MAC Retro Matte Lip Collection-SWATCHES!

Hi guys! I posted about this collection last week, you can check out my previous post here.  The collection is out in stores, and the sales persons/make up artists still weren't able to tell me which of the new shades will be permanent.  I hear that most of them will be, if not all.  Anywho, I swatched the collection below.  Check out the shades, these are def some beauties!!

Steady Going, Dangerous, Runway Hit, Flat out Fabulous, Relentlessly Red, All Fired Up and Fixed on Drama.

**For whatever reason, my MAC only had five of the pencils, so that's all I could swatch...perhaps the other colors are already part of MAC's permanent range**.

Dynamo, Trust In Red, Shock Value, Fashion Boost, and High Energy.

MAC's New Retro Matte Lip Collection

MAC released a new collection today, one that many lipstick lovers will find exciting! The Retro Matte collection is available online now, and in stores next Thursday, September 12th. The collection is said to be: "Inspired by Ruby Woo's overwhelming popularity and one-of-a-kind texture, M•A•C introduces new bold shades in its Retro Matte finish. Eye-catching colours like Dangerous and All Fired Up create a look that's fiercely feminine. M•A•C also premieres Pro Longwear Lip Pencils in a vibrant colour palette, giving this long-lasting and transfer-proof lip pencil an exhilarating makeover." (From MAC's website).

The collection features lipsticks and pro longwear lip pencils.  The lipsticks retail for $15 and the lip pencils $19.50. All of the lipsticks have a retro matte finish.  If you're not familiar with retro matte finish, it is essentially a less drying matte formula.  All of the lipsticks in the RiRi Hearts MAC collection had a retro matte finish. There is confusion on whether or not the items are limited edition or permanent (possibly in an attempt to drive up sales), but it appears that most of them will be permanent with only a couple limited edition colors.  So if you miss out on this release, chances are you won't be completely out of luck. I will post swatches next week when I hit the MAC store for an in person review.

Lipsticks:
*Steady Going (light pink matte)
*Runway Hit (light matte nude)
*Dangerous (orangey red matte)
*Relentlessly Red (bright pinkish coral matte)
*All Fired Up (bright fuschia matte)
*Flat Out Fabulous (bright plum matte)
*Ruby Woo (very matte vivid blue red)
*Fixed on Drama (rich wine matte)

*Staunchly Stylish (pinky beige)
*Dynamo (intense pink cream)
*Shock Value (bright pink cream)
*High Energy (bright orange red cream)
*Trust in Red (bright cool red cream)
*More to Love (intense bluish pink)
*Fashion Boost (bright purple cream)
