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.

My fave finish is matt, especially for red, but I love a bit of gloss.
ReplyDeleteI was dying to get a hold of this and im gutted I missed out, so fingers crossed :)
(also this is veryyyy lovely of you)
Yes matt is very pretty and just looks so classy. I truly wish i could love this product more.
DeleteI figured ebay/pp fees make it not worth to sell, and returning it just seems lik a waste. Good luck!
I hate it when I buy something that is so hyped up and then it just sucks. Always happens to me with mascaras.
ReplyDeleteIt drains your life force really. That happend to me with the bad gal mascara. Everyone loves it but it just didn't do it for me.
DeleteI was so excited about Lady Gaga's viva glam lipsitck, it took me forever to get my hands on it but once I did...I looked a little bit hookerish. I just cannot pull of the shade of pink that it is. So disappointing!
ReplyDeleteOh and my favourite finish is velvety matte, it looks so good!
Those creamy pinks are tuff to pull off. I am sure it looked great on you, you're so pretty. Yes it's ah huge bummer especially when you go out of your way, above and beyond to get it. The "all that for this?" felling.
DeleteMy favorite finish is a matte finish even though I completely agree about the drying aspect. I love how classic it looks.
ReplyDeleteI was really excited about Candy Yum Yum! Total flop :/ had to return it :(
I was excited for Après Chic Collection (it was my chance to buy Stero Rose). I love the frost finish.
