The ‘Bad Girl’s back! Rihanna – the new face for Viva Glam in 2014 – launches a new colab with MAC with two new lipsticks, Bad Girl and Pleasure Bomb, along with a red nail polish, and Thread’s favourite – a gold liquid eyeliner.
The entire range is packaged in white packaging with rose gold logo and Rihanna’s signature on each.
The compacts have a large, angular letter R and a handwritten "RiRi hearts MAC" and lipsticks have the R on a white background with a rose gold bullet lid emblazoned with "RiRi hearts MAC."
Thread’s favourite piece in the collection is a liquid eyeliner pen in rose gold, called Cockiness ($46, pictured below), which also comes in shimmery white frost, called Pisces Persuasion. It stays on for hours and has a precise, narrow line, and a very bronze rose gold effect.

Below: The Bronzing Powder has a satin medium-brown shade, with a rose gold ‘R’ to blend on your brush for a shimmering highlighted effect. Bronzing Powder in ‘Love, Rihanna’ $56.
In a similar case to the bronzing powder, is the stunning eyeshadow compact ($105). This comes in five shades, in two colourways: Phresh Out (pictured below), and 2x Dare. The Veluxe Pearlfusion Shadow palette is definitely one of the highlights of the collection. On a practical note, I like how the centre shade – the iridescent pink – is double the width of the deep plum shade, so it ends up lasting longer than the dark liner colours. The grey-brown second from the bottom is similar to the Extra Dimension Eyeshadow ‘Silver Dawn’ which we feature in the MAC ‘Magnetic Nude’ collection, on Thread here. The rose gold shadow second from the top is the signature look of the collection.
RiRi hearts MAC is available from 6th January 2014 from all New Zealand MAC locations.
