thank you for the swatches I was thinking of getting Role Play but since they look so similar I don't have to now .....and can spend money on other lip tars haha

The ladies at my local MAC must be really good. They always coat (and I mean COAT) the tester in alcohol or whatever they use to sanitize and wipe it down really well so I've never been worried about that.

It can take a long time for them to come back. I swear mine grew back first everywhere BUT where I wanted them to. The top and bottom but middle took forever!! I heard putting Vaseline helps speed it up but I read that after my process lol

Same here! I swatch my wrist and it's fairly accurate. Otherwise I'll buy and return

My lippie came! I'm way angry at UPS though, they once again left my parcel in the unlocked lobby of my building with nary a buzz to me! Seriously, the buzzer number is in my second address line as "Buzzer # 1348" I don't even have that on my regular mail and Canada Post seems to be able to buzz me without issue, FedEx Express has had no problem with this buzzer in the address and uses it. WTH UPS! My lovely neighbour brought it up to me, that was very nice of her! Thankfully it wasn't sitting too long I just hadn't checked the tracking for 20 minutes or so as I was resting my back after doing some cleaning.

I mean who do I even complain to about that, MAC? UPS? They'd probably say have it sent to the UPSstore, but since the UPS store closest to me will cost 2 transit fares to get there and back I might as well just upgrade shipping if free express isn't offered as it costs about the same

!! ...and there's another complaint: hey, TTC I want timed transfers!!

I haven't tried out the lippie yet, the packaging is just gorgeous!

 

[GoldenGirl]

it looks freaking awesome on you.

Thank you so much! :bouquet:
