As I was picking up the Mac Christmas Set: Objects of Affection Rose, I spotted the Rihanna lipstick set and bag and had to swatch the colors. Now, I wasn't expecting to like the two lipsticks but after swatching them I did. At that point I was on a mission to find dupes for the two lipsticks, and after much searching I couldn't find anything. So there was only one option, buy the set, the set was a cheaper way to buy the two lipsticks together rather then buying them separately.
The packaging of the lipsticks are matte red, which almost look like velvet. They both have the iconic Mac lipstick smell and the professional look. The colors are brown (2) and red (1), they are very creamy and easy to apply, but the brown shade for my skin tone can look a bit over the top if applied to heavy. The brown shade does feel a little gritty when applying it though once on it feels great. The color pay off is unreal and the color does last fairly long though there is transfer of the lipsticks when kissing, eating and drinking.
What's your favorite Mac Lipstick?

Thank you, It is and it was, I believe you can still pick it up now just in normal packaging for the Viva Glam range. I really want to try Velvet Teddy, I just haven't been lucky enough to find it in stock hehe x
