This is a new, limited edition lipstick created in collaboration with Dita Von Teese. It will release on December 9th at all MAC locations and exclusively online at maccosmetics.com (North America) and December 2015 at international locations. It comes in a glossy black tube with Von Teese written in shiny red, and the same embososed on the lipstick itself. The texture was lightly creamy, smooth, and velvety (like a lot of the newer MAC matte lipsticks have been) that glided on well with rich, opaque coverage that wore for over six hours. The formula was a smidgen drying on me. It had a vanilla scent but no discernible taste.

I loooooove a matte orangey-red! I love it! I want it!
Yayyy!
Omfrickngosh! I dislike when companies do that. Why in the Dita image it looked hella glossy and way darker than the product swatch. Ugh. Anyways, I’ll get it because I love Dita plus I dont believe I have a tomato red in my stash believe it or not.
Hahaha, that was what I noticed. I was so confused. “Why glossy if it’s just the lipstick…”
The promo photo looks to be from the photo shoot for her Erotique perfume, so it’s very likely that it’s not even the MAC lipstick that’s she’s wearing there.
Nope. Her actual day to day signature colour is Ruby Woo, so this warm of a red is puzzling for sure!
About the darker thing, she is very fair, so it obviously look lighter on Christine and even lighter on darker skintones. IDK about the finish, though, lol. Maybe they added clear gloss on it. False advertising there.
Yeah I was disappointed when the MAC x Lorde lipstick was nothing like the ad image. I’m really glad I saw Christine’s swatch/review because it stopped me from buying a lipstick I’d have to return!
The eyes Christine are overpowering this lipstick! looking smoking hot lady! 😀
I’m going to try to get this lipstick. So, glad they decided to release it all over!
Thanks, Nicole!
I need this sooo bad i need it
Glad you liked it, Nat!
My red lipstick tastes lean toward darker Oxblood red and blue toned red, but this shade is gorgeous. Looks like a winner and apropos for the holiday season.
It is a nice shade of red — very bright!
This looks so different than the promotional images that MAC had released. Kinda bummed that it doesn’t look like the color she was wearing in the promo, but this is a beautiful matte tomato color and I will probably pick it up anyway.
I thought it strange that they made the promo image glossy when this was matte.
Such a beautiful shade! I just cannot get enough of reds!
Do you think you’ll get one, Emmy?
Oh yes definitely! I’m sold! <3
If I have True Love’s Kiss should I still grab this one? I like TLK but I found the Amplified formula was a little weak on it.
My all-time fave is Lady Danger but I would but something similar. I have the old, uber-dry matte formula.
This is a bit brighter/more opaque! Redder than Lady Danger, but you might find it is close enough.
Oh no! I love Dita but I look awful in warm reds.
Oh, bummer! 🙁
The formula sounds perfect! And I love the finish.
Yay!
And every dupe is an A, too, for those who can’t get it! This is FINE, on you, and suitable for many. Big winner, MAC.
Reds are pretty easy to do, lol!
I already love Siren in Scarlet and find that formula to be much more comforting than MAC mattes, so it’s an easy pass for me!
There ya go!
Okay – Dita has said before that her signature color is MAC’s ‘Ruby Woo’. Can you compare this shade to Ruby Woo?
Ruby Woo is a very blue-based red, very matte, and darker.
That’s what I thought – THANK YOU!
(With my coloring – this orangey red would look terrible on me. I’ll stick to Ruby Woo.)
That is a gorgeous shade, though it looks more satin than matte to me. It looks absolutely nothing like the promo image, as others have pointed out. Still, I’m loving the tomato red color, and I’m glad it’s mroe uncommon. If I can snag one of these, I will.
It’s not super, super matte for sure.
I’m not sure about the color, but I DO remember I wanted both Rita and Annabella, and I love Dita von Teese!!
Do you think you’ll get it, Daniel?
I do! If it reaches my country 🙁
I figured Dita would’ve came out with a blue based red! Not a huge fan of the shade but I do love the packaging.
That’s what I thought, too!
Gahhh I want it but I HATE MAC exclusives! They’re so stressful and time consuming. I just don’t have the patience to refresh and deal with site crashes anymore. Damn you MAC for not releasing this everywhere!!
I hope you can get it! 🙁
Initially I thought it was just another red lipstick, especially since everyone seems to have one these days. However I am more curious since hearing its a possible dupe for kvd gold blooded. I refuse to buy that expensive set for just one shade.This is so much more doable.
The colors are very similar – the obvious difference is there are bits of sparkle in Gold Blooded.
Oh no – deal breaker for me – boo to matte and orangey-red! I was so excited for this release too. The lipstick looked like a satin in the promos. It also looked deeper and cooler. Oh well… Next? 🙂
Aww!
This lip color looks absolutely GORGEOUS! In fact, your entire look here is utterly fabulous, and everything in it just jibes perfectly together! Can hardly wait to hear more about the eyeshadow look you did here…?
(Obviously, I need THIS lipstick! ?)
Haha! Enjoy it, Nancy!
This is the first swatch I’ve seen where it look like a tomato red instead of a pink red.
It definitely seemed warm-toned to me! I remember being like, “huh?” when swatching, because I thought they’d put out a blue-based red.
I can’t wait to get this (UK).
Woohoo!!
OH MAN! Too Bright for my skin tone. Plus, the orange undertone dosen’t go well on me. Would have loved to add it to my lipstick collection. ?
Aww 🙁
Very pretty. Not much like the add, but no matter, I want this lipstick. I have loads of reds, but no tomatoe one.
It is a pretty shade!
Little bit to much towards the orangey side for me. 🙁
Oh, that sucks 🙁
I love your eye makeup!!
Thank you, Deborah!
Love that lipsticks – it is sensational and I really LOVE your eye makeup. So beautiful. Are you going to review this set by CT?
Hopefully!
This is too bright for me, will overpower my face. I prefer my reds to be browner and darker, but glad this got a good score for those who like the color and/or fans of Dita
Totally understand 🙂 It is a bright one!
Uh.. this does not remotely resemble promo photo. Warm tomato red one of my lipstick kryptonites. Ssssaddddddd~ 🙁
Haha! I was like glossy red… matte lipstick, what?
This is pretty but not unique at all. :/
I hear ya!
It’s calling to me, I’m so disappointed that I love it. I was hoping to save the $18 but this is right up my alley, I’m sure I’ll get it.
Hope you love it, Kat 🙂
I hope I am able to get this color its really pretty, online only exclusives are such a pain especially if the product is of great quality.
I have my fingers & toes crossed for ya, Racquel!
Oh nooo I love Dita but I already have Opera and I didn’t like how warm it was on me. C’mon MAC, just let Dita do a cool toned red like what she’s wearing in the promo photos :/
Awww!
I like blue based reds more. I have Nars Anabella, which is very nice & looks great swatched, but not as flattering on me. So I’m passing & sticking to my fave of all time; Ruby woo, which is fab with a gloss. Thanks for your pics, it helped me realised I didn’t need it.
I was definitely surprised that this was a warm red (and on purpose)!
Another Red to add to my collection…U can never go wrong with a Red Lippie!
Enjoy it, Kiki!
I have a theory. This Von Teese is the tease (pun intended) for a future Viva Glam Dita?! That would make sense! While I dwouks think Dita wears this type of tomato red as well, both the ad and her style, especially her fetish and burlesque looks would in general be much more of a dark red… Even without the ad I’d expect a darker red for Dita. Coult it be?
I think this is just a collab for her book promo!
Very stunning, striking color but not for me. I’m very interested in her book though and am striking out on my own to find my own Glam more and more so while I was crossing my fingers it would not be so warm, or less matte than I wanted, it’s just not to my taste for my own wear and so not destined to join the company of my exclusive little secret stash of my most flattering red shades.
Hopefully the book will be good instead 🙂
I ordered it today! So excited to get it in the mail (whenever it does, as Portland apparently has gotten so many packages they literally do not have enough UPS/FedEx/USPS trucks to load them in so they’re going a little slow, which is fine with me as long as those poor workers are being paid overtime!)
Yayyy!!
How does this compare to Mac’s Lady Danger? Not as orangey?

I’m not sure, sorry!
