RiriWoo lipstick

If you’ve been paying attention to the makeup world, you already know about the release of MAC RiRi Woo Lipstick. There was an extreme amount of anticipation for this limited edition which was designed by Pop Superstar Rihanna.  I have to admit that I got caught up in the hype as well. It was only available online 5/2/13.

It took me about an hour but I was finally able to place two separate orders to get my two tubes of lipstick. (MAC only allowed you to order one at a time .) I ordered two for two reasons.  #1 If I really liked it, I wanted a backup. #2 I’m almost out of Ruby Woo (staple in my makeup bag) and needed a replacement.

 Below is my comparison of the two gorgeous red lipsticks

RubyWoo vs RiRiWoo

 You’ll notice that there’s a very subtle difference between them.  Riri Woo is a tad bit darker.  If you’re anything like me, the fact that they’re so close doesn’t really matter because I LOVE red lipstick. However, if you’re not that big on red lips, you’ll probably be okay not getting it when it’s relaunched next month.

Black Opal Heatwave lipstick

Black Opal Heatwave Lipstick closeHere’s a swatch on my hand with a flashBlack Opal Heatwave lipstick swatch with flashDSCF8463I really, really like this lipstick. I’m happy with both the color and the texture.  I couldn’t tell from just looking at it, but there’s a bit of shimmer but not enough to make it frosty.  It glides on really smooth and feels hydrating on my lips. I know I’ll have to get a full size soon.  Sending this free sample was a good idea from Black Opal.

Today is the last day of Black History Month so I decided to go all out with my make up and do a dramatic FOTD(Face of The Day) with colors that are usually associated with the continent of Africa and also Black History.  Here’s my Black, Red, Green, and Yellow look.

All but one of the shadows I used came from the Coastal Scents 42 Matte Palette that I love.  For my brow highlight, I used one of My Favorite 13 MAC Eyeshadows in Arena.

Other products I used for my eye look were:  MAC Girl/Boy Brow set, MAC Paint Pot in Moss, NYX Jumbo pencil in Milk, MAC Superfine Liquid liner in On the Hunt, MAC Graphblack eye liner, NYC False Lashes and Loreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara.

Above and below are pictures without the flash to give you a more realistic idea of what this FOTD really looks like.

For my face I used: Black Opal Foundation Stick in Truly Topaz (as a concealer for certain spots).  MAC Mineralize Loose Powder Foundation in Dark, Ruby Kisses All Over Glow Bronzing Cream in #01 as my cheek highlight, MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Comfort (limited edition) as bronzer, Cargo Laguna Blush on apples of my cheeks, and Cover Girl Queen Collection Bronzing Powder in Ebony Bronze as my cheek contour.

I have to admit, I’m loving this lip combo.  I acutally didn’t even use a red lipstick.  I used MAC Morange, which is a bold orange.  I paired it with Clinique Lip Liner in Tawny Tulip, and MAC Lipglass in Wonderwoman (limited edition)

.

If you look in the middle of my lips, you can still see a hint of orange.

What look are you wearing today?
