Happy Days – Rihanna to Collaborate with M.A.C

So the make-up Gods have finally got their act together, answered my prayers and bought M.A.C cosmetics and Rihanna together!

As WWD reported early yesterday morning, Rihanna will collaborate with M.A.C and release four colour collections throughout the year. The first product we’ll see is MAC RiRi Woo – a lipstick inspired by the bestseller, Ruby Woo lipstick. This will launch to coincide with her concerts taking place in New York on  May 4-5 and you’ll be able to buy it online and at the concerts – M.A.C will be setting up a pop-up shop to sell it from.

The collection will be called RiRi (Hearts) MAC and include a total of 31 products. The summer collection will be sold online, and will include two additional lipsticks, lustre drops, and a blush duo. The third will be in stores for Autumn and feature 16 products, such as lipsticks, a lipglass version of RiRi Woo, eye shadow palettes, and false lashes. The final collection will be in-stores in time for Christmas with ten products, such as nail polish, makeup bags, and more lipsticks. RiRi Woo will be sold in all four collections.

I can’t wait! I just know I’ll spend a small fortune on this collection. I’ve resigned myself to this fact and have accepted my fate like the faithful make up fan that I am. My only minute gripe is with the packaging, it’s not what I’d envisaged (I think it looks a bit cheap) but I’m prepared to overlook it.
