RiRi Hearts

Hey MAC collection, you 'da one!! I don't usually look at packaging and while I super duper love Rihanna, I always look at the product qualities. But based on the colors and the impressive matte finish as always from MAC, I am definitely buying the whole collection (friends in the US, I'm willing to buy this 2x its worth! haha please let me know)

Bronze and cool coral combine for a Powder Blush Duo in the unforgettable Hibiscus Kiss, while Retro Matte Lipsticks in RiRi Boy, Heaux and the instant classic RiRi Woo make a statement against sheer, shimmering skin highlighted with rose gold Lustre Drops. Exclusively online.

Availability: North America June 18, 2013 at www.maccosmetics.com at NOON EST, 1.800.588.0070; International June 2013 at www.maccosmetics.com, 1.800.588.0070. (source)

What really strikes me is the limited lipstick line, all with Retro Matte finishes. Riri Boy and Heaux are quite unique in a sense that Riri Boy is a matte version of Up The Amp and Heaux is a completely new color. Riri Woo is very similar to Ruby Woo, thus the name, but based on blog reviews I've researched, the former is quite darker and cooler in tone.

• RiRi Woo Matte cool red (Retro Matte)
• RiRi Boy Matte vivid lavender (Retro Matte)
• Heaux Matte berry (Retro Matte)

As I've said, I'm buying the whole range which is being launched in other countries as a Summer 2013 collection. How can I? =( Below is MAC's look for Rihanna where the focal point is really the lips.

I've heard that MAC is selling in the Diamonds World Tour so since Philippines is included in this, I have a chance right? It's so expensive though!

Nonetheless, Temperature Rising, which is also a Summer collection and which has been recently launched in the Philippines in almost all MAC stores, is average for me, but I like the concept of sultry shades.

Summer's most sensual scene is captured in sultry shades of Lipstick, Lipglass and Nail Lacquer shimmering with seductive allure and Powder Blush glowing in peach satin and berry pink frost. Eye Shadow Quads and Powerchrome Eye Pencil create sleek, smoky eyes - all in limited-edition soft-touch bronze packaging.(source)

What do you think? Nonetheless, I'm loving the All About Orange collection which I'll publish in a few ;)

Bobbi Brown Sea Pearls

“Delicate washes of color highlight and illuminate the skin.” –Bobbi Brown

Well, maybe it's time that we truly love the ocean. The new limited edition Sea Pearls Collection is inspired by the waters – one of Bobbi’s favorite sources of creativity. For her, from the gorgeous luster of sea pearls to the aqua green translucence of sea glass, it’s all about delicate washes of color that highlight and illuminate the skin.

I love the water, and good shimmers and pearly textures can truly capture the feel and look of that. My blog has been using a lot of these, and I love to share with you reviews of this new collection. But below are my favorites:

Eye Shadow Shimmer Brick

One of my favorite Bobbi Brown product is it's Shimmer Brich (which has 4 blocks) but this one features ten colors that I would love to have on my cheeks and eyes!!! A range of shimmery pastel tones from gold to pink to blue, this is the ultimate accessory for eyes. Use the Eye Shadow Brush to apply an individual shade  across the lower lids for a subtle iridescent look. Or, sweep the Eye Shadow Brush across all the shades in the palette to achieve an incandescent sheen. New, Limited Edition, SRP: Php 3,000.00

Shade: Sea Pearls

High Shimmer Lip Gloss Shades

I am a fan of this Bobbi line (I got the transparent one) and I will share very soon. Gorgeous and super sparkly, these three exciting summery shades provide a pop of color, shine and shimmer that perfectly complements the season’s shimmery pastel eye. New, Limited Edition, SRP: Php 1,300.00

Shades: Nectar, Pink Pearl, Pale Pink

Shimmer Nail Polish Shade

This must-have pink polish offers just the right amount of shimmer for a sophisticated yet playful look. I haven't tried Bobbi nails but this one looks very very nice! New, Limited Edition, SRP: 900.00

Shade: Pink Pearl

What's your top pick?
