My Favorite Summer Lipsticks 2013

Hey My Loves,

It was a very tough decision picking out my fave lipsticks to present to you, but it had to be done. I wanted to bring you lipsticks that can still be found, so that means no limited editions and discontinued! I personally hate when I see something someone suggest and I can't get my hands on it. Tell me that it doesn't frustrate you also?! Anyway, here is the video for live swatches ::


Swatches will in order of the video! Enjoy Loves!

RiRi Hearts MAC

Hey Loves,

I wanted to share with you some of the stuff I purchased from the RiRi Hearts MAC collection. I was also able to find some great dupes for you guys, whether it's out of your budget, you missed out, or you prefer a different finish. I wasn't able to get the luster drops and decided last minute that I wanted the bronzer and blush duo. If you missed out on those as well they will be re-release in the RiRi Hearts MAC Fall collection. For now, here is my Haul!

RiRi Woo, RiRi Boy, & Heaux
This particular collection did not in special packaging, we will see it in the fall and winter collection, just the good ol' MAC bullets. RiRi Woo is a blue-based red; similar to Ruby Woo but a tad darker, RiRi Boy is a beautiful lavender lipstick compared to Up The Amp, and Heaux is a bold berry red. All lippies are in the retro matte formula, I can't wait for the MAC Retro Matte Lipstick Collection, which I love! Well on to the swatches!

(Top to Bottom) RiRi Woo, RiRi Boy, and Heaux
When I received these lippies in the mail, I automatically had colors that I wanted to compare. I wanted to see how close they were and if I had any possible dupes already in my collection. If you have been looking for dupes also for what ever reason look no more!

RiRi Woo


RiRi Boy
Revlon Berry Haute
Covergirl Divine
As you can tell that Revlon's Berry Haute is closer that Covergirl's Divine but both so very close!

Heaux
Rimmel Kate 09

Covergirl Euphoria
First off let me apologize for the low light swatch for Heaux.

Rimmel Kate 09 has made it to a favorites video and to discover that it's a dupe to heaux really excited me, especially since mattes are my favorite finishes! Clearly from the pictures Euphoria is a little closer to Heaux but some really good alternatives!

I want to thank you for reading my blog and also want to share with you my haul video. In the video you can see live and side-by-side swatches of the lipsticks and dupes!


xoxo, Jen!
