Well, first off, there's a difference between being dry and being drying. These are dry, but not drying. They're a dryer matte formula than the regular mattes, which means they will wear longer. But it also means they will accent any dryness or flakes on your lips, so it's essential that you fully prep your lips prior to wearing them. Ruby Woo is the only remaining retro matte. Try it out and see if it's a formula you'll like. I personally LOVE the formula, but the majority of people hate it.

You scared me a little, but I'm still interested.

Thank you, erin!

I'm getting more excited!

I wonder if it goes on sale at midnight like Pink Friday did???

Just did a chat with MAC online to get a feel of RiRi woo and was told it's a "Retro matte" and "velvety matte and slightly more ultraviolet undertones" than Ruby woo

May 4? I would check this thread everyday. :shock: You scared me a little, but I'm still interested. Thank you, erin!

Thank you!! I was beginning to think that nobody was gonna reply to me. I know it's probably annoying to have to tell people all the info when they decide to chime in but I'm on this now- I've never owned a retro matte- I think Riri Woo would be a good one to start out with

No problem! I marked my calendar when erin said 4th. I didn't want you to miss the launch.
I don't own any retro matte lipstick either.

Thank you, erin!

Well if that's the case we might not bother and just get Ruby Woo instead. Ultraviolet has too short a wavelenght for human eye to register, so we wouldn't notice the difference.

yeah I was wondering what that meant. LOL

That's just crazy. I don't remember MAC was like that years ago.
I missed Marilyn online release because of it. They were all gone when I woke up.

I think I'm going to wait on RiRi woo and get it in the special packaging. I'd rather have that. Although I will start stalking Friday night. Lol

lol I'm going to wait to I plan on getting the lipliner and ten gloss too so I want all three in the special packaging. I might get something from the summer release tho but have to see what they will be first.

YEEESSS!!! I am so happy to hear this.

I was actually going to ask if anybody had anymore confirmation on whether this lipstick was the tradional matte or the rare RETRO matte. Welp, this seals the deal for me just based on the finish alone.

For the first time I will actually be stalking the website come Friday!

This is why I love your posts Buick. I think I am leaning to the skipping category. Doesn't sound like enough of a difference from Ruby Woo to justify the hype for me. The quads seem dupeable too. This sucks, because usually I am all over the Fall collections.

macgirl006 · Apr 30, 2013

Can't wait! Going to her concert on Saturday but will most likely be on the net Friday night. Not taking any chances lol.

I haven't paid much attention to the quads but I have a feeling I won't be buying much from this collab. Nothing I saw so far was particularly memorable (granted, I didn't see that much) and I'm not a fan of the rose gold packaging. Fingerprint central!

Nylon posted this about ten minutes ago saying the lipstick was available "as of five minutes ago" but I don't see it on the website...

The 2nd? I need to stalk then. Surprisingly, I don't already own Ruby Woo in my collection of MAC lipsticks. No particular reason. Just haven't gotten around to getting it. My daughter loves Ruby Woo, so I'm definitely getting her RiRi Woo.

I think it's safe to say that Nylon magazine doesn't know what it's talking about.

Quote (from link): Rihanna created a “ri ri ri remix” of her recently released MAC lipstick, ‘Ruby Woo.’

If you say so, Nylon mag
