MAC RiRi Woo Swatches & Review

 I am ashamed to admit I got sucked into the bandwagon of the Rihanna MAC collection which started off with RiRi's signature lipstick with her name engraved on the bullet. Other than that the packaging is the standard MAC packaging.

I believe it has been based around the Ruby Woo lipstick from MAC which I haven't tried but have heard on the grapevine it is very similar. I do own Russian Red which is the same 'Matte' formula and I do love! Russian Red is a darker shade of red but not a whole lot different compared to RiRi Woo.

There was only a limited number going on sale on Friday 3rd May so I made sure I was ready and waiting on the site at the 11am launch (sad I know) and apparently they sold out in 3 hours which is epic! Don't worry if you missed out though, they are bringing more back in June! 

The formula is very drying as with the majority of Matte lipsticks so make sure you prep well beforehand but as with most MAC lipsticks they staying power is amazing.

I do honestly believe this would be a good shade on everyone it is a classic glamour red (think Marilyn Monroe.)  And the blue undertones are perfect for making them teeth look pearly white!

I've included a swatch of RiRi Woo next to Russian Red as well as me wearing the RiRi Woo in natural daylight to give you the true colour.

I am actually looking forward to seeing what Rihanna's next items in the collection will be! 

Will you be purchasing the lipstick when it comes back in June? What are you opinions on it?
