MAC Viva Glam Rihanna

Every year, MAC releases new lipstick and gloss for charity. 100% of the proceeds to go men, women and children living with the AIDS (HIV Virus).

I try to support this worthy cause.

This year's launch is exciting.

Rihanna's signature is on the exterior paper box packaging as well as on the lipstick tube and glass lipglass tube.




























The lipstick packaging is BEAUTIFUL!
 I am usually not a sucker for this kind of thing, but I love this frosty tube!


I am not fully pleased with the finish of the lipstick. It is a frost. The wear time is about an hour for me alone.
I opted to add a MAC Lip Pencil as a base to increase the wear time. It helped increase the time to three hours. I was somewhat unhappy with the finish as it bled overtime, despite the use of the lip pencil.

I prefer to use a lip pencil, a matte lipstick and gently dab the frost lipstick on my pout. I achieved the best results doing this.

Did you purchase this?
Do you plan to support the campaign this year?

Lips Of The Day (LOTD) MAC Russian Red and Cult Of Cherry Lip Glass

Just a quick LOTD.
I was eager to try this combo.
Line - NK BROWN
Fill - MAC RUSSIAN RED (matte)
Gloss - MAC CULT OF CHERRY

A review an seperate swatch of CULT OF CHERRY is coming soon.

I love a bold red lip. 

How about you?
Are you ready for fall?

Affordable Acrylic 36 Lipstick Holder

I purchased three of these holders from AzarDisplays
They were reasonably priced at $6.80 each.
There are metal Hooks which allow the holders to attach them to a pegboard if you desire to do so.

2 Holders Side by Side

My holders are housed in a drawer at the moment. I have since stored them right side up. While I would like to see the names at a glance, I'm concerned that with warmer weather, the lipsticks might melt a little, risking the marring of the top of the lipsticks.

How do you store your lipsticks?
