Introducing the MAC Divine Night Holiday Collection for 2013! 
I only picked up 3 items because I was not completely impressed by most of the products.
Not that many pictures but there is a video below!

RIRI Hearts MAC Fall Collection

This has got to be the hardest collection I have ever had to get my hands on. I'm not even going to get into the waiting room drama since I know everyone had probably the same bad experience. After making a few phone calls I was able to place an order over the phone. I settled on 7 items:

Lipsticks: Talk that Talk, Nude and Who's that Chick



Nude

Who's that chick

Talk that talk




Bronzer/blush duo: Hibiscus kiss
Let me honest: I bought this for the packaging. However, after swatching it, I think it can be a very useful item. The bronzer portion is light on my skin so I'm thinking a light, natural highlight rather than bronzer. The blush is a pretty pink against my skin tone so it can work as a light, natural pink blush.





Blush: Bad Girl Gone Good
This is a lovely color. More of a  "I'm wearing blush but not really" kind of blush on my skin tone which is what I want for fall.





Prolongwear lip pencil: Talk that Talk
This pencil does NOT move! I have to scrub my wrist to get this off. I love the color. More of a deep plum with red/ruby undertones.





Cream Color Base: Diamonds
I love the way this glistens in the sun. I did use a makeup brush to swatch but for application to the face, fingers are best. It's beautiful and I think a must have for everyone!

MAC RiRi Hearts MAC Summer: RiRi Boy & Heaux

(L-R: RiRi Boy & Heaux)

This review has been a long time coming but you guys know the long story right? If not, let me explain (I love Kevin Hart! lol)

So MAC released the RiRi Hearts MAC summer collection online with a waiting room (just like the first time) and I was in that room for 2 hours waiting. I went to the grocery store for an hour, came back and was still in the waiting room! So I ended up having my purchases on backorder. I'll admit that I was upset, but glad I could get the lipsticks I wanted. 

Both lipsticks arrived with a white substance on them. I assumed this was the wax from the machine used to make lipsticks, so I used 91% alcohol (just in case) with a Q-Tip to remove the white wax-like substance. 

Now on to the lipsticks.

First up is RiRi Boy. 

RiRi Boy Lipstick

I must say that it is a pretty color. It is a retro matte formula and described as a "vivid lavender." I would agree with this description. It's a very bright matte. The formula feels like velvet on the lips, but I will say make sure you use lip balm a few minutes before you apply or it will tug on you lips super hard!

Bring on that Heaux!

Heaux Lipstick

It's a fun way to play with words for this "matte berry" color as MAC describes it. This went on very smooth with no tugging on the lips. Heaux, like RiRi Woo and Riri Boy is also of a retro matte formulation. Heaux pulls more red that berry on me. This is a very sultry color and is my fav of this collection.


Heaux Lipstick

Both Riri Boy and Heaux are sold out on online (http://www.maccosmetics.com/ ) and I don't know if there will be a restock. I hope so though...
