Again, I am late with this but I wanted to finally post the Holiday edition of the RiRi collection with MAC. I wasn’t impressed by the liners, shadows or other products from this collection so I decided to stick with the lipsticks and to try the polish out. I was in line opening day for this collection and was a little shocked to see an actual line when I got to my MAC store. Fortunately there were only like ten people ahead of me but Bad Girl RiRi sold out just before it was my turn to checkout, so I only bought Pleasure Bomb and another RiRi Woo for the pretty packaging. Before leaving I swatched Bad Girl RiRi on my hand and instantly fell in love and decided that I NEEDED it! But since it was sold out and I was tired of stalking websites for it I went ahead and ordered it from Evil-Bay at over double the price *angry glare* But anyway I’m glad I did because I love it! Check out swatches of everything I purchased below.

the polish is very pigmented, it was opaque with one coat.


Glow: The packaging is so pretty, I love the white paired with rose gold! I didn’t photograph myself wearing RiRi Woo because I posted it previously with it’s original release. Let’s jump into the two lipsticks. I’ll start with Pleasure Bomb which is the only color I initially thought I wanted. Pleasure Bomb is a matte fuschia/rose shade, it’s a bit more muted in color than I expected it to be. I definitely like it but it doesn’t necessarily wow me. My favorite is Bad Girl RiRi which surprised me. After swatching the other nude from Rihanna’s Fall collection it made me a bit skeptical about trying this one. I’m so glad I gave it a chance because it’s completely different. What I love most about it is how the color gives off a pinkish/mauve on my skintone. I’ve seen many comparison pics of it and it’s crazy how it looks so different on everyone. I’ve been searching for a brown girl friendly nude lipstick for awhile and this is perfection! I almost hate that I couldn’t have bought a backup of it though.

Glare: I really have no gripes about any of these. The lipstick formulas are much better than those from her Fall release. I haven’t worn either of these outside of swatching them for photos so I can’t really give my opinion on the wear just yet.
Would I Recommend It? I would recommend MAC to stop making these limited ass edition collections that sell out in MINUTES! That’s what I would recommend lol. Seriously, it’s ridiculous. I’m tired of it, everyone else is tired of it but that’s how they keep the demand up and their evil little tactics work because we keep buying into them. So what else can I really say?
Where To Buy: If you didn’t get anything at this point from any of the RiRi collections then I suggest to just give it up because there is no hope left other than her boring Viva Glam collaboration which I will also be getting *cries*
