Give AWAY!! Riri Woo for FREEEEEE - and tiny review

 Since I am lipstick obsessed I normally buy back ups for limited edition lipsticks. The reason being that I know that when I test it if I love it, by the time I get back around to the store it will be sold out. Then I'll cry and have to run around to 15 other stores or have my friends stalk their stores. So much unnecessary drama. The flip side of the coin is; sometimes I dislike the lipstick, but others might love it so I pop it in my kit or give it to a friend  Other times... I hate it, think it shouldn't live, and I return it. I try my best not to rerun LE items because most stores wont resell it. They have to toss it even if it's brand new and untouched.

So lucky you that stubbled upon this fairly new blog. I ordere 2 RIRI WOOS and I am not a fan

1- It is practically identical to Ruby Woo. The color isn't unique enough to be worth the struggle.
2-  The packaging isn't even special. The stick has her signature but it will fade as you use it. :(
3- OMG IT IS DRRRRYYY. When you put it on it pulls something horrible. My lips were preped and moisturized and it still was a pain.
4 - It's so dry that you have to dig into it to apply with a brush. I don't like putting reds straight on to my face because my skin is light and tends to stain. I use a lip brush for accuracy and it was just impossible to achieve more than a light stain.
5 - It dries you out so have that lip balm ready


I do love that once it is on the texture is velvety. Retro Matt is a great finish formula, but for some reason it was just bad on this particular product. The color is darling but again ruby woo is just very similar. It is very pigmented and has great color coverage though!

So here it goes! I'm using Rafflecopter since I've never given anything away so lets see how it goes. I also started reusing my Facebook so I added that to a way to earn points. Its pretty barren at the moment but keep a look out.

If this goes well I have tons of other LE BUs that need new loving homes so stay tuned,

PS: I went to the MAC Marilyn Seminar today so a post soon.

Just a quick update since I finally learned more about this. Yesterday I was invited to the Marilyn/Mac champagne launch party that will be held here in SF.

This Collection is a relaunch and exclusive to Macy's. However I was informed that it is exclusive to only 2 stores, both of which will be having events. The San Francisco store (mine YAY!!!) and the New York Store. You can buy your ticket in for 50$. The event includes free drinks, and a goodie bag. as well as a makeup lesson with the creator of the line. The cap out is 35 people per event and it will take place on Friday the 17th of May, you can pick 2pm or 6 pm, or on staurday I beleive the times are 12 and 4. I am not certian of the Saturday times since of course I picked the earlies possibe.

The launch will take place Wednesday the 15th from what I have been told so if you are near one of these stores get to it baby girls! more updates as they become available to me.

Also if you buy a ticket to the event, ask for Anthony he is a fantastic, knows all the details and can help you out.

PS: no holds and no pre orders/purchase. first come first serve

UPDATE: It looks like maybe just the event is exclusive. Re update at 3pm with the complete info.

REUPDATE: Okay just called the 6 closets Macy's to me. SOOOO SORRRRRYYYY.

ALL STORES will be carying it but only 2 stores are having the event- SF, NY-

As far as online 5/6 stores said in store only, one said not sure, but to check any way on tuesday at 12am because that's when it would launch if it was going to. This is on the Macy's website. He said also try the MAC pro site monday just in case.

Also, if you go to the even they will have stock that is event only so that you dont miss out. but they have said that before and then not held stock. So you probably want to go in on Wed anyway.
