MAC Betty Boop Red Lipstick Review & Swatches
I almost didn't get this lipstick, but I'm SO GLAD I did! Everyone kept saying there was no special packaging! Even beauty enthusiasts that received it for free. I was a little confused & on the fence about this, because sometimes companies only send specially packaged makeup (outside container) to beauty enthusiasts to review; and when regular consumers buy the product they don't get all of the extras. I didn't know if the box was extra or not! I took a chance and ordered this lipstick. The lipstick itself doesn't have special packaging, but the outside carton (box) the lipstick comes in does. Hello! Hallo! Outside packaging IS PACKAGING! HaHaHa My little beauty room has a Betty Boop shelf! Don't worry, I haven't showcased it yet. I did get a lovely mirror for it over the holidays, but I have to get my contractor to put up some more shelves (for all the eye shadow palettes I have accumulated collected tee hee) and order some more acrylic makeup containers. It will get done. I refuse to show it until everything is together (but it will be soon). But anyway, this Betty Boop box will display perfectly on my Betty Boop shelf (see a sneak peak below...remember the Jean Paul Gaultier Betty Boop perfume I got last year). So about the lipstick! It's a creamy, blue toned red. The formula is really nice. I usually detest blue reds, but this one has proven to be very lovely. I love it! Do you already have this red in your lipstick collection? Yes. Probably. Highly Likely. So you don't need it! But if you love Betty Boop or just want a lipstick with the name Betty Boop Red on the bottom, you should get it. Vain, yes. But I think some missed out on this due to everyone saying no special packaging! Everyone IS hoping MAC will come out with a MAC x Betty Boop COLLECTION ... WITH SPECIAL PACKAGING! It would be so popular. I do think they're coming out with a Beauty & The Beast Collection, but I haven't seen anything so far. If you have, please let me know :) This lipstick was issued on Valentine's Day! And I'm happy to tell you, MAC Betty Boop Red Lipstick ($17) is still available on MAC's website if interested.

Kim, I love that you have a Betty Boop shelf in your beauty room! I bet it is fabulous! This red is stunning on you. :)
ReplyDeleteThe packaging is cute! The color looks pretty on you. I'm not a huge red fan in general just because its high maintenance but I will pull out a red every now and then. My grandmother used to LOVE Betty Boop so she reminds me of her. I don't love MAC anymore but I MAY be VERY tempted if they come out wit a Beauty and the Beast line!
ReplyDeleteI actually really like the fact that this lipstick has a special box but looks the same as a regular MAC lipstick inside - it's a nice balance for fans of Betty Boop and those who may just like the particular shade of red lipstick. And the shade is gorgeous on you, Kim! It suits you just perfectly.
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
It's a shame the actual packaging doesn't have anything special but it looks like the boxes will be perfect for your Betty Boop shelf :) And I totally agree, if they came out with a collection with special packaging it would definitely be a hit!

That's a beautiful red lipstick! And the box packaging is so cute. I agree, the box is still packaging! I can't wait to see your beauty room, Kim! I'm glad it's almost finished! And I would love to see s beauty and the beast collection from Mac!
ReplyDeleteEven if you already have it, it is a really perfect red, and I can see how some people might be disappointed that the tube had no artwork. The box is really cute though!

Too bad they didn't do something more special with the actual lipstick but still pretty cool that the name is Betty Boop Red and that box will probably look awesome on your Betty Boop shelf Kim! Eagerly awaiting the big reveal of your beauty room :)
ReplyDeleteThe packaging looks cool. It would be nice to see your Betty Boop shelf. The lipstick colour is lovely on you.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge collector like you (I tend to only want products that I use) but omg this red is everythinggggggg.

I dont think they will do a whole collection. Her makeup isn't versatile enough to have enough pieces. Beauty and the Beast is a much better guess. At least that is what I think, strangely enough MAC not once asked my opinion...
ReplyDeletePlease share the beauty room soon, I love taking a peak into other peoples sanctuary.

I love Betty Boop. This packaging is the sweetest! You're right that outside packaging is packing too...and this one looks so lovely displayed in your Betty Boo corner. The packaging of the lipstick itself looks simple and sleek.
ReplyDeleteThis shade of red looks great on your lips. You were right to order this one. It is a lovely lipstick, with our without the packaging.
btw I didn't know that companies sometimes send differently packaged products to beauty enthusiast. So, thanks for letting me know. I can understand why they do it- to make the product look more appalling when it is being presented in a review but I imagine it ends up in a let down for regular customers.
The packaging looks so cute and the color as well. It fits you perfectly x

Betty Boop is so sweet and so I'd imagine the more the themed packaging, the happier the Betty Boop fans - you're right, haha!! The shade itself is really gorgeous, and quite possibly one of my fave shades to have seen you review so far :)
