MAC Betty Boop Lipstick ($17)

Boop-oop-a-doop!
OK?that?s all I know about Betty Boop, LOL! I just never went through a Betty Boop phase, but I did envy her skinny brows somethin? fierce in the ?90s.
That, and her signature red pout was/is perfection. It inspired MAC?s sassy new Betty Boop Lipstick, which comes to town on Valentine?s Day for $17. It?s an opaque bright red online exclusive, and it looks a little like MAC Red Lipstick.

Wearing the new $17 MAC Betty Boop Lipstick

Ya know, I?ve really been into MAC mattes lately. I think they totally stepped up their game in terms of their matte lipstick formula, and even though my lips are ragged as hell in this pic (I?ve got flakes for days), you can?t really see them. The lipstick lounges magically on my lips without hugging any flaky bits, and it avoids my vertical lip lines, too. Is it just me, or does this finish have a lazy luster" It?s isn?t completely flat, is it" There?s a subtle shine up in the mix? I think. Hard to say. I like it, though. It keeps things interesting.
I love this color, but gosh, MAC, couldn?t you have done a little something with the packaging" I mean, come on. It?s Betty Boop! Sure, the box is cute, but what about the tube"
Missed opportunity.
If you rock reds with a slight blue hue a la MAC Russian Red, I bet you?ll love MAC Betty Boop. Check it out on the MAC website (remember, online exclusive) February 14th through March 31st.
