MAC/Rihanna: Talk That Talk Lipstick

Moments ago, my package finally arrived.  I felt like it was my birthday all over again!!  I couldn't wait to tear open the box...and there it was...the coveted Talk That Talk Lipstick!!!!

I ran around the house looking for my camera.  I couldn't resist the urge to swatch the lipstick.  Talk That Talk was pretty easy to swatch, so naturally, I wanted to see what it would do on my lips.  Perhaps I should have waited, because the lipstick snapped in half. :o(  I didn't know how to respond...should I cry, scream, throw myself on the floor?  Once I recovered, I found a box of matches I use to light my candles and lightly melted the bottom of the piece of lipstick I held in my hand and reattached the lipstick.  I took a quick flame around the circumference of the lipstick and luckily the signature was still in tact.

Needless to say, my lipstick is now in the freezer and hopefully that fixes it.  I can't tell whether Talk That Talk will be a patchy mess, as others have reported.  It is definitely dry, but I've had dryer.  A shade this dark will take some getting used to, for me, but I'm up for the challenge.  I must say, this color is PERFECT for Fall.  Tonight, I'll be meeting friends for my Belated Birthday dinner and I absolutely cannot wait to rock this lip color.
