Oh the things I do for limited edition makeup collections! On Monday, at 12pm EST, the RiRi Hearts MAC Fall 2013 Collection released online. Needless to say, the website was flooded, but there was a new “online waiting room” put in place where you the page keeps refreshing until it is your turn to purchase the items you want. I waited for an hour and a half, and I was able to score the two items I wanted, so I was happy. Talk That Talk Lipstick is a retro matte lipstick formula, which part of the reason I wanted it so much. I am obsessed with matte lipstick. Also, check out that packaging. It is GORGEOUS. And shiny. And feminine.
The packaging on the entire RiRi Hearts MAC Fall 2013 Collection is to-die-for. It’s all a rose-gold metallic color with pink writing. It’s incredibly gorgeous, and definitely half the reason I wanted the items!
Talk That Talk is a retro-matte raisin-plum shade. I have been wearing matte lipsticks basically 97% of the time lately. I cannot get enough of how long they last on your lips and I love the matte finish.
This lipstick is very dry because it has a flat, matte finish. Make sure your lips are properly exfoliated and hydrated or this will sink into fine lines and chapped areas. I prepped my lips for this lipstick and I found that it still gathered in some regions of my lips. I love the finish and shade so much that I am willing to overlook it.
Just for reference, I tend to fall in between an NC20-30 complexion wise in MAC products, depending on the time of year. I’m definitely more on the pale side right now since I haven’t spent much time outdoors or in the sun and the season has changed.
The RiRi Hearts MAC Fall 2013 Collection is very limited edition and is available at MAC counters nationwide. Talk That Talk Lipstick retails for $16.00 USD. The items sold out quickly online, but they did release this collection at MAC counters nationwide today, October 3rd, 2013, so you may be able to still find the products!
