~MAC Riri Woo~ Swatches and Dupes under $6!!......

Hey Everyone!!

The inna'nets have no chill....MAC RiriWoo release has shaken up the beauty blogsphere/vlogsphere and emotions are high.

Don't I sound like the intro to an Oprah special? haha....

But seriously, the beauty girls are just all over the place with Ms. RiriWoo. Most are not pleased for whatever reason or another. The main reason is that RiriWoo is so close to MAC Ruby Woo in color that folks are feeling they got duped. Perhaps. *shrugs*

I don't own Ruby Woo for one reason. The drugstore dupes of that lipstick are endless. I rather spend $6 over $15. And I can mattify any red lipstick with a little translucent powder. So, your favorite cousin is going to serve you under $6 options to Riri Woo....Get into it....

 MAC Riri Woo

I actually love the texture of the lipstick. I don't own anything this matte.

 Swatch of Riri Woo.

 Now, from my personal collection, I pulled Rimmel #111 Kiss of Life and  E.L.F.  Rich Red for comparison against Riri Woo.....

 Riri Woo is #1, Rimmel #111 Kiss of Life is #2 and E.L.F. Rich Red is #3 in the photo above.

The closest in the color to Riri Woo is Rich Red and  #111 Kiss of Life is closer in texture and slightly darker. Either way....both are under $6 where ever E.L.F and Rimmel are sold in your part of the woods.

And you won't have to wait for hours for your order to go through.:)

 Then I thought about the some the reds in Nicka K lipstick collection. I buy my Nicka K lipstick at my local beauty supply for $1.

Ironically, the Nicka K shade is called Ruby Red.

Riri Woo is #1 and Ruby Red is #2 in the above photo. Ruby Red is the same shade but glossy.

Sooooo....what are your thoughts on Riri Woo and the controversy behind the shade? I'm personally happy I have it. I love red lipstick and now I have a true matte in my collection. Its all good over here!! However there some very good, inexpensive options of this lipstick right around the corner from you or over these here internets. Enjoy!

~MAC Lavender Whip~ Swatches and $1 Dupe?.......

Hey Everyone!!

After four lonnngggg years, I finally have my hands on MAC Lavender Whip.

I missed out Lavender Whip when it came out in 2009 and since then,  I have scoured my CCO hoping it would show up there, coveted dupes, searching for this color!!

I know that it isn't the original Lavender Whip( the shade and texture is slightly different from the original) , but this one will do.:)

 I've worn her...a couple of times since I got her. LOL!

 Here is a swatch....

I wore it with out any gloss on top or liners. Its the perfect lavender shade.:)

Now, I did compare Lavender Whip to two other shades in my stash, Nicki K Lavender Tint and Revlon Lip Butter in Gumdrop.

Nicka K Lavender Tint is #1, MAC Lavender Whip is #2 and Revlon Gumdrop is #3.

Lavender Tint is a bit darker but is in the same lavender family and has the same texture as Lavender Whip. Gumdrop is lighter than both colors. So in my OPINION, Nicka K Lavender Tint is a close dupe of MAC Lavender Whip and its was only $1 at my local BSS. You can purchase Nicka K HERE for $1.49.

So what do you think? Did you buy Lavender Whip? Let me know in the comments!

~Get The Look!~ Kerry Washington's Met Ball 2013 Makeup.....

Hey Everyone!!!

I was too excited to find out that the legendary Ms. Kerry Washington wore tarte cosmetics last night at the 2013 Met Ball! Her look was created by celebrity makeup artist Carola Gonzales at The Magnet Agency for tarte.  Five coats of lights, camera, lashes mascara, Amazonian clay waterproof liner, Glamazon pure performance lipstick and Amazonian clay blush were among some my FAVORITE tarte products used on her beat! Check out the deets!:

inspiration: “Kerry represents classic beauty with an edge and the Vera Wang dress she chose is classic with a punk twist. The  stunning violets and blacks in the dress inspired me to create Kerry’s bold, smoky eye.”

complexion:

• To begin, Carola prepped Kerry’s skin with tarte’s clean slate™ poreless 12-hr perfecting primer
• Then she applied tarte’s Amazonian clay waterproof concealer in tan followed by tarte’s maracuja miracle 12-hour foundation in deep to even out Kerry’s complexion

cheeks:

• For the perfect pop of rosy color, Carola dusted tarte’s Amazonian clay 12-hour blush in natural beauty on the apples of her cheeks

eyes:

• To create a dramatic smoky eye, Carola used the purple and silver shadows from tarte’s beauty & the box Amazonian clay eyeshadow quad in envoke the smoke
• Then she lined Kerry’s top and bottom lashlines with Aqualillies for tarte Amazonian clay waterproof liner in black to give her a punk edge
• She finished by lining the lower inner rims with tarte’s lights, camera, lashes™ waterproof inner rim liner (out in July)
• For extra definition she applied five coats of tarte’s lights, camera, lashes™ 4-in-1 mascara

lips:

• To complete her look, she swiped tarte’s glamazon™ pure performance 12-hour lipstick in pure over her lips

Lippie of the day....Black Radiance Plum Orchid...

Hey everyone!!!

My Walmart finally updated their black radiance section and the new lipsticks finally landed in my area. Ive been looking for these colors for so long that I put the new color names in my phone so I can check the display for them!!

Check out Plum Orchid. It's a beautiful dark purple. I compared it to some the dark vampy purples I own and I have nothing like it. I always love when I get a color I don't own.
