I’m pretty late on getting this post up. I have so many posts drafted and this one somehow got lost in the mix.
Do y’all remember my last RiRi Hearts MAC post? I was crazy enough to go through the whole ‘waiting room’ experience and swore to never do it again. Believe it or not I stood my ground. Sometimes living in the middle of nowhere truly is a blessing in disguise. The MAC counter at my local(ish) Macy’s doesn’t usually get too crazy during new releases. RiRi was an exception of course. No worries. I was second in line. I got up super early, drove to the mall with my father, fueled up on a venti soy latte, and started my stalky business outside of Macy’s. As soon as the doors opened I ran to the MAC counter and while trying to catch my breath acted as if I just happened to be in the area. ‘Oh TODAY is the RiRi launch? Oh! I’ll take one of each lipstick I guess…’ I then stood back as the crowd of people flooded the counter. Not everyone left so happy. And if I hadn’t checked my bag before leaving I would have been one of those unhappy people as Talk That Talk wasn’t in my bag. Always check your bags before taking off! Especially during a big launch like this.
After reading reviews it seems quite a bit of people weren’t happy with the lipsticks. I personally found that a little prepping went a long way. I used a lip scrub beforehand and then applied a very thin layer of lip balm to my lips. Then I pat the lipsticks on gently and built up as needed. No issues at all! Talk That Talk did get a bit patchy after eating and drinking, but a little touch up fixed that. They’re gorgeous lipsticks and totally worth the little effort needed to perfect the look. I know that not everyone feels the same, but hey, everyone is different.
I can’t wait for the RiRi Hearts MAC Holiday Collection! Are you planning to get anything from the RiRi Hearts MAC Holiday Collection? Did you purchase anything from the Fall Collection? What are your thoughts?
i really like how riri woo looks on you!! dang girl! i thought i was going to like WTC more than nude but nude looks much nicer applied.
Thanks, Steph! RiRi Woo is definitely my favorite of the 4. And Nude really is a great nude!
I’m surprised I actually really like the Whos that chick one!

I was a little surprised myself. I saw it on a few other people and thought it was really pretty.
