Wow. I truly feel like it has been forever and a day since my last real blog post. -insert sad face- I've missed you all! I sincerely apologize for being so MIA for the month of April, things have just truly been all over the place for the past few weeks but, thankfully now I can breathe, concentrate and get back to what I love, writing.
It's May now! Can you believe it? For the love of croissants where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday 2013 was beginning and here we are now, five months in. You may be wondering my reason for making this post and that is, I wanted to give my honest and heartfelt THANK YOU to each and every one of you who take time out of your day to visit and read my blog. I cannot believe that over the past few weeks, my follow count has blossomed to an amazing forty-three readers. You all are positively delightful, marvelous and downright amazing, I cannot thank you enough. It is your support and all of your comments that makes posting such a joy. I remember the day that Dollface Beauty received it's first official follower; and to see my blog come this far, and to see myself grow and become a better writer absolutely boggles my mind. So to each and every one of you, this post and every other is for you!

MAC RiRi Woo Launches @ 12pm EST!
Hey lovelies! The time is finally here and the much anticipated Rihanna version of MAC's famous Ruby Woo lipstick is about to launch! You can check out my first post detailing the collaboration here. In short, Rihanna has teamed up with MAC Cosmetics to release a whopping FOUR collections (thirty-one products in total) throughout 2013 to coincide with her latest tour. With a little bit a lot of lurking I was able to track down an early swatch for RiRi Woo and so far...I am quite unimpressed, see for yourself below! RiRi Woo launches online & at Rihanna concerts on May 2nd!
While the lipstick is undeniably gorgeous (for those that love reds) I can't help but think, how does it look any different from Ruby Woo? I do not yet have Ruby Woo in my collection but from what I can tell, the color looks identical and the ONLY difference seems to be the special stamping on the bullet. This is a major let down for me as I was really looking forward to this lipstick but, as of right now, I'm going to pass on this one.
Retail: $15
RiRi Woo is now officially SOLD OUT until June

MAC All About Orange Collection Launching Soon!
"Orange. Its vibrant energy and modern edge ignites fashion and beauty big time in Korea, the rest of Asia and the world. It's one of the new global super shades that pops with sizzle and cool sophistication. M∙A∙C translates the trend with international impact into a colour collection for face, lips and nails." - MAC website
Hi lovelies!! I know that I've failed to post about the last few MAC releases but, I learned about this upcoming collection a few days ago and could NOT resist posting; I almost leaped out of my chair when reading about it..okay not really but you get my point. My first thought was "mother of god, imagine the lipsticks" because as you might know by now, Scarlet Ibis has me hooked and captivated by makeup of the orange variety. I have quickly learned that orange shades, especially reddened orange is most flattering to my warm skin tone. However, I often look past that and wear whatever the hell I want. Oh Scarlet Ibis..why couldn't you be included? I am completely disappointed to find that there is not a single matte lipstick in this collection but, thankfully I have fallen in love with Neon Orange and will absolutely be picking it up; Sushi Kiss has me intrigued as well. Overall, everything looks beautiful so far and I am over the moon that MAC decided to release this collection since orange is a color that quite a few people shy away from; beyond excited here!! This collection will be launched June 6th and available both in stores and online.
