Lately I’ve been feeling uninspired by the lipsticks in MAC’s collections, but if these are the berry-red that’s coming across in promotional photos I’ll definitely jump on them. I’ve learned to never trust MAC’s descriptions of their own shades, haha.
Love the lipstick! It looks like the perfect red color.
I wasn’t impressed with all the swatches I’ve seen on Instagram, think this will be a pass for me.
I hope MAC picks a new color to obsess over next year. I’m so sick of red right now
It’s probably going to be all pink next year. lol
I think you are right because I have seen a lot of pink lips from recent fashion shows . And if memory serves, YSL’s spring beauty collection is curated with pink shadows and the sort.
*chuckles* I know! But it’s so hard to look away! lol!
Gorgeous. I may have to give it a look when it hits stores. 🙂
And here’s another one… How many collections this year have they NOT extended their PRO discount too? You know the one… the PRO discount that you have to PAY a yearly fee for!
is this an online exclusive for US? (aside from the Time Square location)
They didn’t list any store dates, just an online date and one for Times Square.
I ordered it online today & I’m in Canada
Also it was $19, not $20 as listed above
That’s all?
I already bought these this morning. I like Mac’s matte formula so I know I’ll wear the lipstick. I saw a swatch and the lipglass looked really pretty and glittery, so I grabbed it, too. I really loved the red Rihanna lipglass, and this seemed a similar vibe.
I ordered it too! I also love the MAC mattes
I passed up on Rihanna’s VG reds but caved in on this; if this is a red-berry, I’ll be a happy camper!
I don’t think you missed much with the Rihanna red lipstick, it’s not very long wearing since it’s a frost, doesn’t hold up to eating and drinking.
Could have been sparkly red nail varnish and loose glitter in red and gold, also frost purple eyeshadoews and ultra black liquid liner with sparkle. Just a few suggestions to mac people, such a catchy name and they had me with the boot image! Such dissapointment!!
I actually thought this will be a good-sized collection, but no, too bad! Such a waste for such a catchy name, as you said!
Even the Miss Piggy collection had more to it and it was literally thrown together at the last minute. lol
Am I a total loser for not knowing who Kinky Boots is? Name rings a bell, but that’s it. *starts googling*
Don’t feel bad, I have no clue either…
You and me both! lol!
There’s a movie and a Broadway play about a shoe company owner and transvestite who come together to save the company from closing. It’s very charming.
Kinky Boots was a great movie and now an award winning Broadway play. About a work boot/shoe factory that must reinvent itself and turns to making boots for female impersonators.
If these were glittery I’d grab them in a second. But another matte red? I have like 8 already :/
I was hoping for a much more glittery, shimmery, combo. I mean…look at the boots! Oh well. There’s always the Rihanna Viva Glam red lipsick/lipglass.
I’m actually going to be in Times Square tomorrow with my mom (girls weekend! Whoo!) but I don’t think I’ll be picking this up. How many times can MAC do a red lipstick? If it had special packaging, maybe, but just regular red liptsick? Nah…
that’s how I feel. I love a red lipstick but how many times can MAC push out red in such a short time frame from each other, it’s like their going for some kinda record & laughing while they take our $. If it was in some beautiful special packaging it might be worth it but it’s just boring, lets not try again packaging.
I like these! I’ll be curious to see swatches.
I love red lipsticks. Will have to wait until January to see if it comes here.
Will you review these, Christine?
Okay, now, gimme Hedwig.
would there be only one angry inch in the tube? MMMMM?
KINKY BOOTS!
Burgundy. Please, God, tell me I have not inspired something burgundy. Red. Red. *Red*. *Red*, Charlie boy. *Red*! Is the color of sex! Burgundy is the color of hot water bottles! Red is the color of sex and fear and danger and signs that say, Do. Not. Enter. All my favorite things in life.
Erin – LOVE IT! Loved Kinky Boots! My fav song from the soundtrack is “In These Shoes”.
MAC really needs to calm down with all those limited editions.. I’m working up a minor anxiety trying to keep up with all the releases and attempting to buy all the items before they all sell out…
how…underwhelming?
the logo made me think “sparkle.glitter.loud”
I hope it’s going to be a range of new colours!! Love MAC’s lipstick formula!
I’m so tempted to get this lipstick since I don’t think I own any neutral reds.
from the few swatches I could find, I like this! I’m not normally brave enough for red but since a MAC artist/associate had me try on VG Rihanna (which I then HAD to have) I’ve been feeling a bold lip. I like the darker red.
At first glance i thought it was a collaboration between mac
and kellogg’s cornflakes…wouldn’t surprise me though with all
their collections 😉
I called two MAC stores in my area. Both said they will not be getting it in. This is an online only release.
It is an online only release – the only store is Times Square (listed above under “Availability”) 🙂
Thanks for pointing that out
