So it just worked out perfectly that this collection came out on September 30, since my "Makeup No Buy" started on October 1st. Meant to be? I think so. I knew I didn't plan on going too crazy with this collection, but I did want at least one thing because the packaging was to die for. 

Now I expected this collection to be popular, but what I didn't expect was a two and a half hour wait to even get on the website.

I mean, really?! I had researched this collection pretty thoroughly because I'm definitely at the stage where I don't need to purchase makeup just for the pure fact of buying it. I wanted to make sure I was purchasing something that I would use. 

When I finally got onto the website the one thing that was still in stock was the eyeshadow quad in Her Cocoa, SCORE! That is what I really wanted from the beginning, so I snagged it right on up. Unfortunately I also wanted the blush, but it was sold out. I did purchase the Quad, but I have not received it yet. 

So the moral of the story is I broke my rule, I went to three different malls on Thirsday trying to pick it up. Unfortunately, I live in a major city so it was sold out everywhere. I had finally given up...until...Saturday I went to work withy boyfriend in a smaller town. As soon as we arrived I googled to see if there was a MAC close by, nope, so once again I gave up. A friend of mine from work lives close by to where we were so I went to meet her for lunch, and as we were driving through the parking lot I saw outside of Belk a sign that read, "MAC has Arrived" and I made her pull over. I ran inside and low and behold there it was, in stock! So once again the moral of the story, I did buy makeup, but I'm forgiving myself since it is limited edition and it was freakin sold out everywhere! It was meant to be. 

The name is "Good Girl Gone Bad" and

I'm so excited about this! I was scared of this because it is such a dark color, but I decided that Fall is here and I can always use a light hand. Luckily I do believe this color is doable for my skin tone. It is a warm copper color and a satin finish. It does have very strong pigmentation, which for me means I really must be careful with how I apply it. 

     

I'm very happy with my purchase. In the picture above I applied it with a regular blush brush, which was a little much for my skin tone, but I also tried with a stippling brush and it turned out much more wearable for an every day look. 

Good job Rihanna!
