RiRi Loves M.A.C. ❤ 'RiRi Boy' and 'Heaux' Your perfect fall lip colors!

The perfect purple shade and the perfect berry shade. I'm obsessed. I was originally only going to buy Heaux, but I'm glad I went for RiRi Boy too.

Both are matte, and feel lightweight on. I've heard talk of them being really drying, but I haven't had that problem at all.

The best part is, both look good with my current hair color. (A mix of strawberry blond with pink.) A few of my lipsticks have looked a little off since I dyed my hair, but these are just perfect.

Beautiful, universally flattering shades! I can't wait for the rest of the collection release in October!

These are sold out, but you may be able to find them on Ebay. Worth it. 

Happy shopping. 

Paul & Joe Lipstick! ❤

I've been wanting something (anything...) Paul & Joe for a long, long time.

A couple of days ago I finally went and bought some lipstick.

I hadn't ever really seen the makeup in person anywhere until we were strolling through Shimoda Mall one day and I saw a Paul & Joe display in a makeup store. I was stoked.

The sales woman was super sweet and helpful, even though we spoke pretty much none of the other's language. (We spoke the international language of 'I ❤ makeup') She let me try on the lipstick I picked out to make sure I liked it. And then. And THEN.

She said, "KAWAII!"

Sold. She said I was kawaii.

I didn't know, but the lipsticks sell as refills and the actual package or case for the refills are sold separately.

For both it was about $30.00.

She also gave me a few really cute samples. One of a primer and one of a powder.

So cute right? I love the packaging. This is shade 204.

The color is kind of sheer. It is from their range of natural finish lipsticks. Love the way it feels. Weightless.

Not sure why this looks so pink here. It looks a lot more like the color below.

Sheer orangey-peach.

So there you have it! New Paul & Joe.

Happy shopping! ❤

MAC Archie's Girls Swatches!

I finally got my hands on this collection! Better late than never, right? Thank you so much to A for my wonderful surprise when I arrived in Houston this week!

I am a HUGE Archie Comics fan. #TeamBettyBitches

Unfortunately, these are no longer in MAC stores. If you're in love, Ebay is your best bet.

This is most of the Betty Collection.

Over NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base

Opulash Optiumum Black Mascara

This brush is huge. Really, really huge. Not my favorite at all. Hard to reach the bottom of lashes and you have to be very careful applying as not to get smudges.

Powder Blush in Cream Soda

Another favorite! This is such a subtle, beautiful color. 

Pearlmatte Face Powder in Flatter Me

The name of this powder sounded odd to me. A pearlmatte? I have yet to really give this a good use and review. I hate to mess up those pretty hearts!

Brushes! 

Top to Bottom: 167SE, 168SE, 242SE, 226SE, 266SE

...and last but not least, this cute button! I love me an awesome button. 

So happy to be able to try these out. Such cute packaging too! 

MAC, you brought my childhood icons to life and in good use. Thank you.
