Pucker Up Wednesday: MAC Cult of Cherry in Rich & Ripe

Holy smokes! I haven't done one of these summer. My sincerest apologies.

But up for review is Rich n Ripe from MAC's Cult of Cherry collection. I know,I know...Cult of Cherry is old business but I wasn't even going to touch this collection had Macy's not tempt me with a $10 gift card. I hate when they send those shopping cards and the fact that I work right near a Macy's does not help me at all. But on the plus side- I got me this lipgloss for $5.

SWEET!!

Rich & Ripe is a mid-tone pinkish red with multi-dimensional pearlized pigments. I absolutely LOVE this color. It's more pinkish then red on me and I must say I'm super satisfied with that. I haven't quite gotten over my fear of red lips (though I do own two red lip products: Drop Dead Red by Too Faced LOVE and MAC's Avarice from the Originals collection). It's deep juicy pink (living up to the "Rich & Ripe" title) with beautiful sparkle.

Now I normally am anti-sparkle BUT this sparkle is not obnoxious at all..SOOO not 3rd grade glitter lip gloss.

WHEW!

Its an extremely pretty color. While this isn't as "dark" as the other colors in the CoC collection,I'm quite happy because although its the trend for fall...it's still a bit early for me to rock the vamp lips. I'm thinking late October, early November.

Overall: A+

and guess what??? because I love the juicy pinkness of this color, I'm making it

That's right! A makeup bag must have. This is the perfect pink for my two toned lips.
