Let's cast our
minds back to the 20th June 2013... What were you doing? I remember it well as
from about 11:40am I began to hit the refresh button on the MAC home page in
(obsessive?) anticipation of Rihanna's second RiRi Hearts Mac launch. I had
already snared RiRi Woo back in May (which was a happy accident! totaaaally
unaware of the coveted hype!) and now my eyes were set firmly on RiRi Boy.
I knew I needed to
be prepared.
Let’s picture the
scene.
Me surrounded with
the laptop, Iphone and Ipad.
Tapping the
refresh key on each device, willing the collection to go live so I could order
and relax!
DISCLAIMER
I say I was
'tapping' the refresh key and that's true so long as the term 'tapping' covers
repeatedly and frantically press press PRESSING the enter key at a rate that
mirrored my pounding heart beat!!! BANG BANG BANG!
Girls feel the
urgency here and imagine the crazy look in my eyes! All I was missing was
a whistle and some back up
(Think Friends
when Monica goes wedding dress shopping... yes!)
BUT... twas worth
it though as I got her! And ain't she beautiful?
(I also got the
bronze and blush duo in Hibiscus Kiss but that was really in the interest of
free delivery!)
Despite having
this lipstick since June, I've only just started wearing it. The RiRi embossed
bullet looks so good I couldn't bring myself to even swatch it and spoil it!
And then there's the putting off using it because you haven't taken the photos
yet... BEAUTY BLOGGER PROBLEMS THOUGH!
RiRi Boy is
described as a 'matte vivid lavender' with a retro matte finish. They certainly
weren't lying when they said VIVID mind. The colour is intense and I loved
wearing it. For me it's a true purple, it's bright but deep and because it's a
matte finish it's entirely opaque.
Looking at
comparison swatches RiRi Boy is Matte version of Mac's Up The Amp.
Purple lips and
dark nails... Oh and a berry coloured beanie hat. This can only mean TAAAARAAAA
SUMMER!
I 'do' the colder
months better. I find them less hassle and love feeling cosy.
(Give me a week
before I'm on here whinging and whining asking for a bit sunshine again!)
FICKLE.
Throw in a mohair cardie and some buckled ankle boots and we've got autumn sussed!
Do we like? Is RiRi Boy on your list come the 3rd of October??? I don't know
what's on mine yet but I can already imagine any logic or self control going
ooot the window. In fact I'm still waiting on it coming back!
I reply to all
comments and you can catch me on twitter and instagram too (links on home
page)
See you over there
:)
Love and kisses
