Saturday MOTD: Sick with a Red Lip

Hi!

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend! Unfortunately I got the flu so I've been sick in bed these past few days. I managed to pull myself together to bring my daughter to another birthday party for a family friend on Saturday. I tried uploading this post yesterday but I couldn't figure out how to upload photos from my phone (so simple yet so difficult)....

Here is my MOTD! 

 

Because I'm sick, I decided to throw on some red lipstick to make myself feel better! I don't wear red lips all that often because I really have to be in the mood for it. However, since the release of MAC's Retro Matte collection, I thought I should get some good use out of all the bold lipsticks I decided to hoard buy! (See what I bought from the collection here)

If you're interested in seeing more pictures of my MOTD as well as a list of products used on my face, then keep reading!

MAC Retro Matte Collection for Fall 2013

Hi ladies! 

As promised, I have another quick blog post for you today on MAC's most recent collection. MAC launched the MAC Retro Matte Collection for Fall 2013 last Thursday, September 12th in stores, and I had the chance to pick up a few items.

According to MAC, "Inspired by Ruby Woo's overwhelming popularity and one-of-a-kind texture, MAC introduces new bold shades in its 'Reteo Matte' finish. Eye-catching colours like Dangerous and All Fired Up create a look that's fiercely feminine. MAC also premieres Pro Longwear Lip Pencils in a vibrant colour palette, giving this long-lasting and transfer-proof pencil an exhilarating makeover" 

I must say, I own Ruby Woo and it is a fantastic lipstick formula! It doesn't appear to be as drying as most matte lipsticks, and it is so incredibly vibrant and bold. Needless to say, I was excited to hear that MAC would be launching 7 new colours, with some of them being permanent! Below is a list of shades that MAC released with this collection:
