MAC x Rihanna Collection Discussion (2013)

Mad Scientists Unite!!

My fave dark red combos are rubywoo x diva = gives me a duller deeper red that still managed to be bright
another is to line my lips and fill in the outer corners with rebel, then i put ruby woo in the middle and blend. I get a very nice darkened red with a bright pop of color in the middle.

I was reorganizing my lipsticks last night (yeah, now TWO boxes for violet, lavender, purple, plum, fuchsia, berry, and maroon lip products), and i pulled out Musky Amethyst - "semi-opaque berry plum with ruby red shimmer" (Semi-Precious coll.). It looks like it almost fills the bill, although it does have shimmer, which i don't mind. It isn't quite black, but it's a VERY DARK red with a hint of blue. Christine of Temptalia said it was sheer, but it's pretty solid on me.

We don't have regular summer where i live, so i wear dark lips whenever i want. Now Musky Amethyst is now back on my radar...

And i'm still working on what stuff to get to blend my own blackened red with a hint of blue lip color.
-- I have some fairly true red lipsticks i can... sacrifice...
-- I have periwinkle blue Butch Lip Tar.
-- I still need a true green - Powerplant OCC Lip Tar is in my shopping cart, but it has shimmer, which i normally like, but not for this experiment...
-- And i need a black - debating whether to get Tarred OCC Lip Tar or MAC Black Lip Mix...

I b2m'd for So Chaud 2 days ago lol. Absolutely LOVE it! Also got Girl About Town. I've slept on so many MAC lipsticks! Time to play catch up!

That's awesome! GAT is a HG pink for me! So happy you are getting some great lippies!

Looks great on you, Serenityy

Is it me or is it kinda pink on me?

YAY YAY YAY....I am getting more and more excited for RRW!!!

Okay guys, I am eating my words. I got my Riri Woo this afternoon and I absolutely adore it! I love the fact that it is bluer than Ruby Woo!

I agree that it is way more comfortable than Ruby Woo. I tried taking pictures of the comparison between Riri and Ruby, but honestly, in pictures you really can't tell like Richelle said but in real life, they look pretty different on me. That goes to show that I judged this lippie too soon. I'm really impressed!

I agree! I b2m'd today for So Chaud per Erine's suggestion and I instantly fell in love. I wore it out of the store and couldn't stop looking in the mirror. Why I slept on this lippie, I'll never know.

Have to try these combos....thank you, Dellbie!

I usually pair Brick lip pencil with Ruby Woo and Russian Red, so I'll see how that looks with Riri.

Everybody looks gorgeous with Riri Woo! Why does red lipstick make everybody else look hot and sexy and feminine, but I just look like the creepy clown from It.

Not fair, lol.

Thursday needs to hurry up for us on the west coast!

Nope. I don't believe it. :nope:

Is a red like RRW to much for the summertime? I tend to feel like it's a fall/winter color. I know there aren't official rules, but y'all know what I mean.
