Rouge, matte, and record breaking decribe Megastar, Rihanna’s, new RiRi Woo Lipstick from MAC Cosmetics. I will say, I’m a die hard fan of MAC’S Ruby Woo, but this little lipstick sang a slightly different song. It’s a really deep ruby red that’s not so dark that it looks like grandma’s expired burgundy, but not as bright as Ronald McDonald’s hair. The color works well on all skin tones, but I would suggest a similary colored lip liner so it doesn’t bleed pass your lip lines. And, for the texture? If you’ve been searching for a matte, RiRi Woo is SUPER matte! Once it’s on, it’s on! The texture is heavy, and won’t budge. I applied early in the evening, and the color lasted all night. It took 2 makeup wipes to fully remove it. It’s slightly darker than MAC’s classic Ruby Woo, and I beleive the texture is a little heavier and dry (but not ashy dry). I’ve been a gloss-aholic these days, but RiRi Woo’s got me feeling a little rebellious! Rihanna recently posted on her instagram feed that the lipstick sold out in 3 hours! Yes, sad but true! Supposedly, there will be restocking online this coming June. MAC RiRi Woo Lipstick will retail for $16 at maccosmetics.com. Get your coins ready!

Marketers find unique ways to sell a brand to consumers. The art of marketing has a lot to do with keeping up with market trends, and researching what is the most popular way to persuade potential consumers to invest in particular brands. Take Rihanna for instance. During the time when Rihanna first arrived on the music scene, there where not many other artists out with the same Caribbean flavor she was bringing to the table. This was the “umph” used to drive sales for her first album.
