mac retro matte collection

When I say “Ruby Woo” chances are you already know what I’m talking about. Ruby Woo is legend - LEGEND, I TELL YA! - in the beauty world and I know many a fashionistas who swear by it. Heck, even Rihanna loves Ruby Woo so much so that she teamed up with the brand to release RiRi Woo (now a staple in my handbag).

With such a cult following for not only the color but the texture of the lipstick, M·A·C decided to create an entire collection of Retro Matte lipsticks in bold shades bound to catch your eye. There’s also the brand’s Pro Longwear Lip Pencils in new and vibrant colors.

swatches from left to right: All Fired Up, Relentlessly Red (not quite sure why it’s called a red since it’s more of a pink color to me; and yes it’s very similar to All Fired Up but All Fired Up is slightly pinker, less warm), Dangerous (my favorite!), Steady Going, Runway Hit, Flat Out Fabulous, Fixed on Drama (amazing for autumn!).

The collection is available online now and will be available at all M·A·C locations on September 12, 2013.
