MAC Lipstick Haul - Featuring my 1st Back to MAC

Hello Beauties! So I finally stopped being lazy and decided to depot a few of my single MAC eye shadows (mainly because I was running out of places to put them) and took the empty pans to MAC to get a lipstick. I had a really hard time trying to figure out which one I wanted, mainly because I wanted so many. If it's any secret I am obsessed with matte red lipstick, I have quite a few and my favorite is Russian Red from MAC. I've always heard of Ruby Woo and how gorgeous it is but how difficult it was to work with so I just always stayed away, but I finally caved and choose that for my 1st Back to MAC. I will say that's it is everything people say it is. Of course I could not just leave without one, I wanted a fall lipstick so I choose Rebel. The other two lipsticks Show Orchid and Neon Orange were purchased with my Fall Colour haul. I think that's enough rambling for now on to the pics........


From left to right: Rebel, Ruby Woo, Neon Orange, Show Orchid

Rebel - Satin finish, described as a Vivid pinkish-purple
I really like this color, on my lips it's a bright magenta color. I will be wearing this a lot this fall season.

Ruby Woo - Retro-matte finish. described as Vivid brighty coral-red
This is the best worst product that I own! It is so beautiful on the lips, once you get it on. This is the hardest lipstick I have ever worked with, it does not glide on smooth at all.

Neon Orange - Amplified finish, described as a Clean orange
I got this because I wanted an orange from MAC. I like it but I would not say it was anything spectacular.

Show Orchid - Amplified finish, Vivid hot pink
I love this. I like lipsticks with blue undertones and this is a vivid hot pink with blue undertones. Another one I will be wearing often this fall.
