Styling with Rihanna M.A.C RiRi Woo lipstick

/

We all know her as our RiRi, the sassy urban artist from Barbados with the golden voice, but Rihanna is more than just a voice, she's a pretty savvy business woman as well. She has joined MAC Cosmetics to unveil a fierce new collection that really speaks to her style and persona. The RiRi Woo lipstick, a gorgeous deep red shade that was inspired by the brand's famous Ruby Woo shade she's famously known for wearing. Released May 2 online, is sold out from Mac until June. It hit the shelves May 4th. The cool cosmetic collaboration officially launched online (they were also available at the star's concerts at Barclays Center) and apparently sold out almost immediately thereafter. While we continue to love her music, we can now enjoy a bit of her fiery style with this new lipstick.
