MAC Rihanna: Who's That Chick Lipstick

I went into MAC looking for "something different" so I was lucky to find the last one of these... I didn't think they had any around anymore and I didn't expect to like it as much as I do!  I never got it before because I didn't think any of the Rihanna lippies would look good on me. I do have Ruby Woo somewhere but haven't worn it in I can't even remember how long.  I think this looks fine on me, but I'm always open to feedback!

This one is probably the shortest-wearing MAC lipstick I have though.. I don't mind since reapplying is easy; the color doesn't bleed much or stain, and for me it's unique.  The coverage is great, and I love how much gold it has in it, that makes it more wearable for me than a true orange.  That being said, once it does fade, the orange is first to go, some shimmer stays longer.

I don't think I can live without the rose gold eyeliner coming up with the Rihanna Holiday collection!

LOTD and a Micro-Mini MAC Haul!

I was going for a mermaidy type colour combo, because when I got this eyeshadow, I thought, ohhh, such a beautiful sea green!

Please forgive the eyeliner, it is a skill I have yet to master, and I went over it so many times I had to give up. 








I know picking up a couple of things doesn't classify as a haul, but here is what I got:


And I am VERY happy with my two items!!!  Why I slowed down on buying MAC lipsticks, I don't know... just everyone online seemed to be on a MAC overload, so I wanted to see what else was out there.  I love their cremes, and amplified cremes= total love!

I *finally* got Impassioned, here is the swatch:


And not least of all, I bought this out of admiration for Temptalia, the very first beauty blog I ever read:




I swatched these next to Inglot purely as a colour reference:


Hope everyone is enjoying their day!

Update: Candy Yum Yum and Broken Camera

Soo..... I got this MAC package today which for some reason, I forgot I even ordered.  I LOVE Candy Yum Yum!!!  It is so neon pink! 

Unfortunately, my camera is fried.  If we were back in the days of film, I would have tossed at least a dozen rolls trying to capture the awesomeness that is this lipstick. 

My husband just got me this camera right before our son was born, and he is just now 14 months, so I dont know what exactly the problem is.  I tired it in every lighting scenario, in every setting.  I couldn' t even photograph the swatch. 

That being said, I may have to take a little hiatus until I can figure out the problem or buy a new camera. 

I also wanted to share that I got some Quite Cute pins, even though the web said a $75 purchase was required, which I did not buy that much, but I got them anyway!  Really cool!  MAC also reimbursed my shipping fee because I ordered at 9 a.m. but I didn't get my code until 1 p.m., and Candy Yum Yum was already sold out by then, no lie. 

Anyway, here are my crappy photos... sorry!!
