MAC The Matte Lip Collection (May 28/ June 4, 2015)

[Marsha Pomells]

I think Moxie and Rocker used to be permanent lipsticks back in the 90's. They should bring them back from the dead along with Flavour, Blue Eve, Martooni, and other lipsticks.   :eyelove: :eyelove: :thud: Gracias! I always forget about Up the Amp lipstick. :eyelove: Very nice! Men Love Mystery looks closer to Up The Amp. Still on my list though but this makes me want to check UTA due to the amplified creme finish. It looks berry toned in the swatch. I was expecting more lavender and less violet. :/ I missed out on RiRi Boy too. It was the only lipstick that I wanted from the Rihanna summer collection, but there was the waiting room mess and I didn't bother to order anything. At least I got RiRi Woo which is a nice red and the retro matte finish isn't harsh on vibrant colors.

No wonder I couldn't find a swatch of Blue Eve, that was going back to when I was a pre teen/teen. Definitely wasn't into MAC then

I find the Oxblood finish much pickier than Runway Hit on my lips. RH is warmer than Oxblood and a touch lighter, but it's definitely in the same family. I actually prefer RH on me, since the yellower undertones cancel out my red lips and bring out the green in my eyes, but I would agree that if you're in the NC or NW30-35 range, Oxblood is the way to go, color-wise. There will be those other nudes in this collection, though, and I bet one will satisfy the Oxblood people!

I'm actually closer to your shade, NC15-20, but for some reason I often have problems with peachy and such lipsticks. Maybe it's the color of my lips - a few MUAs have said that they are pigmented, I dunno.

Yes, I was thinking it might be close to RRB!

*Has a moment playing with RRB over LJ.* - Nice! Tones down the neon vibe JL has on me.

I somehow managed to miss the whole summer collection... I managed to get 3 lippies and Diamonds from the fall collection and I picked up Pleasurebomb from the nearest CCO. RiRi Woo has got to be my favourite red, it's such a sexy and powerful shade.

I have RiRi Woo in all the packaging (it was always the last to sell out during the waiting room crap), RRB x2 and 1 Heaux I snatched from a restock. Also have one each of Pleasurebomb and Bad Girl RiRi. Most of my RiRi lipsticks are down to stubs because of how much I use them. Kudos to those who scored these lipsticks at their CCOs! My CCO still has so many RiRi bronzers and palettes along with Heirloom gift sets, Maleficent, Marilyn Monroe items and lots of perm blushes, paint pots and foundations among other things.

Last time I went to the CCO they had a few things from the Simpsons collections along with Heirloom Mix, A Novel Romance, Brook Shields, Osbournes and loads of permanant lipsticks and paint pots. I've only ever seen Pleasurbomb and the RiRi eyeshadow palette in the nearest CCO, I was hoping to find Diamonds so that I have a backup.

You found PB in a CCO in the UK, correct?

Which CCO? I'd love a BU of Pleasurebomb and maybe even the palette

I went to Bicester a couple of months ago and they had the palettes and the lipglosses from Simpsons and a few things from AA.

I too was thinking what lucky day that someone found PB in a CCO. Now seeing that it may have been across the pond.

Yeah in the UK, at the Cheshire Oaks store.

Thanks for sharing [@]Dolly Snow[/@] now I know which ones are coming home with me!!!

 

[Marsha Pomells]

I'm gonna enjoy this collection. Thanks Dolly

 

[beauteblogueur]

Thanks Dolly! This narrows my list down to just Matte Royal and Men Love Mystery, possibly Stone depending on how close it is to SiS.

Naturally Transformed is interesting, almost looks like it has an olive tinge to it.

NT looks stunning. AV IS that chocolate brown me and [@]kirstw91[/@] were dreaming about. Even Stone has piqued my interest... Tell a lie, quite a few have piqued my interest... Even the brown ones :eyelove:
