RiRi Woo vs Ruby Woo

RiRi Woo is a matte cool red lipstick with retro matte finish launched by MAC Cosmetics for musical recording artist Rihanna. RiRi Woo was influenced by the 

ever-so-popular Ruby Woo which happens to 

be Rihanna's favorite lipstick. 

Ruby Woo is a very matte vivid blue-red lipstick, the finish is similar but the retro matte is drier 

and texture is slightly different.

 Matte lipsticks don't have the same smooth, silky, creamy texture like in most of the lipsticks we normally buy. I found it is best when applied 

with a lip brush (MAC 318).

When applied to the lips you can 

barley notice the difference.

  When swatched side-by-side you can see one is a little darker than the other and the 

undertone is slightly different. 

If you didn't get a chance to grab RiRi Woo, don't beat yourself up about it. 

Ruby Woo is just as good if not better and its still my fav!

I was ready to hit the club (lol), 

so I toned it down blending it with brown shadows.

Tarte for TRUE BLOOD LipSurgence

This was my first Tarte LipSurgence purchase and

 I must say this stuff rocks! It has a minty smell and taste

 that makes me want to keep reapplying it! I love how it instantly moisturizes your lips and gives a voluptuous look. Rawr! :)

This Lip tint is a bit pricey, $24 at Sephora.com

so if you're looking for a great alternative I would go 

with the Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm from Revlon they're

 about $8.99 and you can find them at Target or any drug store.

Model in a Bottle: Duo Lip Conditioner and Lipstick Sealer

This was one of the many products I purchased at

 this years Makeup Show LA. 

I visited the Model in a Bottle booth and this was one 

of the products I was dying to try. 

Why you ask? I'll give you an example...

Have you ever had an issue when you apply a red lipstick and towards the middle of the day it starts to bleed out of your lip line?!

 With this product you won't look like a hot mess! 

THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS!

I tried it and survived the entire day without any bleeding or

 cracks seeping through my lip line.

I actually skipped the conditioning step the first time

 I tried it but it conditions the lips well. 

(don't miss this step! its what makes your lips look healthy and smooth)

After applying my lip liner and lipstick, I applied the sealer. I felt a tiny sting after applying the sealer to the lining of my lips,

 but then again I do have sensitive skin. :-/

 I was fine after that one second and no irritation occurred.

I recommend this product :)
