Hope all is well!!....I recently did a purchase from MAC from the Strength and Apres Collection but I have been wanting to get Ruby Woo for the longest and have been hearing positive and negatives about this specific lipstick. Now you don't know until you've tried something how it works in your favor, right. Well this lady here: Ruby Woo is kinda bipolar, I think she is a Gemini like me. I want to like her, because she is a matte texture, opaque, intense, my kinda shade but she doesn't produce in my favor sometimes.
Now when I started using this lipstick I realized it wasn't applying for me, I remembered a Youtuber stated that I had to swipe it on a paper towel couple times before applying and I did that. Applied it and loved the intensity and the shade itself. Nevertheless, after minor drinking, I realized it was fading on my lips and feeling like play dough. Ruby Woo I love you but your texture irks me. In conclusion check out my look, I didn't do anything to my eyes, it was more so about my lips and my face was working on light coverage.

i feel the same way.. i looove how it looks but the way it fades so quickly is very annoying :(
ReplyDeleteI kno right, such a pretty color but fades in the worst way.
DeleteI have Ruby Woo and I have the Wet n Wild dupe for it. I feel like I could've saved my money on the RW because it's not dependable.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you, I hav that Wet n Wild color too, didn't even kno they were dupes. I love the wet n wild lipstick texture.
DeleteI used to get so frustrated with it as well, until I tried this. I use NARS Velvet Matte Lip pencil in Dragon Girl to fill in my lips, & then I apply Ruby Woo on top of that.I then lightly dust some MAC prep + prime pressed powder, with a brush. You could wear the lip pencil alone, but it also fades. The combination of the 2 is AMAZING. They wear for 10 hrs on me without fading. No re-application needed even with eating ( I ate ribs to test this combo)& drinking.
ReplyDeleteThank for the suggestion, I don't own that NARS product but sure will be adding to my wish list, the name sounds fierce (smiles).... Lol at your testing method !!!!
DeleteHot gyal!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love rw 2. I will try paper towel trick
