There's a fire starting in my heart
its reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
it's my 'Ruby Woo'
There are red lipsticks and then there is MAC Ruby Woo. Like the red apple tempted Eve, Ruby Woo has tempted and teased me senseless.For me this is epitome of classic Red and reminds me of pin up girls & old Hollywood glamour.
Its a flat blue based red, and despite it bluish undertones I feel it would suit duskier skin tones as well.This shade instantly makes me feel like a strong & sexy woman. It assures you a steady stream of eyeballs (in a good way!)
Packaging-Comes in standard MAC's black bullet shaped tube.Priced at INR 990/- for 3grams of lippie (pricey indeed, but then all of MAC is)
Love the retro white on black lettering!
Ingredients
MAC lippies smell of delicious vanilla and the smell is very pleasant. When MAC says Matte lipstick - it means 'M-A-T-T-E' this baby is dry as desert & wouldn't budge from your lips.Its an intense retro pigment and it needs well hydrated and exfoliated lips to pull it off.It stays on and on and on... (sorry Ms. Woo if I make you sound like Duracell Bunny!)
Now for some swatches

Should you look for a Ruby Woo dupe- While I'm a firm believer of Value for Money and finding great dupes,there are some things that shouldn't be duped like red hot Ferraris and Red hot Ruby Woo.I had swatched over 30 red lipsticks before I finally realized Ruby Woo is utterly unique and no other lippie (in Indian Market) compares on pigmentation, color pay off & texture. Trust me when I say this, if you are going to buy only 1 single red lipstick in this lifetime and want it to be a timeless classic -go with Miss Ruby Woo.
Here's a video of Lisa Eldridge, where the makeup Goddess herself explains how to get the perfect red lips a la Dita von Teese with MAC Ruby Woo.
And just for fun here's Ruby Woo, topped off with Revlon Colorburst lip gloss Bordeaux
And here's me pouting for the (imaginary) shutterbugs (sorry couldn't resist it!)
Is Miss Woo tempting you too? comment & tell

I own this and it's one of my fav red lippies! By the way, I just followed your blog.
ReplyDeleteYes I've seen your FOTDs with Ruby Woo, looks good on you! Thanks for following :)
DeleteBeautiful color! Need to get myself this one, no matter what! Also i love that song ! there's a fire starting in my heart!
ReplyDelete:D Oh do snag this you'd love it! And God Bless Adele such powerful vocals I can't stop listening to her songs!!
Deletesuperb shade !! IBC yesterday only i was thinking of adding a red lippie to my makeup collection... this post has made it easy :)
ReplyDeleteHey Shalini- a perfect red lipstick is an absolute must have, till recently I too steered clear of red & just realized what I was missing in my kit. Do check it out (and while you are at it, check out Russian Red as well) :)
DeleteI saw Russian Red too today but they didn't have it in stock :( So I gave them my contact and told them to ring me the SECOND it comes in :P BTW, have you tried the Racer Red from their collection? Any thoughts?
Deleteit looks every bit gorgeous on you..dunno if i can carry it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hun! I'm sure you'll look sinzzling hot in this one! Wear it like a statement lips with neutral eyes, I'm sure you'll rock it!
DeleteAha...the review that I was waiting for! This is such a bombshell of a lippie na! Suits everyone!
ReplyDeleteBtw... Ur email subscription is not working yaar! Tried another mail id and not receiving it.. Not in my spam too! Is it just me or have others complained too?
If Ruby Woo was a girl she'd be a bombshell like Marilyn! Its bowled me over! I dunno about the snag with email subscription will check it out, guess blogger is acting up. Een my dashboard is not showing updates of all blogs I'm following :(
Deletewow this is such a gorgeous shade! i dont own a single red lipstick and honestly wanted to try atleast once as m dead scared to carry red ones :(
ReplyDeleteIf you are just starting out with red try something that you are comfortable with, 'coz this is a bold shade & take some getting used to (but once you acquire a taste for bold red you'd never go back to muted red!) Check out Revlon Really Red that's a nice matte red,else try Inglot matte lip pencil number 21.
Deletethanks for the suggestions Pooja..will check out both :)
Deletethe glossy red luks gud than the matte one...am not a big fan of matte lipstick but
ReplyDeleteYes glossy lips do look better, but I'm just acquiring a taste for mattes too.. they just look so sophisticate
DeleteGorgeous shade <3 Looking fab on your lips!!!1
